London, UK, 1st March 2017 – Microcred Group, the provider of financial inclusion solutions to clients in Africa and China, and Validata Group, the leader in Continuous Testing and Release Automation, today announced that they have signed an agreement in which Validata Group will provide to Microcred its flagship Validata Quality Suite and Validata ABC for Continuous Testing and Continuous Delivery of Temenos T24.
Microcred is evolving from a pure micro-finance provider to leading provider of financial services in emerging markets, and in 2016 decided to deploy a central system for all Microcred operations as part of its geographical expansion strategy by 2020. Validata technologies were selected to assist in the planned upgrade of the Temenos T24 across 9 sites which are currently running on R10 and R12, with the whole project being run from Dakar, Senegal.
Validata’s Quality Suite for Continuous Testing can help connect testing with development and operations, and automate the design, development, quality assurance and deployment of new applications and systems, achieving automation levels of over 90%.
Validata enables Temenos T24 clients through their transformation projects, by implementing end-to-end DevOps practices that address complex parallel and distributed development environments while accelerating development processes and improving asset reuse. It speeds the overall application delivery process and will enable Microcred to plan, orchestrate and automate application releases with complete visibility ensuring application performance. The use of Validata technologies will result in achieving 10 times more productivity and faster –time to market, while securing at the same time operational efficiencies and ultimate customer experience.
