By: Fiorano Software “Competing in the banking and financial services market today requires cutting edge technology, said Mr. K.P. Sunny, Head of Information Technology at Federal Bank. “ Customers are no longer content to wait so responsiveness, accuracy and customer service delineates the leaders from the laggards. Federal Bank made a conscious decision to invest in Fiorano ESB as its solution of choice. The power of the product is in its architectural simplicity which allows the Bank to put in place a flexible architecture that will scale linearly and allow business decisions to be speedily implemented at the IT level,” he added. Federal Bank is using over 30 retail banking related applications from various vendors including Infosys’ Core banking platform FINACLE running on mixture of hardware including IBM AIX servers. As part of their expansion plans to increase the number of value added services to its customers, the bank wanted to provide near real-time availability of foreign exchange remittances through SWIFT and had ambitious plans to build a multichannel payment gateway, besides expanding their kiosk facilities and ATM network. After a detailed evaluation, the bank concluded that many of the offerings from traditional large stack vendors, though feature rich, were not simple and cohesive. Implementation and deployment with such traditional stacks would necessarily require significant custom coding and extensive use of consulting services leading to a high cost structure. After conducting a rigorous proof-of-concept, the Architectural and IT team at Federal Bank picked Fiorano as the preferred solution that met all of its criteria. Fiorano was selected over larger traditional stack solutions primarily for its ease of use, low learning curve, near linear scalability, software-based high availability, reliability, security and error handling capabilities. The end result will be massive savings in maintenance of their current integration code. Using the Fiorano ESB to integrate their core banking infrastructure, Infosys FINACLE and multiple retail channels including their SWIFT partners, the bank can now rapidly roll out a myriad of value added services through multiple delivery channels including ATMs, kiosks, hand-held devices, mobile and internet. Fiorano’s architecture supports an incremental deployment model, enabling deployments to be more modular and standardized, less risky and less expensive. “With readily available, reasonably priced consulting services in India there is always a temptation to try and continue custom development for every project with a point-to-point style of integration,” Read the detailed case study at http://www.fiorano.com/ About Federal Bank ( www.federal- Federal Bank Limited (NSE- FEDERALBNK, BSE- 500469, LSE: FEDS) is a major commercial bank listed on the Bombay and London stock exchanges and is headquartered in India.
