Skanco, in partnership with the Manx government's Information Systems Division (ISD), is providing the organisers with the IT hardware needed to ensure the event runs smoothly, including free laptops and PCs for the large number of volunteers, as well as free support and maintenance.
The company is currently installing the hardware, consisting of over 30 units.
