LIBIS aims to provide first-class services that meet the ever-changing needs of our partners and users. We choose products that give us the flexibility we need and that we can adapt ourselves. The importance of open systems and international standards cannot be underestimated. We aim for long-term agreements with suppliers that are open to dialogue and based on mutual trust.
