Engagement

For a payments platform owner whose hub is still on-prem, or still a single box, and who already has a cloud programme elsewhere.

24/7 instant plus high-value plus cross-border on one leftover hub is the constraint. Five to six weeks. One named first slice. AED 600,000–850,000 fixed.

Scope

When This Is The Right Next Step

Choose Aani if you are already connected and the bank-side path is the issue. Choose multi-rail if rail priority is still open. This pack is the hub first-slice — only after that path is named.

We will not start until the first slice is named in the agreement.

Path

Pick One Path

Named in the agreement.

Aani send/receive adapter in front of the existing hub
ISO 20022 translation and status plane for the named rail
24/7 heartbeat and ops plane for the named instant rail

Named platform owner

Fence

If a sentence sounds like we migrate the hub, cut over production, or replace the SI, it is out.

Sequence

Choose Aani if you are already connected and the bank-side path is still thin. Multi-rail if several rails are landing on one hub. Hub architecture only after the rail path is named.

Questions

FAQ

Just Move The Hub To The Private Cloud.

That is a multi-year SI. This offer is the blueprint and one slice.

Will You Replace TCS / ProgressSoft?

No. The pack is what you hand them.
