Samsung Pay and Contis join forces to drive financial inclusion
Contis, a leading provider of end-to-end banking, payments and processing solutions in the UK and Europe, today announces its landmark partnership with Samsung Pay, the mobile payment and digital wallet service.
Contis is the first payments provider to integrate Samsung Pay’s market-leading functionality across a Credit Union proposition delivering the service to over 150 Credit Unions across the UK and providing members with the ability to leverage technology to manage their finances more effectively at a time of increasing budgetary pressure.
The agreement marks Samsung Pay’s entry into the Credit Union market and signals an important milestone in its wider expansion into the financial services sector as the business looks to leverage its market share in Android handset sales.
Samsung Pay will also be integrated into Contis’ Canvas proposition, a white label solution that provides companies with a powerful, configurable end-to-end platform that is supported by licences enabling deployment throughout Europe. Canvas and Samsung Pay together are creating a one stop solution for business banking by giving companies the power to enhance their business through award winning functionality supported by a world leading brand.
Thomson Reuters Collaborates with eBrevia to Deliver AI-Driven Contract Remediation Solution
Thomson Reuters has teamed up with eBrevia, a leading machine-learning contract analytics platform, to help enterprises tackle large and complex contract remediation projects involving commercial contracts.
The collaboration enhances the award-winning managed services from Thomson Reuters with greater technology enablement, accelerating clients’ ability to execute on contract remediation.
As an established leader in contract remediation and repapering efforts, Thomson Reuters is trusted by clients to deliver continually improving speed and accuracy without compromising defensible processes. Remediation has historically been labor-intensive, requiring large teams and manual effort. To reduce that effort, Thomson Reuters explored whether an AI partner could provide more automation to its remediation solution. After expansive testing undertaken by Thomson Reuters managed services experts and technologists, eBrevia was selected.
“We sought an innovative partner that not only could deliver results but also could work with us to build something beyond just traditional data extraction,” said Eric Laughlin, managing director, Thomson Reuters Legal Managed Services. “To make our selection, we pressure-tested emerging abstraction technologies with real world contract sets, and found that the machine learning technology employed by eBrevia delivered consistent results while offering excellent project management and quality control features.”
