“Our unique technology deployment model is such that this data is centralized. Multiple tenants are working over one instance of technology. Of course, transactional level detail is kept separate because it has to be. But, when it comes to deriving insights from that data, it is one deployment model. And, I think it was Transplace’s unique perspective and frankly offers a significant advantage over some of the other companies out there.”

-Jim French, CTO, Transplace
