Femi Orangun, Solutions Architect at ULTUMUS, commented: “When I was looking for my next challenge, it was important that I joined a firm that had a vision and strategy with technology at its core, keen on driving change and was attuned to client needs. I found that with ULTUMUS. The role not only provides the opportunity to work with some of most experienced and talented individuals in the domain, but also to work on the best and most modern data architecture, free from the legacy dependencies of other providers in the sector. This ultimately allows us to reliably deliver the solutions clients demand and evolve with their needs.”
