My point is that the HSBC student page, which sponsored the video contest, had by yesterday 21th October 6932 Fans and one day later 6,949. By doing

My first Temenos’ assignment was in Madrid. It was a very large implementation at a Spanish branch of a big Swiss Bank. Late in the evening, straight after work, most of our team used to have dinner together in any of the terraces during that incredible hot summer. It was an intense project, full of challenges, and I considered still one of my bes...
