Doha’s QNB Group has announced it has digitalised its banking operations and implemented a more efficient omni channel solution in partnership with IBM and its ecosystem partner, Mannai InfoTech.
According to the bank, the project involved a hybrid cloud approach and was introduced to deliver a more seamless digital banking experience for QNB’s customers. IBM implemented a microservices architecture using IBM’s Cloud Pak for Integration which is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift. This platform provides a single, unified experience that connect applications and data across any cloud. Each layer of the technology stack was re-designed and modernised to support this vision, improved productivity and resiliency, the company said.
As part of the deal, integration architects from IBM Consulting guided the installation and configuration of IBM App Connect Enterprise, assisting with the deployment and testing of the infrastructure.
“This project is a significant milestone in our long-standing relationship with QNB, as we assist the Group in its journey to implement its cloud roadmap from the get-go. We are delighted to to be able to support QNB to update and streamline its operations and increase efficiencies,” said Wissam Shmait, Country Manager and Technology leader at IBM Qatar.
Maryam Mohd Al-Kuwari, Senior Executive Vice President – Group Information Technology, QNB added: “Major financial institutions need to adopt an unparalleled mindset to expand their digital footprint, to align with the challenges and changes in the marketplace. At QNB, we engage with our trusted partners, such as IBM to leverage innovation and build smarter industry solutions. Having a cloud-native solution will significantly enhance our infrastructure and improve business productivity.”
