Omnitech InfoSolutions Bags NG-RTGS Contract From Solapur Janata Sahakari Bank

Omnitech InfoSolutions Ltd, the Indian technology transformation company signed its first Next Generation Real Time Gross Settlement (NG-RTGS) implementation contract with Solapur Janata Sahakari bank (SJSB.)

The contract involves helping the bank to go live on Next Generation RTGS along with a three year Management Services contract. It involves making the Gateway Servers fully operational by installing and configuring all relevant hardware and software, network communication with regard to NG RTGS Primary, standby and Disaster Recovery Site. It also entails implementation of Omnitech’s three niche Payment Solutions for Notifications, Liquidity Management and Payment Messages Reconciliation.

The next generation RTGS (NG-RTGS) system is based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML) messages conforming to ISO 20022 standards.

Banks have been instructed by RBI to be prepared to migrate their existing payment systems to handle the new ISO 20022 message format, while instructing the new member banks to directly start operations on the new format.
