1. Strategic Advantage: Providing clients with access to the people, resources and capabilities necessary to help achieve growth and achieve competitive advantage.
Dr. Burkhard Schäpers, Head of Investment Banking IT Portigon Financial Services, comments, "Our involvement in user groups is helping us to drive a stronger collaboration between Misys and its clients, our industry peers.

"The Misys Service Delivery Centre provided the best resource possible to help ensure our project success," states Pitkänen Tarja, Vice President, Pohjola Bank, on one of the programmes within this category. "We worked together as one team and this helped us achieve an effective solution delivery."
4. Proactive Support: Providing the fast, effective, interactive support essential to the ongoing success of each client's business and to its future growth.

"The customer experience is entwined tightly with the organisation and its employees. Appropriate alignment, understanding, empowerment and motivation are company prerequisites for customer engagement to be positive," states Ed Thompson, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner in the October 3, 2013 report, Understanding How Customer Engagement Drives a Positive Customer Experience. He further recommends, "Deliver the experience. Today's IT skills and technologies are only part of what you need to deliver a satisfying customer experience. This must be an integrated enterprise effort encompassing an ensemble of diverse organisational elements."

"The resulting strong and long-term partnership Misys Connect generates ensures we continue to support our customers as they grow and adapt to changing market demands. We look forward to more clients joining Misys Connect and gaining more value from a deeper relationship with us."
