AvantGard EcoSystem Communication Hub (Echos)

The corporate commercial EcoSystem has often been described as the most inefficient market in the world. This is largely due to a lack of infrastructure for managing communications between corporations and their banks, other corporations, and trading partners.

Treasurers of global companies need a secure, reliable and cost-effective connection to all of their banks that can offer full transparency, without the overhead of managing multiple interfaces.

The AvantGard EcoSystem Communication Hub (Echos) is a service that helps to mitigate challenges related to connectivity by offering an integration and communication layer that interfaces to all in-house applications with the broader external corporate commercial ecosystem for improved corporate <> bank connectivity, corporate <> corporate connectivity, and corporate <> partner communications.
