As a leading player in the Canadian management consulting and ServiceNow market, Manta Group represents the ideal qualities that we are seeking in a partner: financial strength, solid growth, incredible people, breadth and depth-of-experience in IT transformation, ServiceNow expertise, a similar entrepreneurial and innovative culture, and an extensive list of blue-chip customer relationships."
