Misys, the global application software and services company today announced the strategic partnership with Seven Seas Technologies to enhance the speed for implementation and delivery of services to customers in East Africa.

The partnership comes in the wake of major developments in the ICT sector in  Kenya with an increase in mobile phone and Internet penetration, and increased awareness and access to software products.

Seven Seas Technologies (SST) will provide localised features, integration support, project management and implementation services around Misys solutions, with a focus on Universal Banking, in the region.

It is expected that the combined strength of the two companies will lead to faster implementations, a broader set of resources available for customers backed up by a skilled team of professional services people with local domain knowledge and expertise.

Speaking on the occasion Mike Macharia, CEO, Seven Seas Technologies, said, “The exponential growth of the banking industry in Kenya had come with its unique challenges and that banks had to apply cutting-edge technology and software solutions to remain relevant. At SST have recognized the opportunity for transformational IT to play a major role in marking out the leaders from the also-runs in the financial services industry, and we have put together a strong and comprehensive service offering which will support financial institutions to be more efficient.”

This new partnership will extend SST’s service and product portfolio to enable the company to provide solutions to cover other important areas such as electronic channels, call centers, business intelligence, and application process integration.
