Challenge
Large enterprises often grapple with the complexity of managing multiple banking relationships, each with unique protocols, security requirements, and data formats. This fragmentation results in inefficiencies in financial operations, data consolidation, and reporting.
The challenging demand of real time data. Businesses require instant access to financial information to make informed decisions, but many banks still rely on batch processes that delay critical updates. Access to financial data over weekends and public holidays presents an additional challenge.
