Hi! Thanks for the question.
I shall provide snippets to the articles or case studies I found so as
to describe the partnership and to save you time, but I highly
recommend that you read them in their entirety to get a better
understanding. Some of the articles are in PDF file format so you
would need the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don’t have it yet, you can
