Both H2I Group and Paton Group say the partnership will benefit not only the employees, but also their customers. Frank Paton, Division Manager of Paton Technology Group says, “We could not have chosen a better company to team up than H2I. Our team has been associated with H2I Group’s Education Technology team over the past 10 years. We have personally witnessed their emphasis of customer service and support.
