To respond to its rapidly changing business needs and increase its capacity to invest in new technology initiatives, a leading retailer partnered with Y&L to enhance existing IT systems. As part of the partnership, the retailer's employees that were involved in maintaining and enhancing existing applications were transitioned to Y&L employment. Transitioning staff to Y&L not only ensured continuity and retained intellectual property, but also offered the employees career development opportunities that were not previously available. Y&L's Retail business unit understands the Retail business processes and the technologies to enable them.
