Welcome to the Temenos Connect Internet Banking Introduction course.

R14
 This course provides an overview about TCIB.

R14
 The learning objective of this course is to provide basic knowledge of TCIB and it’s
advantages. It also throws some light on the edgeConnect IDE platform using which the
TCIB product is developed.

 Temenos Connect Products

R14
 • Temenos Connect are the new suite of products, launched as a result of Temenos’
acquisition of edgeIPK completed on 1st October 2012.
• The expectation of rich user experience in web applications has been a sharp rise and
users are being stated and getting used to sites with rich user experience (UX) and
strong design.
• The Temenos Connect Product suite consists of Temenos Connect Internet Banking,
Temenos Connect Onboarding, Temenos Connect Mobile.

 Introduction to edgeConnect IDE

R14
 • edgeConnect is a developer toolkit (IDE) for building and deploying web
applications that integrate with external back-end systems.
• The edgeConnect runtime system provides sophisticated capabilities to support
the web applications built using the edgeConnect IDE without writing any code.
• edgeConnect develops and deploys multi-channel applications in a fraction of
time and cost, associated with traditional methods.
• Temenos Connect is a new suite of front office products that are built using the
edgeConnect development and runtime environments.

R14 7
 • edgeConnect Banking Solution supports multiple channels, products, users, and
geographies which can then be accessed via multiple device types.

R14 8
 Here we review what makes up an edgeConnect form and how it interacts with both the
end user and with backend systems.
1. We separate the “user experience and business processes” from the “back-end
systems”
2. Let’s consider three types of user:
a) the public customer of an internet bank;
b) a bank clerk inside the bank;
c) another user with a different screen size or other significant differences in the
device they are using.
3. The back-end system may be a database, a web service, a file, a connection via an API
or indeed any other system with a defined integration mechanism.
4. An edgeConnect form controls the interaction between these two “sides”.
5. There are three major parts within the form: the Presentation; the Process; and the
Integration.
6. The ‘Presentation’ contains all the layout information, reference to image files, and
the use of styles. In our example, this contains the screen layout for a public customer.
7. The Process contains phases that represent the basic content of what you see on the
screen but with no layout or styles applied.
8. Underlying these three parts is the Data Store. This holds all the data pertaining to a
user session. It consists of individual data items and groups of data items.
9. The integration mappings contain the description of how to access the back-end
system.
Note that all processes and their presentations share the same data store and mappings.

 Constraints in ARC IB

R14
 • Temenos Connect Internet Banking (TCIB) is the new name for the Temenos Internet
Banking solution being developed using edgeConnect.
• The TCIB Model Solutions currently exist in the following flavours: Retail, Corporate,
Wealth and a hybrid Wealth application which supports TAP alongside T24.
• TCIB provides best in class design incorporating usability, accessibility and security
based on modern web technologies to match today’s expectations of a rich UX and
deliver up to date presentation layer functionality. .
• In TCIB, It is possible to change the entire UI without interfering with the processes
built in edgeConnect so that various devices can be targeted without redeveloping
the logic.

R14 11
 TCIB provides all the current onscreen functionality present in R13 Model Bank ARC IB
and in addition include the following:
• Multi-lingual switching: allows the selection of multiple languages that the
application can display which not only allows for language replacement but also re-
order the page layout from left to right to right to left.
• Multi-Brand display: which can switch between multiple brands styles, changing color
palette, images and page layout, often used for accessibility to change screens to
cater for color blindness, cognitive disorders etc.
• The use of highly optimized widgets to build the design.
• The use of edgeConnect’s powerful rules engine to provide presentation layer
intelligence for inline validation to provide smart follow on questions.
• The edgeConnect tool has it’s own embedded security process that safeguard the
interface at the application level that are OWASP (Open Web Application Security
Project) compliant.

R14 12
 TCIB web application is developed in edgeConnect which in turn contains the integration
logic to connect with T24 via web service.

R14 13
 • For simplicity, the diagram above does not show any horizontal scaling for fault-
tolerance or scalability. However the Authentication Server and T24 allows very large
fault tolerant systems to be configured.
• All business logic resides in T24 –no business logic and no business data are stored in
the Web Server level.
• The edgeConnect IDE deals with the presentation and manages the session and
process within. The client side validation are taken care by rules.
