Lloyds and IBM17 May 2017 08:02
FINKit is about a set of microservices banks do not understand in full or at all? they need, not yet. No vision anywhere to built on infrastructure and service to strengthen customer relationship and service different from origin bank business and experience.
We read about the first wave of FINkit Partner that gives some hope, though. Keep fingers crossed that materializes somehow some day.
Lloyds is ready to implement API's on a private cloud and outsourcing thousands of employees. Unfortunately and disappointing to see Lloyds just cannot mention and confirm Monitise because that simply and most likely is not the case.
Monitise on the other hand cannot and does not report any successful story either.
To quote IBM: IBM Bluemix Private Cloud
Experience the agility of a public environment with the security and performance of a private environment, powered by OpenStack and managed by IBM.
Monitise themselves have moved to the private cloud run managed by IBM and VMware.
Sitting on a good loss I simply keep waiting.
