13 February 2020

Endava is once again the recipient of the ANIS Outsourcing Project of the Year award, presented at the annual gala held in Bucharest on February 12^th, 2020.

Founded in 1998, ANIS is an important Romanian IT association, representing the interests of companies operating in the country and supporting the development of the industry. The ANIS Gala started in January 2015 as a celebration of the most important accomplishments in the previous year.

The Project of the Year award was presented to Endava for the Merchant Acquiring Platform built with Pollinate, which is reinventing merchant acquiring for Banks and Small and Medium Enterprises.

''We were determined to create a cutting-edge, bank-grade digital solution so banks can reimagine acquiring and value-added services for SMEs. We chose Endava as our development partner because they were a match for our payments expertise and could scale to meet our ambitious deadline of having the platform live in 12 months'' said Tim Joslyn, Co-Founder and CTO of Pollinate.

The Pollinate platform is built on Azure and uses the latest data and AI offerings. Merchant onboarding takes 24 hours and provides bespoke reconciliation, analytics, loyalty scheme and real-time intent tools and is open-banking ready, GDPR compliant and secure.

'We are very proud to have won the Project of the Year award for the second consecutive year. We have great respect for the work that ANIS do in Romania to continue to develop the IT industry, and that they continue to recognise Endava and the high-quality platforms and solutions we produce for our clients. We are particularly proud to have won this award for the collaboration between ourselves and Pollinate, and we would like to thank the Pollinate team for selecting us as their delivery partner of choice.'' said John Cotterell, CEO, Endava.
