Why partner with Phi for Summit services?

Phi was formed with initial hires of globally recognised Summit experts and we are proud to employ the leading Summit experts in the market. Our consultants are certified under Finastra’s FCA and FCI programmes. When it comes to Summit there is nothing we have not seen and no problem we cannot solve.

We were the first provider to build a nearshore Summit capability and today we provide the most complex of projects and services from nearshore without loss of quality.

We have the latest versions of the Summit software in our delivery centre. Our subject-matter-experts are familiar with the newest features in advance of our clients. And we bring an understanding of application best-practice across both functional and technical lines, born from our unique inside perspective on the most complex Summit installations in the world.

The result? We deliver again and again for our clients who choose to remain with us in the long term.

“Without the support of Phi’s experts, we would never have got Summit into production when we did. Phi’s experts were of a different class and really made the difference. There was no doubt we would select Phi to continue to support us after the go-live. We will continue to work with Phi in the long term”

Phi’s team brought not just extensive Summit expertise and dedication to deliver on time, but also came with innovative ideas and approaches which really made the difference to hitting our milestones. We will not hesitate to work with Phi again.”
