ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Excella, a leading Agile technology and innovation firm, today announced that the company has been awarded a new master services agreement for the IDB Convergence Implementation Services for New Operations Portfolio by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), one of the leading sources of development financing and expertise for Latin America and the Caribbean. This latest contract between the organizations allows Excella to support the modernization of the IDB’s Convergence platform, which facilitates the bank’s loans, grants, and technical cooperation products that provide meaningful support to countries working to reduce poverty and inequality.

Over this three-year contract, Excella will provide impact analysis and effort planning; discovery practices; application development project management; development of cross platform interfaces (APIs, web services); and implementation services.
