Conpend TRADE AI app goes live on Finastra ’ s FusionFabric . cloud
Finastra has announced a new app available on its FusionFabric . cloud open development platform , Conpend TRADE AI . The app builds on the functionality of Finastra ’ s Fusion Trade Innovation technology to significantly cut document and compliance checking time .
Vertiv , a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions , has announced key additions to its award-winning Vertiv Partner Programme ( VPP ) along with an enhanced suite of Edge-ready products , including rack power distribution units ( rPDU ), uninterruptible power supplies ( UPS ), rack cooling systems , dedicated software and services for partners and customers in Europe , Middle East and Africa ( EMEA ).
Following the successful launch of the VPP last year , Vertiv has seen a tenfold increase in its channel partner base across EMEA and is continuing to add benefits for new and existing partners . The brand-new partner relationship management ( PRM ) system and the enhanced partner portal will enable Vertiv partners to take immediate advantage of tailored trainings to match partner requirements ; new sales and marketing tools ; online trainings and certification ; and product selectors and configurators . The new suite of tools has been designed to help partners develop key skills and knowledge and achieve greater differentiation and profitability along with increased business opportunities .
Joachim Fischer , EMEA Channel Sales Director at Vertiv , said : “ We see digitalisation gaining pace and 5G is becoming an ever-closer reality , with more than three-quarters of global telecom operators expecting to be delivering 5G services by 2021 . Our enhanced partner programme will continue to equip resellers with the best in class products and services to face the new challenges that technological advances will uncover , such as the critical need for Edge deployments .
“ We are committed to the future of the VPP and , building on an exceptional year , continuing to deliver the highest level of support to allow our channel partners to excel .”
Using optical character recognition ( OCR ), natural language processing ( NLP ) and progressive Machine Learning , Conpend TRADE AI digitises trade finance processes to reduce the risk , processing time and cost of trade finance operations .
“ We joined the FusionFabric . cloud platform as part of the early adopter programme , not only because the platform would enable us to integrate our TRADE AI solution faster with Finastra ’ s product portfolio , but also because we believe in Finastra ’ s vision of openness and collaboration ,” said Marc Smith , Founder and Director , Conpend . “ The platform has helped us to build , test and now deliver the integrated solution to a potentially huge market base . Going live in the store is a much-celebrated milestone for our two companies and we ’ re excited to be at the forefront of helping to bring much needed Digital Transformation and efficiency to the trade finance industry .”
Conpend TRADE AI extracts unstructured data from scanned paper documents and can also process already digitised data . The data is then screened and analysed , using rules and advanced analytics , to empower business users to make informed business decisions quickly and accurately .
