“When I look back on my career, I am struck by the fact that while the skills needed to solve the most difficult business and IT challenges evolve quickly and continually, the fundamental ingredients for success remain the same: clients need a trusted and reliable partner who delivers day after day, year after year” said Crumlish.  “Our experts at CTG – whether they are shaping new approaches to data science, aligning electronic health records with evolving legislative requirements, operating mission-critical clinical help desks, providing custom software development work, managing IT service desks, implementing 3D digitization or setting new milestones of success in Industry 4.0 – all have one thing in common.  They provide the exceptional level of service that is the reason so many of our customers measure their engagements with CTG in decades. Being named to this list is a reflection of the great work CTG’s employees do every day.”
