"The Triniti team helped us take our first step in the Oracle Cloud journey with Oracle Demand Management Cloud. They helped both the AngioDynamics IT and Forecasting teams focus on business processes and the overall solution design. Triniti's deep understanding of business and application capabilities was a key driver. Their ability to listen to our needs and then understand any gaps between our needs and the application capabilities was essential to knowing upfront what to expect with a final solution. When gaps were identified, the Triniti team was able to get creative to find alternative and suitable solutions"
