Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Certain legacy systems to support long-standing clients and infrastructure, are required. We are also actively investing in upgrades, where required. We encourage you to connect with your leaders to get involved in projects and work that will give you the opportunity to get exposure to new technology.
