With access to a variety of technological know-how and professional services from Umbrellar, Pax8’s partners are now better positioned to drive local and global digital transformation. According to Pax8, the firm is thrilled to welcome new employees from Umbrellar who offer expertise and skills that will support projects and services for digital transformation in Aotearoa and across the world.
