Customized solutions - the Photo Forum case

How Photo Forum found not just a solution to its IT challenges, but also a trusted partner

Photo Forum (https://photo-forum.net) is the largest photography website in Bulgaria. Its founder struggled in managing its IT infrastructure with lower expenditure of time and money. Site maintenance required just a few hours of work per month. Creating an in-house IT department was not profitable. 

Neterra responded with a customized solution that met the specific needs of Photo Forum, offering them support and resources according to their own needs.

The Client

Photo Forum (https://photo-forum.net) is the first and largest Bulgarian photography site. It has over 20 years of history and is the organizer and co-organizer of many photography events, exhibitions, courses, workshops, and photography trips. However, the most important and long-standing thing that they do is the ability to share and communicate within their community.
