From talent acquisition in a competitive market to increased costs from primary technology providers, we face headwinds.   In response, we are committed to keeping our list price rate increases for 2024 within a narrow range of 1-2% above regional CPI. This decision reflects our dedication to balancing the quality of our services with the economic realities faced by our international partners.   Your understanding and partnership are appreciated as we navigate these challenges together.
