ca·den·za
/kəˈdenzə/ noun
a virtuosic solo passage inserted into a movement in a concerto or other work, typically near the end. Just like composers in the late 18th century trusted the most skilled musicians to create new beauty from a theme, in 2009 we assembled a team of IT virtuosos who could elevate the state of IT from status quo to world class. We are proud to offer the highest level of technical engineering and client service.
