EDS claims first .Net banking solution

ZDNet | at | by Mike

EDS claims that it has built the world's first Internet banking solution using .Net development architecture. The IT solutions provider has constructed a .Net-based online banking service for the Bank of Queensland. According to Microsoft, the EDS team took just under four months to complete the project. At this stage it appears that the .Net implementation is limited to providing an interface between the bank's online customers and its mainframe. Aside from EDS's claims that the project is a world first, the implementation of the .Net architecture at the bank has a second significance. Arrigo said that there are more banking solutions in development outside Queensland. However, Arrigo declined the opportunity to discuss those in detail prior to next week's TechEd conference in Queensland.
