BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 7. IT infrastructure
comprises two components: physical infrastructure and software,
with the physical infrastructure nearly finalized, while the
software update is anticipated to require 3-5 years, Acting
Chairman of the Board Isi Mustafayev told Trend.
He observed that the replacement of computers, printers, and
equipment, as well as the renewal of network infrastructure and
other associated physical infrastructure tasks, is approaching
completion. Nonetheless, updating the software within a little
timeframe is unfeasible.
He asserts that software operational for 15 years cannot be
modified within a single year. Internet banking and mobile banking
were formerly integrated into our system.
”We made them separately as modules and disabled this
functionality within the existing system. This year, we will
develop remittances, account opening, and other functions as a
separate module and then disable this functionality within the
existing system,” he emphasized.
Mustafayev emphasized that foreign professionals are
participating in the modernization of IT infrastructure as part of
the transformation project, noting that their primary perspective
favors a micro-modular system over a singular system.
“Therefore, the transition to a micro-modular system is planned
to be implemented within 3-5 years for the next date. This is
because implementing the existing functionality one by one requires
sufficient resources and time to develop a separate module for each
of them. In addition, there are many requirements of the Central
Bank for financial services. To meet these requirements, there must
be integrations and certain improvements in the modules we develop.
In addition, along with new modules, improving existing modules
also takes some time. Developing a module does not mean the end of
the process. There are many other requirements from the Central
Bank, clients, etc., so there is always a need to improve these
modules. This also requires additional time and resources. That is
why these processes take so long,” he concluded.
