IGMAS’ involvement, Schaffhauser continued, was "a fine example of personal commitment, perseverance, and diplomacy that raised the level of the entire project team’s performance".
David Miller, IGMAS’ Vice President of Gaming and Hospitality Services indicated that outsourcing key roles is such efforts are becoming more the norm in today’s business environment.
