This partnership aligns itself to HCL’s strategy of strengthening and aggregating its offerings around business transaction platforms.

The combination of HCL and Cforia will be a winning situation for all parties involved. Cforia gains unprecedented access to the world’s largest companies at the highest levels. HCL will be providing unparalleled levels of outsourcing service to their client companies. Their clients will realize the power of automation plus labor arbitrage to drive incremental improvements in key Accounts Receivable metrics that represent much more value than differences in wages. And their client’s customers win because the collaborative nature of the platform assures that customers receive an industry leading level of service,” said Brad Wentzel, Cforia Business Development Director.
