“Thornton Tomasetti has grown over the years based on our firm’s ability to quickly respond to new opportunities in the market,” explained Jim Dray, Chief Information Officer for Thornton Tomasetti. “As our legacy ERP software neared its end of life, we took a step back and evaluated new cloud platforms.
