Our businesses wanted a fast, secure and cost-effective way to connect with their customers. We listened and responded with this winning collaboration with EHMC and Fusion. It's all part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the kind of leading edge services that will support our community's growth, encouraging business and investment in our City." Ron Fuschillo, EHMC CIO, commented, "EHMC has had a long and special history of collaboration with the town of Englewood.

It has been a pleasure to work with the outstanding Fusion team, who have managed the project in close concert with us from start to finish."
