LONDON, April 30, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB)
(TSX: GIB.A) has been selected to deliver a new global trade
technology platform by HSBC Group, one of the world's largest
banking organisations.
The platform is intended to accelerate the ongoing
transformation of HSBC's global trade and receivables business by
refreshing the underlying technology and improving agility and
processing capabilities. It will harness CGI Trade360, an
end-to-end global trade finance solution, which will deliver all
the software and business capability to power the bank's global
trade business.
The new infrastructure will help HSBC further drive its market
leadership and innovation agenda. It will leverage and converge
different emerging technologies for HSBC's clients, including
distributed ledger, APIs and Internet of Things. It will help HSBC
further enhance its customer service through higher levels of
digital engagement.
"We are very closely aligned with HSBC in our thinking on
how trade and supply chain finance should develop," explained
Neil Sadler, Senior Vice President,
UK Financial Services, at CGI. "Working together on an
important industry program such as this is mutually beneficial to
us both, as it will allow HSBC to speed up the process of bringing
additional value to their client base, while enabling CGI to
accelerate the value of our market leading intellectual
property."
