With this partnership, Phoenix Technology’s expertise in the finance sector and Global 360’s award-winning BPM technology will offer customers the ability to make business-critical processes, including business process outsourcing, pension administration and claims management, more competitive and compliant.

Ireland-based Phoenix Technology Group serves many of Europe’s most well-known financial institutions, including AXA, Winterthur Life and Royal & SunAlliance, as well as Ecclesiastical Insurance. Responding to strong customer demand for enterprise-class business process optimization, Phoenix Technology recognized Global 360 as a premier developer of BPM technology in the market.

“Global 360’s focus on business process optimization will offer our current and future customers an exceptional BPM product,” said Cormac McCarthy, managing director at Phoenix Technology Group. “Global 360 technology can leverage customers’ existing legacy systems and provide a seamless transition to BPM and file management capabilities.”
