IT Manager

About Trivelta

Plateau Enterprises is the parent company overseeing a group of operating entities — Trivelta, Kerma Games, NextGenVentures, and Surt. IT Administration operates on Plateau's behalf and is authorized to make IT decisions across all entities under the umbrella, while keeping each entity's systems and data properly isolated from one another.
