At 114 years old, Briggs & Stratton has been making engines since Theodore Roosevelt was president of the U.S. To remain successful over such a long time, the company has had to adapt to changes, and its IT strategy has evolved as well. Overt the past decade, the company has increasingly relied on IT services from trusted partners to support its business.
