QualityKiosk Technologies has won a major contract in the Middle East, as the Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) confirmed it will make the California-based testing solution provider its exclusive testing partner for all of its digital infrastructure.
As part of the deal QualityKiosk will develop a Testing Centre of Excellence (TCoE) for what is considered Dubai’s largest financial institution.
The project should be seen as “an extensive digital transformation initiative aimed at modernizing the bank’s technology ecosystem,” the company told QA Financial.
Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed but CBD, which was founded in 1969, is one of the oldest and largest banks in the United Arab Emirates.
“This strategic alliance includes enabling predictive risk minimization, delivering quality engineering efficiencies, and enhancing productivity, all aligned with CBD’s overarching objective of enabling advanced digital banking services,” Maneesh Jhawar, founder and chief executive officer of QualityKiosk Technologies, explained in a statement.
“With strong reliability engineering principles in place, we will soon become a state-of-the-art, AI-first TCoE,” he added.
Ali Imran, the chief operating officer of Commercial Bank of Dubai, said in agreement that “our partnership with QK is instrumental in realizing our vision of advancing tech-forward and customer-centric banking. I am confident that working with QualityKiosk will expedite the realization of our goals,” he added.
The exclusive partnership builds on a year of successful collaboration between CBD and QK.
Together, they established CBD’s initial TCoE with industry-best processes and systems, automated 300,000 test executions, centralized 150,000 test cases, and virtualized over 100 services to drive the on-time completion of 35+ customer-facing digital modernization projects.
The projects’ shared successes fuelled a strong partnership, culminating in QualityKiosk’s selection as the exclusive quality and reliability engineering partner for CBD’s TCoE.
“Our collaboration with CBD will leverage our proprietary AI expertise and platforms to operate at top speed and adapt to the bank’s changing business and innovation needs,” noted Ravishankar Gopalan, advisory board member at QualityKiosk.
QualityKiosk currently operates in around 25 countries and has about 3,500 employees, serving mostly banks and firms in capital markets and insurance to transform their digital capabilities.
