TAMPA, Fla., Jan 19, 2021 — Trellance, the leading provider of data analytics, business intelligence and professional services to community-based financial services organizations, today announced a professional services partnership with Engage fi, a national consultancy that delivers vendor and technology evaluations as well as project management services to credit unions.
As credit unions need trusted advisors to evaluate and negotiate with providers of financial solutions or services like digital banking and card processing, Trellance will refer organizations to Engage fi. The resulting commercial partnership makes it easier for credit unions to select or work with two industry-leading providers whose services align with the initiatives credit unions are actively pursuing today.
“Credit unions and other financial institutions are increasingly using data-driven insights to run their operations,” shared Trellance Chief Product Officer, Paolo Teotino. “This new partnership with Engage fi brings data initiatives and vendor selection closer together, helping organizations execute faster on many of the enterprise projects that lead to organizational growth and improved member experience. Trellance continues to put actionable insights into the hands of credit unions, and we are excited to partner with Engage fi.”
Under the terms of the new partnership, Trellance adds Engage fi to its growing list of referral, data services and solution extension partners in the Trellance Partner Program. The program, created to provide a network of applications to support credit unions and their digital transformation journey, has more than doubled its participants in the second half of 2020. Today, the partnership ecosystem includes industry-leading organizations and provides a coalition of solutions that enhance the Trellance M360 data analytics platform, increase member value and improve operational efficiencies for community financial institutions.
“Credit union executives are pressed for time but need to continually ensure they are providing the latest services for their members at the right price,” shared Jennifer Addabbo, CEO of Engage fi. “As we work with clients during engagements, they are increasingly looking for a stronger connection between the upfront provider evaluation and the resulting digital technologies they need. The Trellance partnership allows us to work with Trellance customers who are ready to successfully execute new projects as part of their strategic plan.”
As credit unions take data-driven approaches to vendor evaluations and commercial negotiations, they achieve greater results. Mark Zook, CEO of Maps Credit Union and joint Trellance and Engage fi client, adds, “Data wins. And a partnership that combines two credit union organizations who are focused on credit union growth also wins. I’m excited to see the partnership between Trellance and Engage fi produce new benefits.”
