CPQi reveals Boyland . “ One of our key partners is Moody ' s Analytics , which is more on the risk for a loan side . And then , with the move towards digital transformation , we ' ve got established partnerships with Salesforce and with ServiceNow . All of those elements bring together a package enabling us to deliver both on the traditional training and risk systems and the move towards digital transformation .”
Boyland notes that many of the company ’ s partners have been undergoing their own transformations and migrations to the cloud – providing the opportunity to support and learn from each other . “ It ' s not just about being able to get a major platform on the cloud ; it ' s about the way in which the delivery of technology is done afterwards – typically using microservices and continuous integration , continuous deployment and automated testing in the cloud . And when you ' ve got a platform that wasn ' t built for that , it can be quite challenging … We ’ ve worked with many of our partners to
“ Channels have enabled us to electronically rebuild the communities we ' ve lost during the lockdown . Wellconstructed channels allow us to bring on board new customers and clients who are looking for a connected experience ” understand how the functionality can be built out using the data that ' s sitting in those platforms without cannibalising their existing organisation – migration both on the grid and then onto the pure cloud for our partners . For them , it ' s a different challenge because they have their legacy platforms out there . For us , it ' s an opportunity , in addition to our partner work , to work also more lightly and exclusively on specific microservice-based cloud developments which are native to the cloud from the beginning .”

We work across all of the major economies in the Americas and successfully navigate their tremendous cultural differences . If we look at Brazil with its spirit of adventure and incredible optimism , there ’ s a high level of sophistication in their banking systems which , in some ways , are far more advanced than North America . The offshore centre that we have in the North-Eastern city of Fortaleza still serves that community there . And what we ' re beginning to see is that as demand continues to increase dramatically , organisations that previously wanted their work done in major centres like Rio de Janeiro or in Sao Paulo are now
