Modernize the Acquirer Network, Leaving the Clutter Behind

The Challenge

Following a recent modernization of their Payments Network, our client needed to modernize their Acquirer systems with the same success and quality. Our client had maintained and improved their Acquirer Network and associated systems on the mainframe and proprietary server systems for decades. Coupled with a recent change in data sovereignty requirements, leaders for this effort recognized the need for additional governance and management to ensure a successful modernization as well as the acceleration of the components required to accommodate the regulatory requirements changes.
