In large organizations, integration costs make or break the business case in building and implementing new applications. The cost level is determined by the degree of standardization of interfaces, from a technical and a definition point of view. While it is becoming more and more clear that SOA is the best technology for internal (today) and external (soon) interfaces, standards will have to be agreed upon at industry level. That is why BIAN, and the facilitation it provides for banks and software vendors is so important to us.

Open standards create interoperability and accelerate the adoption of new technologies that help industries work more intelligently. BIAN’s collaboration with industry groups such as Object Management Group (OMG) and SWIFT demonstrates its commitment to making its banking models more valuable to its members. Through the BIAN community, IBM will continue working to address the requirements of financial institutions through solutions based on open standards.

The bank adopted a service-oriented architecture over 15 years ago with the objectives of improved agility, reduced cost and improved consistency. In the past five years, we have implemented newer technologies based on web services to expand and update the infrastructure supporting our SOA. We view standardisation across the industry — amongst both financial institutions and vendors — as the key to realising the promise of SOA and simplifying the integration effort of major projects. We are impressed with BIAN’s existing membership and are delighted to be part of this visionary organisation. We hope this forum will provide real business value in the years ahead.

With a rapidly changing digital landscape that includes aggressive and agile FinTech companies sweeping the market, it is imperative that traditional banking and finance organisations are able to optimise their legacy systems while providing seamless end-user experience across multiple digital platforms. There is a real competitive advantage there for a modern merging of old and new systems, if enabled properly via integration. We pride ourselves on bringing integration expertise through strategy, architectural, development, testing and deployment that ultimately delivers that competitive and commercial advantage to banking organisations globally.
