"We are making a significant investment in our Customer Excellence Center to enable customers to experience our best-in-class solutions running in a fully integrated environment. This exciting initiative demonstrates our commitment to helping customers make the best decisions for their businesses during these challenging times," said Mark Van Gorp, BBH vice president of business development and marketing.
