 Most software delivery teams have a mixed environment. They have tools from ISVs, open source community and in-house developed tools. The tools are based on different platforms and have their own way of storing data and communicating. The goal is to share lifecycle assets amongst these tools.

 Brian Burt, Head of Services for the BFSI market, commented: “For the past 5 years, we have invested in our solution, enriching it with new functionality which demonstrates our unique understanding of the specific requirements of the TEMENOS T24™ and banking business in particular. With the latest accelerated implementation methodology based on pre-packaged best practices, we are confident we are in the right position to pave the road for further success.”
