IBS Journal, 22nd February 2011: FRSGlobal gains new taker for Regpro regulatory solution
The supplier's strong position and reputation in the market, and its understanding of the BCGE group structure and 'specificities of bank management' were key selection criteria. Also, the proposed solution had to meet the bank's technical and functional specifications (e.g. scalability) as well as the allocated budget. BCGEF is a new-name win for FRSGlobal.
