"CTG brings a proven track record and substantial management capability and technical expertise to this critical responsibility," said Bob Rickert, chief technology officer at KeyCorp. "CTG is providing a way for us to concentrate on our core business of providing banking services while maintaining a high level of locally based IT support in Western New York, a major market for KeyCorp."
