CLEVELAND, Aug. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Digitization is occurring at a breakneck pace inside enterprises, non-profits and government agencies. More than simply adopting new technologies or increasing bandwidth for web access, digitization represents the mass adoption and integration of smart and connected communication technologies among consumer, business and government users. As it increases its presence in the Cleveland region, Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), is working to make its global consulting expertise available to local businesses. To aid regional business leaders in understanding and managing digitization in their organizations, Logicalis US is hosting an Open House and discussion on innovation, collaboration and productivity including a presentation by visionary educator, technologist and smart city architect Lev Gonick.

"Logicalis brings mature processes and service offerings that can help customers in the Cleveland market as they embrace digitization and develop new business strategies.
