DevOps/Cloud Engineer (AWS, PowerShell) - Manchester Central Department overview: EDM is a flexible solution that pulls any data types from multiple sources into a central hub. Customers are able to streamline front, middle and back office operations and create consistent versions of data in a fully audited and transparent environment.
