FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Member Driven Technologies (MDT), a CUSO that hosts the Episys^® core processing system from Symitar^® to provide a private cloud alternative for core processing and IT needs, today announced that it has been acknowledged as a 2021 Cool Place to Work in Michigan by Crain’s Detroit Business for the fifth year in a row. MDT ranked no. 3 among the medium-sized companies on this year’s list and no. 15 overall.
