Process as Product: Middleware and Mambu Strengthen Alliance

Categories: Corezoid, Mambu, Middleware

Middleware, maker of the Corezoid Process Engine, and Saas banking engine innovator, Mambu, announced this week that they have strengthened their strategic partnership. The two companies have teamed up develop solutions that will enable banks and lenders to improve client onboarding, loan origination regulatory reporting, and card and payments connectivity.

The centerpiece of the partnership is the Mambu Process Orchestrator (MPO). Based on the Corezoid Process Engine and unveiled last fall, MPO is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) offering that will make it easier for Mambu’s customers to connect multiple APIs together to streamline and better manage business processes.

“Corezoid allows clients to change how they see APIs to thinking in terms of assembling processes in the cloud,” Middleware founder and CEO Alexander Vityaz said. “Partnership with Mambu is part of Middleware’s global growth strategy. They work with clients in over 55 countries, and companies in these countries are now able to start leveraging Corezoid technology for their business through Mambu’s services.”

Mambu CTO Ben Goldin praised Middleware’s “unique vision and patented technology,” and said the enhanced partnership will enable Mambu to build out its cloud banking capabilities and boost adoption of its cloud-native banking engine. He added that Mambu is considering deploying other Middleware solutions such as its Messenger Bot Platform and DeepMemo Rules Engine after the launch of MPO.

Middleware participated in our developers conference FinDEVr Silicon Valley 2015, presenting Build Your Company’s Digital Core with Corezoid, an introduction to the company’s cloud operating system. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, the company’s customers include Western Union, TBC Bank, Tsesna Bank, and METRO.

Founded in 2011, Mambu is a leading global SaaS banking e=platform for digital financial services providers. The company’s technology powers more than 6,000 loan and deposit solutions, serving more than nine million end customers. The company is also an alum of our developers conferences, presenting Smart Consumer Lending: Platform and Scoring Architecture, at FinDEVr New York 2016, in partnership with Lenddo. Mambu also demonstrated its platform at FinovateAsia 2013 in Singapore.

Finovate, FinDEVr Alums Earn AWS Financial Services Competency Status

Finovate, FinDEVr Alums Earn AWS Financial Services Competency Status

Categories: Avoka, Corezoid, FICO, FIS, Infosys, Mambu, Markit, Moven, NICE Systems, wipro

Amazon Web Services has introduced a pair of new competencies as part of its AWS Competencies Program. The program is used by AWS to designate specific industry expertise or “competency” among its network partners. And this week we learned that one of these new competencies, AWS Financial Services, features more than a handful of Finovate/FinDEVr alums.

Earning spots in the Risk Management category of AWS Financial Services Competency Partners were FICO (FD16), FIS-Prophet (F16), and NICE Systems (F15). Four alums—Avoka (F16), Corezoid (F16), Mambu (F13), and Moven (F16)—made up more than half of the companies in the Core Systems category. IHS Markit (FD16) earned a place in the Data Management category along with two other alums, Infosys (F09) and Wipro (F15).

Avoka CMO Don Bergal credited the AWS Cloud for enabling the company to deliver solutions with the speed, security, and regulatory compliance needed to serve “the largest financial institutions worldwide.” Mambu CEO Eugene Danilkis called AWS “the future of agile, cost-effective infrastructure” for both fintech companies and FIs. Speaking for FICO, which made its FinDEVr debut in New York this spring, CTO Stuart Wells said his company will increase the amount of its risk management and compliance technology available via the cloud “powered by AWS.”

The AWS Competency Program is designed to help customers use Amazon Web Services by connecting with the company’s network partners in a variety of fields. For the Financial Services competency, these fields include banking and payments, capital markets, and insurance. Amazon Web Services made the new competency announcements at its re:Invent conference this week.

Corezoid Goes AWS with its Platform-as-a-Service Core Banking Technology

Corezoid Goes AWS with its Platform-as-a-Service Core Banking Technology
By David Penn Posted on
Categories: Corezoid

Corezoid_homepage_June2016

Core banking technology innovator Corezoid announced that its platform-as-a-service process engine will be available via the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. The technology improves bank operations by coordinating API data into processes and then organizing and locating these processes in a single cloud-based platform.  Whether used as a new digital core or as a process layer above current systems, Corezoid enables banks to spend less time and money in development, and more time deploying ready-made mobile banking, e-commerce, compliance, and other solutions.

“There are around 30,000 banks and financial institutions in the world, and they’re all trying to create 30,000 different Internet banks, 30,000 mobile banking apps and so on,” Corezoid CEO Alexander Vityaz said.  “But it’s a lot of unnecessary work. Ninety-nine percent of business operations in banks are the same standard. These operations need to be commoditized and moved to the cloud.”

Pictured: Corezoid CMO and cofounder Sergey Danilenko demonstrating the Corezoid process engine at FinovateSpring 2016 in San Jose.

Developed as a project from the R&D department at PrivatBank, Corezoid’s Process Engine enables companies to build business intelligence, communications, workflow management, and other apps in a matter of days with no hardcoding. The technology serves as a development platform, enabling banks to take advantage of the proliferation of banking and financial APIs without having to spend significant amounts of time and money finding or developing their own local technical talent. “Banks can stop acting as if they are IT companies,” Danilenko said from the Finovate stage this spring.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, Corezoid demonstrated its process engine at FinovateSpring 2016. The company also participated in our developers conference, FinDEVr San Francisco 2015, with a presentation, “Build Your Company’s Digital Core with Corezoid.” Corezoid announced last month that its service would be available in both the U.S. and Western Europe. In February the company’s technology was deployed by Western Union to launch its new online money transfer service in Ukraine.
