AmazonWeb Services (AWS) has joined with cloud banking software provider Temenos for an extended partnership, which will reportedly allow banks to process 100,000 transactions a second.
The multi-year agreement will see the full suite of Temenos’s banking solutions offered as part of AWS on an as-a-service basis.
Founded in 1993, the Swiss headquartered company’s solutions are used by both retail and commercial banks.
What does this offer users?
Temenos says the partnership makes use of regional AWS Availability Zones (AZ) to provide high availability within a single region, avoiding data sovereignty issues or the need to purchase additional infrastructure.
In addition, Temenos says its digital banking platform can scale to meet growing customer demands and enables banks to lower their total cost of ownership by reducing infrastructure management and enabling automated deployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.
Temenos also claimed its solutions help banks reduce their carbon footprint and support them in achieving their ESG goals compared to on-premises deployments.
Cloud computing is seeing widespread adoption within the banking industry.
