Because many customers have support needs beyond just third-party maintenance, the Co-Sourcing business unit is a perfect complimentary offering to our services portfolio.”

With over 30 years of consulting and client support experience with JD Edwards applications, Cudmore’s success leading divisional and enterprise-wide initiatives brings a distinctive outlook to the Spinnaker Support Co-Sourcing team. Cudmore recognizes the keys to client success are founded on thorough analysis and a detailed understanding of each client’s unique strategies, issues, goals, and expectations. Such an approach will allow Spinnaker Support to further define, craft, and tailor the specific Co-Sourcing services required by each client.

I am thrilled to become part of their growing team and to contribute to the positive difference they are making to numerous companies across multiple industries,” said Paul Cudmore. “The opportunity to lead a seasoned team with an average 15 years’ experience, as well as work for a company that has proven itself to be the leader in third-party maintenance, is a great honor.”
