Initiatives/Projects:

• With this group of resources being brought on, some will be used for different initiatives. One of the initiatives we are working on is that we are creating another platform for data that does not fall under master data and that platform we're building up so we need a few people. We also have a merger and acquisition initiative and since the legacy system is getting decommissioned we have to build that capability and be ready in case a merger comes in the future.
