The Bank needs several people to provide any given functionality, at the same time because of finite number of tasks in a separate system bank employees may be under-utilized eventually. There is a need to think up tasks for them, necessity to stimulate and motivate them. Foranx, as an outsourcing company always has more Temenos T24 system releases on maintenance, more employees for each specific banking specialization, which are always have a lot of work.
Foranx certified employees have disparate higher level of competence in Temenos T24 functionality as compared with regular employees and as a result Foranx will more effectively manage resources for the performance of specific tasks. Because the bank pays only for the part of the work that Foranx has done on the specific task, so it is one of the savings elements for the bank in outsourcing.

Usually banks conclude agreements on execution of IT project works that may involve confidential information, in such cases, special Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is concluded. NDA describes all bank's requirements for information protection to be provided by Foranx and defines the responsibility level for their non-compliance. Foranx has full range of technical means for privacy keeping , as well as, information access restriction rules for employees developed.
Important part of transfer of development, implementation or support of IT-process for outsourcing is to assure required quality of the results provided by vendor.
