We can help. A Temenos core banking system health check from Luxoft de-risks and accelerates digital transformation, pinpointing issues and remedies before getting you back on track, as good as new.
Banking is becoming more challenging by the minute. Banks are under constant internal and external pressure to improve performance. Escalating data and transaction volumes, shrinking margins and nonstop market upsets, plus an endless stream of revised compliance and strict regulatory requirements, are inflating cost pressures. To cap it all, users expect core processes to run at full speed all day without interruption.
Downtime is an operational curse, particularly in the banking industry. Persistent, unforeseen outages punch holes in revenue, market share and consumer confidence while opening up the bank to stringent regulatory fines. Financial institutions cannot afford to rupture the smooth running of their businesses. That’s why the Temenos core banking system audit has become a critical factor in performance and maintenance.
Core banking systems coalesce with countless other systems and processes in an intricate relationship that costs a high percentage of the annual IT budget to manage. A core banking system health check uncovers weaknesses in the architecture, revealing practical ways to minimize risk, strengthen resilience and improve operational efficiency.
Integrating a series of new products, services or functions? Running a core banking system audit would confirm whether or not everything is operating as it should. And adopting Temenos’ fully hosted solution would give you a faster time-to-market as well as a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
Temenos core banking system software enables traditional banks and pure-play market disruptors to enhance their ability to compete. Luxoft’s extensive cloud hosting, implementation and integration strengths help financial institutions adapt business models, adopting modern, fully hosted core banking system technology to stay ahead of the competition. Luxoft and Temenos put organizations in a better position to deliver differentiated products while accelerating customer attraction and retention via cloud-native technology. In fact, over 3,000 banks (41 of the top 50) and more than 1.2 billion customers worldwide rely on Temenos core banking system software.
Our goal is to diagnose implementation concerns and fixes for the following:
Architecture: Assess the enterprise and Temenos Transact (T24) application design to spot problems, enhancing performance and stability.
Temenos Transact (T24) integration: Check the integration framework and analyze potential blockers. Increase efficiency and improve integration capabilities, giving examples of performance improvements.
Infrastructure: Identify negative factors, including network, storage and databases, and review middleware and integration solutions, network, storage arrangement, etc.
Temenos Transact (T24) local development: Appraise the Temenos Transact (T24) technical setup, assessing local code (L3 actions), close of business (COB) jobs, check against Temenos best practices in local development, dependencies and so on, in terms of performance and stability.
However, digital transformation is not just a matter for the bank’s IT team alone. For core banking system analysis and modernization to provide meaningful results, we must reach a consensus between the internal technical and business teams. Luxoft interviews appropriate influencers and decision-makers, using the information to design and deliver workshops, plus architecture and system integration review sessions. Here’s a six-part breakdown of our information-gathering program:
Our approach provides a 360-degree view of the current environment and operational issues. A typical health check team requires varying degrees of involvement from the following:
Health check outcomes highlight operational constraints, bottlenecks and adverse events together with considered fixes and a findings and recommendations report. Audit scope:
Once the Temenos core banking system health check report has been shared and agreed, our next steps will be to ensure team readiness for deploying the recommendations, resolving the most pressing issues first as signposted on our road map. Luxoft works with you, post-implementation, to measure results and business impact via an in-depth review process.
