'We needed a platform that could deliver both reliability and flexibility at scale—WSO2 gave us exactly that.'
As MVola scaled operations and transitioned from a telecom-run service into a standalone digital bank, the company faced the critical challenge of building a modern, resilient, and scalable digital infrastructure.
In response, MVola turned to WSO2 to provide a cloud-native integration and API management platform that could support its rapid growth and need for operational independence.
'We needed a platform that could deliver both reliability and flexibility at scale—WSO2 gave us exactly that,' said Lakruwan Senevirathne, Chief Information Officer at MVola.
Working alongside MVola's internal teams, iTelaSoft implemented a comprehensive WSO2 API Management solution at MVola.
Head of EMEA at iTelaSoft, Shiraz Thajudeen said, 'We implemented the solution for MVola, thereby centralizing API management, improving scalability, and supporting 100 million transactions monthly. This reduced operational risks, enhanced performance, and positioned MVola for future growth with real-time insights.'
With WSO2, MVola now manages over 20 APIs that handle more than 1 billion transactions each year. These include over 300 million high-volume, customer-to-merchant transactions powered through a stable integration with Amdocs DFS.
The company also launched a secure, branded developer portal using WSO2, enabling external partners to easily integrate MVola's payment services into their own apps and websites.
'WSO2 helped us expand beyond internal capabilities and open our ecosystem to trusted third parties—critical to our mission of driving digital inclusion,' Senevirathne added.
Beyond performance and scalability, WSO2's platform ensures consistent service delivery across channels, from the USSD interface to the Super App, allowing MVola to meet customers where they are—regardless of device or connectivity. Real-time analytics and seamless monitoring have further enhanced MVola's ability to proactively optimize services and ensure continuous improvement.
'WSO2 has been instrumental in helping us build a future-proof digital banking platform,' said Senevirathne. 'Their technology supports our goal of delivering accessible financial services to every Malagasy citizen, and positions us to keep innovating as demand grows.'

New report reveals 10-point drop in AI readiness in EMEA
Image: Pexels ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation, has released the latest edition of its The study evaluates enterprise readiness across five critical components: leadership and strategy, workflows, talent, governance, and investment. These indicators collectively assess how well-prepared organisations are to scale AI effectively. Now in its second year, the global report surveyed nearly 4,500 respondents worldwide, including 1,950 from nine markets in Europe and the Middle East — including the UAE and Saudi Arabia. While emerging technologies such as agentic AI are driving experimentation and delivering early results, the region's AI maturity score dropped from 44 to just 34 out of 100. This decline reflects growing challenges in turning innovation into structured, large-scale deployments. Cathy Mauzaize, president, EMEA at ServiceNow 'Organisations across Europe and the Middle East are accelerating their AI projects, but many are still in the early stages of their journey,' said Cathy Mauzaize, president, EMEA at ServiceNow. 'They recognise the potential and now is the time to build on that energy. To keep moving forward, organisations are exploring how to lay the right foundations to make the data work for them, and give their people the skills to use AI with confidence. According to IDC, European spending on artificial intelligence will reach $144.6bn in 2028. The opportunity is huge, but only if we focus on getting the basics right today.' Key findings from the report AI growth is outpacing enterprise readiness Nearly half (47 per cent) of companies in Europe and the Middle East reported launching more than 100 AI use cases in the past year. In the UAE, 49 per cent of organisations reported similar activity. However, most are still in early implementation phases. Just 6 per cent of organisations in the region have reached the most advanced AI stage — augmentation. In the UAE, 9 per cent have reached that milestone, and the country shares the highest AI maturity score (35) in the region with the UK. Agentic AI is an emerging opportunity, with a knowledge gap Agentic AI — which enables autonomous actions — is beginning to reshape automation strategies across the enterprise. Yet understanding remains low. Only 15 per cent of organisations in Europe and the Middle East are currently using agentic AI, and 42 per cent expect to implement it within the next year. However, just one in five organisations are 'very familiar' with the technology, highlighting a knowledge gap. Still, the potential is evident: among early adopters, 58 per cent saw improved gross margins, 59 per cent gained greater efficiency and productivity, and 60 per cent reported enhanced user experiences. Read: Governance remains a weak link As adoption increases, so do risks tied to privacy, cybersecurity, and regulation. In the UAE, organisations making 'significant strides' in AI data governance rose modestly from 42 per cent in 2024 to 45 per cent in 2025. Yet data security continues to be the top concern blocking AI progress. To address these issues, the report stresses that AI governance should be embedded from the outset. Platforms need to integrate oversight, accountability, and strategy — particularly when exploring advanced technologies like agentic AI.
