strength to go the distance on the transformation journey . Partnering with Japanese tech giant Fujitsu , the company has brought a breadth of capabilities to the business . Most importantly , it has not only supported , but steered the development of its core banking platforms .
McGlynn adds : “ Fujitsu supplies the engine that drives our core banking services . The platform is reliable – quite simply , it is always on - and its performance is of the highest quality . Six Sigma performance measures are just expected when dealing with millions of customer transactions .
“ We have enjoyed a 30-year long relationship with Fujitsu , so we know that works but we have been impressed by the way that Fujitsu has embraced our EBO values and worked to further strengthen the partnership . Fujitsu treat us as a valued customer and work hard to understand what we are about , to build relationships and to bring us new ideas .
“ Fujitsu don ’ t rest on their laurels . They ’ re evolving their current service so that it can be more cloudbased and open . We put a lot of emphasis with them to make sure services are fast , secure and resilient . And that ’ s what they do , and they ’ re good at it .
“ Relationships , and a sharing of values runs deep between the two companies . Virgin Money and Fujitsu are working towards shared apprenticeship schemes that help school leavers enter the workplace ,” he continues .
