The organizations are very poros. Do you think this creates a security threat? Does this create a risk for client and data confidentiality?6.         Do you think remote working is the future especially when Ireland is looking to make “Work from home” a permanent option legally?-----CLOSING-----[Rujuta]So, on that note…Ciaran and Cormac, we would like to thank you for making time in your busy schedules to talk to us today.And for giving us an inside view of client engagement models, software development and your perspective on services as a team sport. Acknowledgements:Music by Ivan Spiek (with Permission)Cover Art created by Rujuta Kulkarni and Allen Higgins.
