Temenos worked closely with Banco Ripley to deliver a remote implementation in the public cloud, providing expert support and consultation to ensure a smooth install and successful go live for the bank despite the national state of emergency. The implementation of Temenos Transact involved the integration of Banco Ripley’s 40 legacy systems and was concluded after 9,000 functional tests had been carried out on the new system. Temenos’ global partner, ITSS, supported the project.
