Implementation and architecture

  • Azure SQL Database Hyperscale provides the system-of-record data platform.
  • Azure Kubernetes Service runs containerised platform services.
  • Microsoft Fabric consolidation remains a future plan.

Known unknowns and contradictions

  • The exact Temenos Core go-live date.
  • The predecessor database engine.
  • The customer-by-customer migration inventory.
  • Completion timing for the Loan Management System.

No missing fact is inferred to broaden the source-supported migration claim.

PlatformTrace analysis

The record is bounded to Temenos Core and the first 50-plus customer environments. The Loan Management System, 600 planned migrations and future Fabric consolidation remain incomplete.

Performance, cost, uptime and operational outcomes remain attributed source claims unless independently stated otherwise.
