The project was implemented with the local support of 3SC Technologies, Alaric International’s regional partner in the Middle East.
Kuwait Finance House selected Authentic as a replacement integration layer to manage the bank’s entire channel banking payments traffic between its legacy switching system and the back office.
The Authentic platform has been deployed in a virtualised environment with multiple replicated blade servers operating in a fail-safe ‘active-active’ configuration.
Waleed Al-Hasawi, assistant general manager of IT at KFH, said: “The introduction of Authentic has brought us safety and stability where we most needed it without incurring a significant platform cost. Peak performance constraints are no longer a cause for concern. The inherent scalability of the solution and the resilience of the deployment was proven to us during the course of this project.”
