Having previously worked for one of the large consultancy firms, it is fantastic to work for ChangeNet Solutions. I have the pleasure of working for a firm that shares a client and delivery focus using real world experience to achieve results. We have a wealth of industry experience to leverage for advice and support. It is also great to see the leadership being at the forefront of industry developments and continuing to look at how CNS can support shifts in the market for clients.
