"Calpine's selection of Trintech's Unity XFR demonstrates our commitment to achieving the highest levels of financial transparency and compliance possible," said Glen Vacek, Director of Corporate Reporting. "We chose Unity XFR - and the other components of Trintech's Unity Financial GRC Suite - because of the integrated, modular platform architecture and Trintech's hands-on approach to customer service, training, and support. We are looking forward to a seamless and successful implementation."
