No they didn't, they gave the illusion they did and never fulfilled on anything or ever developed anything with the tech, they only used it as a marketing gimmick to garner more money from the multi-nationals who already pay for their legacy software.
They had everything going for them, but their is a reason they've since been broken up into 2 different companies. It's just sad, and a cautionary tale of what happens when your company gets complacent and relies way to heavily on the archaic model and refuse to adapt to modernity.
For posterity's sake go look at what connections they had with Stellar and Ripple, and see how blind their management class were as they ended up in the cross-hairs of the SEC.
Honestly, this is one of the times I say good riddance; we never needed them and their arrogance and eventual failure were predictable!
