Banking & Financial Switching

Erlang was used to build a banking and financial switching system that required integrated functionality across all systems, high availability, scalability, reliability, and fast development times. The system provided a fully integrated solution using Erlang OTP that allowed for parameterized and expandable functionality. It provided advantages like activity-based costing and improved transaction performance over previous implementations. Current developments included pursuing certification and preparing the system for deployment at client sites.
