According to IBM, the long-term collaboration will focus on modernising the Egyptian bank’s business processes and overall customer experience, allowing it to offer better reliability, security, and speed to clients. 

By utilising artificial intelligence (AI) software with IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation built on Red Hat OpenShift, FABMisr is said to have unlocked seamless integration and AI-driven automation capabilities that expedite digital transformation.

Besides, the integration capabilities of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration on Red Hat OpenShift have equipped FABMisr with the key tools to connect its enterprise applications rapidly.  

This has allowed the Egyptian bank to easily develop, implement, and manage application programming interfaces (APIs) along with ensuring secure API traffic and adopting an architecture based on events. 

IBM Egypt general manager and technology leader Marwa Abbas said: “With the ever-changing needs of clients, enterprises need to remodel their operational workflows to accommodate such demands.
