Iraq’s Ashur Bank partners with Nutanix to deploy cloud-native apps

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Ashur International Bank in Iraq has teamed up with RedHat and Nutanix to scale the deployment of innovative cloud-native applications. The Iraqi bank also wants to drastically reduce operating costs and speed up the digitization of all procedures, including robo-advisors, work flow automation, 24/7 self-service, and AI-powered apps like voice biometrics and smart payments.

“When you talk private cloud, there’s really only one company you should partner with. Nutanix is simply brilliant and with incredibly strong references from our peers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan for not just their technology, but the associated local expertise and support we knew they were the right choice,” said Bashar Al-Otaibi, Head of Digital Transformation at Ashur International Bank.

“At Ashur International Bank, we aren’t just creating impactful new digital services for our customers, we are actively setting new benchmarks for the BFSI segment in Iraq,” Al-Otaibi added.
