Espen Vindegg, partner integration manager at Knowit, added: “Our role as Bottomline’s integration partner in the Nordics will allow us to provide our customers with seamless integration of Bottomline’s solutions and services.
“This combination provides our customers with the best of both worlds – global capabilities and local understanding.”
