It will be an ideal environment for developing software and managing our large-scale national and international events. We believe this region possesses a highly talented and motivated workforce, and we look forward to having these employees grow their careers with CDS.”

We are thrilled they see Bourne as a town worthy of expansion,” says Tom Guerino, town administrator for Bourne, Massachusetts.
