BankProv Expedites Digital Transformation During Covid-19

This Microsoft Teams Plan and Deploy Case Study highlights how Ovatio Technologies enabled BankProv to expedite their digital transformation by rapidly deploying Microsoft Teams.

"Without Ovatio Technologies' help, BankProv would not have been able to conduct business and communicate efficiently during the COVID-19 crisis. They went above and beyond to ensure the switch to Teams was seamless for both our employees and customers. In all the years we have been working with outside vendors, we have never had such a smooth experience."
