Banking software provider, DPR, has announced its latest technical partnership with Six Degrees as it continues to expand its Microsoft Azure integration.
The new partnership adds additional strength to DPR’s existing Azure hosting and managed services. It uses Six Degrees’ cloud pedigree, security capabilities and track record in working with the financial services sector to provide DPR clients with performance, agility, security and cost benefits across the DPR applications.
DPR said it is committed to improving client experience and ensuring its clients remain at the forefront of the banking sector. The group claims it has invested heavily in developing its technologies and expanding its Azure offering, including becoming a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), to deliver Origination and Servicing of Mortgages, Savings and Loans as a fully managed service.
DPR Client Infrastructure and Services Director, Richard Marsh said: “The market demand for Cloud hosting has changed significantly in the last two years. Speed of deployment, security, and converged service demand is increasing. We need multiple partners to meet our customers’ objectives and deliver on time; our latest project has demonstrated our Cloud hosting abilities.”
Richard said that as DPR becomes a key hosting partner it was vital to extend its technology base into the Microsoft Azure technology stack and use the true benefits of cloud.
“We are re-architecting our product suite towards cloud-native applications and strengthening our security and service stance. Six Degrees brings a ‘best of breed’ approach with an excellent depth of Microsoft-focused engineering skills and services to compliment the DPR hosting services, and we are delighted to have them as a partner”, he said.
UK Financial Institutions such as Redwood Bank, The Cambridge Building Society and Castle Trust Bank are already taking advantage of DPR’s cloud computing services within Azure.
Six Degrees CEO David Howson said: “Six Degrees is trusted by a number of leading software providers to deliver the secure cloud foundations that support the delivery of their software in a secure, high performance and always-on manner. We are proud to partner with DPR, an innovative and trusted provider to the finance sector, and we believe we are the perfect partner to ensure the continuing success of the DPR proposition in the UK.”
