Strategic Alliance Arrangement with Datacom Systems Limited
Finzsoft Solutions Limited (NZX: "FIN") announces that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Finzsoft Solutions (New Zealand) Limited ("Finzsoft") has entered
into a Master Services Agreement ("MSA") with Datacom Systems Limited
("Datacom").
Finzsoft has agreed to transfer to Datacom its existing staff from its
Services division and Datacom will provide to the Finzsoft group software
support and development services.
Datacom will establish a FinTech Centre of Excellence for Finzsoft and a
dedicated systems integration capability, and will undertake continuous
improvement in relation to the services to be provided.
FIN has undertaken this transaction to allow the Finzsoft group to have a
sustainable, scalable and flexible arrangement to provide to the group and
its customers software support and development services.
Datacom was chosen to enter into the strategic relationship with the Finzsoft
group as Datacom is a New Zealand leader in applications development and
infrastructure provisioning and management, able to provide software support,
development and professional services to the Finzsoft group not only in New
Zealand and Australia but also in Asia through its regional offices.
FIN considers this relationship between two market leading, New Zealand-born,
technology firms will create new synergies between the two companies,
creating significant value for both organisations and providing greater
flexibility for the Finzsoft group.
Datacom is currently assisting Finzsoft to enhance Finzsoft''s offering of its
leading digital - API core and vertical banking software products and its
"software-as a-service" offerings.
It is currently envisaged that FIN will seek to raise further capital to fund
its expansion plans for Australia and Asia in respect of its disruptive
technology, particularly in the credit union, digital - API banking and SaaS
areas.
