Sviaz-Bank (IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (ESB))

The Neoflex company completed in December, 2010 the first integration project in the Sviaz-Bank. The integration solution providing interaction of a system of Internet banking for private clients with key applications of bank allowed to minimize the cost and terms of transition to the new version of the RBS system. The executed project is the beginning of transition of bank to the service-oriented architecture.

The Sviaz-Bank sets major problems for itself on gaining significant positions in the market due to active development of services for individuals. For the solution of these tasks the bank made the decision to significantly change IT architecture and, in particular, to pass to service-oriented architecture.

The foundation for this transition was laid by recently completed project on development of technology of remote service of private clients. During transition to the new version of a system of Internet banking for private clients the bank made the decision to include this system in an IT landscape using the integration solution. Specialists of Neoflex company were involved to development of the integration solution.

"We made a choice for benefit of implementation of a standard system of Internet banking and its integration with the systems of bank through an integration bus. It allowed to cut down expenses on completion and support not only the system, but also the whole complex of the information systems of bank participating in remote customer service. This project is important for us as well the fact that it laid the foundation for creation in bank service - the focused IT architecture", – Bykov Vladislav, the director of the department of information technologies of the Sviaz-Bank notes.

The integration solution is constructed on the IBM WebSphere ESB platform and successfully brought into commercial operation less than in 3 months from the moment of the beginning of works. Execution of works in so short time became possible thanks to unique methodology of development of SOA solutions of Neoflex company and a number of ready components – services, adapters, monitors and also the data model describing maintenance, structure and communications of objects of banking activity.

"It is not the first integration project on inclusion of the RBS system in an IT landscape of bank. The accumulated experience allows us to offer to the market the best sales terms of similar projects – in the minimum terms and with the minimum cost. In such projects we always propose the solution which allows to minimize completions of all systems providing the automated process", – Alexey Makeev, the director of practice of SOA of Neoflex company emphasized.

In the nearest future in ideology of SOA integration still of a number of business applications for bank will be executed. In particular, now the Neoflex company develops the integration solution within the project on business process automation of sale of credit products to individuals. It will connect a front office system for processing of credit requests with the system of assessment of the borrower and decision making and the system of interaction with bureau of credit histories.
