ACI Worldwide partners with Red Hat to simplify payment operations

ACI Worldwide announced a collaboration with Red Hat to make ACI’s cloud-native Enterprise Payments Platform available on any cloud infrastructure.

With this collaboration, ACI will help customers ease their migration to the cloud to better adapt to the rapidly evolving digital economy and power the next generation of payment services. Using Red Hat OpenShift empowers banks, merchants, and billers with more flexibility and choice on how they wish to deploy their payment services, whether that is on-premises, in the cloud, or as a managed service.

As a Red Hat partner, ACI gains access to Red Hat’s open source portfolio of cloud-native artificial intelligence and hybrid cloud platforms. The collaboration will help ACI customers simplify payment operations, allowing them to deploy ACI’s enterprise payments platform on any cloud infrastructure and offering enhanced resiliency and scale while reducing operating costs.

“We are excited to extend our collaboration by joining the Red Hat partner ecosystem,” said Scotty Perkins, head of product management, ACI Worldwide. “We believe that this collaboration will be a game changer for many of our partners and customers to more easily reap the benefits of deploying payment services in the cloud, such as improving operational efficiency, accelerating the launch of new products, and ultimately driving growth.”

“We look forward to collaborating with ACI to help deliver a mission-critical enterprise payments platform for customers globally,” said Stefanie Chiras, SVP, partner ecosystem success, Red Hat. “At Red Hat, we are committed to supporting our partners and customers with a flexible, scalable, enterprise-grade technology platform like Red Hat OpenShift, helping them maximize innovation and reduce time to market while enabling the resiliency, performance, and service quality required by leading banks across the globe.”
