Temenos work with partners like Microsoft, system integrators, and customers to create solutions together and Bhatia points out that this community approach is crucial for tackling tough problems in banking.
Gupta, who oversees Microsoft’s global ISV ecosystem, backed him up discussing how his team helps software companies grow using the Microsoft platform through innovation, market strategies, and joint selling.
