2013. Overall, 2013 was not plentiful for the vendor in terms of new business. There was, however, a new taker of Olympic in Luxembourg, Natixis Bank. The bank, which specialises in wealth management and has equity capital of €815 million, took ERI’s system to replace Misys’ Midas, which has been used across the Natixis group for many years. Avaloq and Temenos also featured on the RFP list. There was also a deal in London, with CBH Europe Limited, a newly opened subsidiary of a Swiss private bank, Compagnie Bancaire Helvétique (CBH, ERI’s existing customer). It was signed in May 2013. Nonetheless, Noriba Bank has remained ERI’s only Islamic banking client to date and, unfortunately for the supplier, its activities were brought back into the core of UBS which meant ERI lost its only live site for Shari’ah banking. However, the system looks to provide fairly extensive support, so is worthy of consideration for private banking in this domain. It continues to target the Middle East, among other regions (working here with local partner Ejada and with a direct presence touted from time to time), and it has undertaken a Shari’ah banking accreditation study with IBS’s consulting division (a white paper setting out the Shari’ah support of Olympic is available from
its website).
in June 2014, was wholly retail in nature. This was the Ivory Coast post office, La Poste de Cote d’Ivoire. 2015 saw ERI bringing two clients on board, AXYS Bank based in Mauritius and Banca Consulia based in Italy. In 2016, ERI signed a deal with Canada’s Cidel Bank & Trust to implement the Olympic core banking system. 2017 saw ERI sign on Burundian Bank for Trade and Investment in Burundi and Warwyck Private Bank in Mauritius. However there have been no islamic module deals.
ERI has also been working on adding several new modules to the Olympic Banking System which are expected to be delivered in the next couple of years. One of those module is based on Advisory services. The vendor claims this module has been designed specifically t to offer a solution to organisations who are just offering advisory services. The initial roll-out of this module is due to be available in Q4 2017. In 2017, Eri has collaborated with Riskifier for a proof of concept to integrate Riskifier’s investor risk profiling solution within the OLYMPIC Banking System through an API.
