Digital transformation has caused
a significant shift in culture, but
Benderlioglu asserts that this has only
strengthened Al Khaliji’s relationship
with its vendors. “Al Khaliji seeks a long
term partnership with its vendors,”
he says. “We are diligent in finding the
right solution for us and our customers.
We have our solutions customised for
us, and seek to fully understand and
build upon each tailored solution.
One excellent example is Temenos,a company that is right for Al Khaliji
because it consistently develops its
solutions with agility.” He notes that
a long-term key partner is VEDAS, as
it supports Al Khaliji in the payments
sector. “It can be more of a challenge
to engage and maintain new technologies
when attention is primarily focused on
the day to day running of the bank, but
VEDAS brings us the latest innovations
and informs us of new technological
advancements across the world.”—
Saltuk Benderlioglu,
Head of Information and
Communication Technology“ To be the ‘next
generation bank’
is to be a step ahead
of where we are
in the financial
services market in
which we operate.
This means remaining
technologically
advanced”134
