About this episode
This week we are discussing orchestration with Oliver Rajic - Chief Growth Officer at PPRO which is most well-known for enabling businesses to easily accept alternative payments methods across the globe. The acquisition of Alpha Fintech in 2022 where Oliver was CEO, strengthens PPRO’s position as both a global payments technology leader and trusted infrastructure partner to PSPs, banks and corporates. In our conversation we deep dive into the various orchestration concepts and start off with a helpful definition of the difference between payment, service and product orchestration.
