Our vision to create a global standard for trade will be achieved through our work with other technology providers that build upon the interoperability of our network and streamlines processes. With Mphasis's global footprint and expertise in financial services, our work together will ensure that organisations can reap the benefit of improved trade," said Carl Wegner, CEO, Contour.
