July 14, 2010. Cambridge, MA. Today, Zapoint, a leader in career management software, announced that Current Innovative Solutions (CIS) has selected SkillsMapper™ for employee skills management and development. CIS, a strategic HR and Technology Consulting firm, needed a more effective way of locating skills for current and future client projects.
