With the acquisition of ECS, GlobalLogic advances its European and Financial Services footprint and adds a host of complementary cloud-centric offerings to its portfolio.

Additionally, ECS holds the DevOps Competency Accreditation from AWS.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always in search of differentiated companies that enhance our capabilities and expand our reach,\u201d stated Shashank Samant<\/u><\/a>, President and CEO, GlobalLogic. \u201cECS\u2019s expertise in complex cloud services, its strong position and presence in the UK, and the company\u2019s heritage in regulated industries such as financial services are all valuable additions to GlobalLogic. We are very excited to have the talented ECS team on board to deliver outstanding digital outcomes for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
