System Diversity

Ensure the Perfect Fit

Financial Services providers maintain a broad and complex IT landscape, often built in-house and tailored to very specific needs. When introducing a new system to this landscape, it is crucial that it fits in.

First and foremost, a system needs to comply with an organization’s security standards. Can the communication to the interface be encrypted? How is user and rights management handled? Is publishing possible on secure channels? Can the databases be clustered?

Secondly, all aspects of the system need to be drilled towards integration. Both frontend and backend need to be equipped with standard based APIs, so that integrating the new system into an existing infrastructure does not cause headaches.

Last but not least, it is important to ensure that System Administrators are free to scale up or out, load-balance and cluster according to the environment’s needs and monitor its performance and uptime to ensure smooth maintenance cycles.
