I think it ’ s very important to establish a good relationship with a strategic partner because they are experts in their field and are helping your company to be successful .” Over the years Moneyfarm has worked with several key partners including Natterbox for its communication system , AWS for its cloud services and solutions , Auth0 for its identity management and Tableau .

Other technologies Blanco sees Moneyfarm consider in the future include , Blockchain technology , “ there are a lot of things we can do with Blockchain in order to make sure that the data we use can ’ t be tampered with , currently we are having discussion as to the best use cases for it .”
