We partnered with FIS Global, one of the largest and most prominent banking software vendors. They had solutions that actually work in production. Our leadership at the time would not look at those solutions that were working. Instead, they wanted to partner with a vendor to build a new microservice-based platform because we were imposing that on our vendor partner. Of course, they'll do anything for money, but they couldn't deliver on schedule.

That's really where we're the problem began and ended. We were building our stuff and were on time with our delivery, but our vendor partner was constantly missing their deadline, and you're burning $20 million dollars a month. It doesn't take very many months before you've wasted a lot of money without any progress.

Because we are under certain sanctions for the banking industry and there's a problem with technical support, we worked through test case studies, research and development and had a lot of problems. So then suddenly our deadline comes up and we did it all, but it was on our own. It was a big team and we accomplished a lot. But there are lots of problems without any help and no one with specific experience working on the project.
