We are happy to announce the release of our much awaited new version of the web site of CabotSolutions.com. With tight schedules on client projects, our own internal projects often take a back seat. It is challenging to commit resources and energy to finish in a timely fashion. This site has been in the works for at least 3 months. Many iterations of changes have gone into it, and I am sure our designers and programmers have felt the pain. However I appreciate the effort that went into it and thank everyone involved especially our Designer Naveen, and Developers Jinsy P and Shibu T.

This new version of the site includes many enhancements such as a new portfolio management system, a blog, and many SEO optimisation features. Stay tuned for more updates on the site.
