ABOUT
So, you might be wondering why we named our tech consultancy Metis Strategic Services. Well, it’s all about drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek goddess Metis. She was like the original strategist in Greek mythology, known for her smart planning and wisdom.
Imagine her as the go-to advisor for the gods when they needed a game plan. So, we thought, ‘Why not channel some of that Metis magic into our tech consultancy?’
Our goal is to be your tech-savvy buddy, helping you navigate the digital world with smarts and foresight, just like Metis did back in the day for the gods. We’re all about bringing that strategic edge to our tech solutions.
