Digital transformation has caused a significant shift in culture , but Benderlioglu asserts that this has only strengthened Al Khaliji ’ s relationship with its vendors . “ Al Khaliji seeks a long term partnership with its vendors ,” he says . “ We are diligent in finding the right solution for us and our customers . We have our solutions customised for us , and seek to fully understand and build upon each tailored solution . One excellent example is Temenos , a company that is right for Al Khaliji because it consistently develops its solutions with agility .” He notes that a long-term key partner is VEDAS , as it supports Al Khaliji in the payments sector . “ It can be more of a challenge to engage and maintain new technologies when attention is primarily focused on the day to day running of the bank , but VEDAS brings us the latest innovations and informs us of new technological advancements across the world .”
