MDSL, an ITG company and a trusted provider of banking technology solutions across the Middle East, has successfully reached another major milestone with the go-live of XCS Prime, its strategic Card Management platform, at one of Africa’s largest banking institutions.
This accomplishment showcases MDSL’s ability to architect, develop, and deliver enterprise-grade banking platforms through its own expertise and innovation. As one of the company’s most strategic and technically demanding projects in recent years, the successful implementation demonstrates MDSL’s capability to provide highly scalable, resilient, and high-performance solutions for large, complex financial institutions.
The XCS Prime platform currently delivers enterprise-scale performance by:
- Management of a portfolio of tens of millions of payment cards
- Processing 350 transactions per second (TPS), with successful scalability testing up to 1,000+ TPS
- Processing millions of transactions every day
- Supporting seamless integration with multiple banking channels and APIs operating concurrently
- Enabling thousands of concurrent GUI users
- Supporting operations across hundreds of bank branches
Delivering a platform of this scale required a robust architecture, extensive performance and scalability testing, meticulous planning, and close collaboration across multiple teams. Through these combined efforts, MDSL ensured a smooth migration, seamless production rollout, stable system performance, and uninterrupted business continuity within a mission-critical banking environment.
This milestone reflects the dedication, expertise, and commitment of everyone involved. From onsite implementation teams to remote engineering and support teams working around the clock, every contributor played a vital role in overcoming challenges, maintaining system stability, and ensuring a successful production launch. Beyond its technical significance, this implementation further strengthens MDSL’s position as a trusted technology partner for financial institutions, delivering innovative banking solutions that accelerate digital transformation, enhance operational efficiency, and equip organizations to meet the evolving demands of the payments industry.
Congratulations to the entire MDSL team on this outstanding achievement and on reaching another significant milestone in banking technology excellence.
