VANCOUVER / TORONTO (September 25, 2019): Last night, Slalom, alongside Vancity, was honoured to receive a 2019 Gold Channel Innovation Award for Best Data Management Solution for the digital transformation of Vancity, Canada’s largest community credit union.
The Channel Innovation Awards (CIA) is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of IT solution providers that have developed innovative products and services that help their customers thrive. The Data Management award recognizes a state-of-the-art data management solution that enables end-users to integrate, cleanse, migrate, analyze, and manage data across platforms to produce accurate, consistent information in a clear and precise manner.
