Callataÿ & Wouters
and Wincor Nixdorf have announced that they have teamed up to
implement the former’s Thaler software platform for Polish retail
banking group Bank Polskiej Spółdzielczości (BPS).
BPS is the result of a
2002 merger of five Polish banks. Headquartered in Warsaw, it has a
network of about 80 branches serving retail, small- to medium-sized
businesses and corporate clients, with the bulk of its offices
located in Southeastern Poland.
In 2011, BPS decided to
modernize its IT and software infrastructure.
Adam Matyaszek,
vice-president of the board at Wincor Nixdorf Poland,
said:
“BPS came to us with the
challenge of streamlining the bank’s core banking processes,” As a
group of many cooperative banks, BPS’s IT systems had evolved
disparately and organically. They needed a more comprehensive
end-to-end solution that they could later edit themselves, and
offered self-management and reporting modules, among others. We
felt that Callataÿ & Wouters would fit that bill with its
Thaler software.”
Krzysztof Jagielski,
vice-president of the board of BPS, said:

By GlobalData“Out of the options that
were on the table by far Callataÿ & Wouters’ Thaler software
impressed us the most. Key factors in our decision were Thaler’s
flexibility, regulation compliance, proven track record and the
ability to modify the source code to our needs.”
Marc De Groote, CEO of
Callataÿ & Wouters, said: “After our first project in Poland
for direct bank BZGOptima, we’re excited to work for a retail bank
from the same country. Together with Wincor Nixdorf, we are
dedicated to making this another milestone.”
