Logical, the professional services and IT network integration company within the Datatec Group, has sold its French operations to a consortium of investors including the current management.
Datatec and Logical Group chief executive Jens Montanana said the disposal was consistent with Logical`s strategic direction to focus on those countries where it has greater critical mass.
"Logical is concentrating on areas where it has demonstrable differentiation, rather than be distracted by activities which require disproportionate investment and management time," said Montanana.
