"One of the things I did throughout the history of the company was to lead by example with regard to cost control. On the other hand, I believed that we should never scrimp on the hiring we did.

When we found our star talent, we would hire them at any cost because lesser people would end up costing more in the long run."
Jon Craton, Co-Founder & CEO, Cramer (now Amdocs)
