At Fiserv Inc I had the pleasure to work with a number of the CBS team as we developed and deployed Agiliti - the SaaS banking platform which was used by banks like Tandem Bank.
The team took the lead on a number of key areas of the programme. For example: design, risk, payments, infrastructure, procurement and PMO.
The CBS colleagues displayed a number of common and critical attributes: industry knowledge, subject matter expertise, teamwork, communication and work ethic. But the attribute which best reflects the CBS individual, team and business is integrity.
It’s been great working with CBS over many years. They’ve supported our JLP Payment strategy and provided us with insight and expertise along every step of our journey.
