Challenges

Ansarada designs and builds data rooms exclusively for mergers and acquisitions. Their SaaS platform serves as a trusted solution relied upon by companies, advisors, and governments spanning over 180 countries. These entities utilize the platform for securely managing critical information, workflow, and collaboration in high-stakes processes like deals, risk, compliance, board governance, and procurement. 

As Ansarada experienced rapid growth, expanding their operations necessitated the establishment of additional talent pools and product teams, augmenting those already based in Sydney. The company sought not merely to outsource development work but to cultivate a cohesive product team deeply integrated into their organizational fabric. However, they lacked the scale and expertise to achieve this independently. 

Approach

In pursuit of a partner aligned with their vision and capable of facilitating swift progress, Ansarada conducted a global search and received recommendations that led them to the CBTW APAC team. Following initial discussions and proposal exchanges, Ansarada representatives visited Vietnam to assess operations firsthand and finalize arrangements. Subsequently, they commenced collaboration with CBTW APAC through a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Partnership. 

Within the first year, CBTW APAC successfully established a software development center starting off with 20 professionals whose contributions significantly enhanced Ansarada’s product features and offerings. 

Client’s Quote

“Our Vietnam team is innovative, thinks big, gets a huge amount of work done and has fun along the way. They are a true blessing to Ansarada and all the customers we serve. We love them and are thankful to CBTW APAC for helping us every step of the way to achieve this wonderful result.”

Sam Riley, CEO @ Ansarada

For the past decade, fintechs scaled fast by renting capability - cloud infrastructure, engineering talent, and core systems. It worked. Until it didn’t. The regulatory environment of 2026 has fundamentally closed that window. With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) now in full force and the EU AI Act raising the bar on AI transparency, the "our vendor handles that" defense is no longer viable. Regulators don't accept it. Auditors don't accept it. And increasingly, your board shouldn't either.
