Why OPF delivery needs a new approach
If you are implementing or modernizing your FIS OPF platform, you know the challenges: constant change, limited expertise, and projects that only seem to grow more complex.
Not everyone understands OPF
Deciphering niche terminology requires deep product expertise, the lack of which causes breakdown between agreed scope and what’s delivered.
It’s getting more complex
OPF projects span hundreds of interdependent tasks, scheme rules, and model bank configurations.
There aren’t enough experts
BA, QA and dev cycles are lost to clarifications, rework, and manual documentation.
Late‑stage defects hurt
Gaps between signed‑off requirements and delivered configurations surface in UAT and at go‑live.

The impact for banks?
Slower time to market. Higher change costs. Avoidable UAT surprises. Unhappy customers.
87%
of payments modernization projects overrun
83%
of projects go over budget and are not delivered to the original spec
85%
of banks plan to switch payments platform vendors in the next 5 years

The Answer: OPF AnalystAccelerator
OPF AnalystAccelerator is purpose-built software that combines AI precision with human expertise to manage complexity, maintain quality, and accelerate every stage of your OPF program. Safely, securely, and at scale.
Think of it as the world’s most experienced and successful OPF delivery team on demand, available 24/7, and infinitely scalable.
Fluent in OPF
We combine AI agents that are fluent in OPF with expert governance and auditability.
End-to-end
Our OPF Agents assist across the full upgrade and configuration cycle — asking clarifying questions, generating client‑readable artefacts, auto‑building tests, and guiding fixes directly — so your teams deliver right‑first‑time.
What is OPF AnalystAccelerator?
OPF AnalystAccelerator brings together domain-trained AI Agents and RedCompass Labs’ most experienced OPF consultants to deliver faster, more predictable outcomes for banks and payment providers worldwide.
Our AI Agents are trained on thousands of OPF artefacts, enriched rulebooks, and decades of global delivery experience.
They handle the heavy lifting – preparing, consolidating, and validating requirements such as PDS, FDD/FFD, and use cases – while our human experts review, refine, and sign off to ensure accuracy and client-ready quality.
The result: right-first-time documentation, test coverage, and configuration – all aligned with FIS specifications and your unique project requirements.
Built for OPF, Trained by Experts
Unlike generic AI tools, OPF AnalystAccelerator is powered by OPF-specific Persona Language Models (PLMs) — trained to think, ask, and reason like payments experts. These PLMs outperform general models by 20–30% on industry benchmarks, because they’ve been shaped by real-world OPF experience, not just raw data.
That means our agents don’t just recall information — they understand context, ask the right questions, anticipate gaps, and help teams make smarter decisions throughout delivery.
Continuous Knowledge, Zero Loss
Every interaction, document, and insight is captured and retained — creating a living knowledge repository that stays with your organisation long after go-live. No more lost knowledge when people move on, no more rework due to forgotten context.
Say goodbye to armies of off-site consultants and the endless cycle of knowledge transfer. With OPF AnalystAccelerator, your expertise grows stronger with every project.
What's inside
Our top OPF experts are in the loop alongside purpose-built OPF agents. So you can say goodbye to armies of off-site consultants and the churn of lost handovers. Knowledge from your teams, the agents, and RedCompass experts is captured and retained permanently.
Outcomes that matter
Measure what matters to you — we baseline time, quality, cost, and adoption, then report improvements as you scale.
Time‑to‑market
Deliver releases 30–40% faster, meaning earlier scheme compliance and product launches.
Less stress
Fewer late‑stage defects and smoother cutovers drive less rework, closer alignment on custom configurations and lower costs.
Operational efficiency
Reduce BA/QA rework and handoffs; 20–30% lower delivery effort on in‑scope work.
Risk & compliance
Traceable requirements → tests → configuration with auditable approvals reduces go‑live risk.
Scale
Capacity grows with data, not headcount.
24/7 expertise
Access deep OPF expertise around the clock, whenever you need it.
Where the value lands
Requirements & clarity
Single, validated source of truth across every stage of the project; bank-readable, sign‑off‑ready OPF docs such as detailed FFD, Use Cases, and CRs; earlier build start.
Better test coverage
Traceable tests aligned to your signed‑off project requirements; gaps identified and filled; standardised reports.
Virtual expertise
Instant functional answers for BA/QA/Dev using project artefacts and payments knowledge — 24/7.
Measuring the impact
We measure the impact of OPF Agents through their Built-By-AI (BBai) rate — the percentage of project artifacts, test cases, and configurations produced by our agents and validated by experts. A higher BBai rate means faster delivery, fewer defects, and greater consistency across teams.
Our expertise, your workflow
OPF Agents can be delivered directly inside your existing AI enterprise platform—such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, or Google Duet—so your teams work seamlessly within their own secure environment.
Alternatively, they’re available through our SOC 2-compliant OPF AnalystAccelerator UI, providing a ready-to-use interface for rapid deployment and proof of value.
The Future of Software Upgrades
Enterprise software upgrades aren’t a one-off project – they’re continuously changing. Value is created when systems can evolve safely and seamlessly across complex environments.
OPF Agents embody this shift, transforming payment platform upgrades from manual, error-prone efforts into continuous, predictable change. This is how the world now modernizes: faster iterations, lower risk, and a hybrid delivery model that keeps every system compliant, up-to-date and fit for purpose into the future.
