platform that goes wrong nearly every night’, he claimed, so the bank had to pour a lot of resources into stabilising it and incurred additional costs in staff and management overtime. ‘It wants this major headache to go away quickly, within a year.’ At the front- end, LAPS was to be interfaced to the S1 payments system, which, to Davies’ knowledge, there were no plans to replace. LAPS would also interface to the bank’s core system, Profile from FIS. There were no obvious announcements of progress during 2013 with what was now CGI’s All Payments Solution. However, in mid-year there was a tie-up with Royal Bank of Scotland related to SEPA. This was for CGI to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for migrating RBS business customers. The service was intended to ensure that all payments and collections would be converted into SEPA formats. It was labelled as a SEPA Fallback Service and was offered alongside UK company, PowertoPay. In April 2017, Payments Canada invited three suppliers i.e. CGI, SIA and VocaLink to participate in a competitive procurement process for its new core clearing and settlement system, called Lynx.
