The financial service sector is facing significant challenges resulting from fierce
competition and the changing needs of customers. Banks, Insurance companies and
other financial institutions are in search of finding
better ways to improve operational efficiency to remain competitive and to create
sustainable value for shareholders.
MW2 helps customers to create a more flexible IT infrastructure to respond faster
to changing business demands.
Customers benefit from a highly sophisticated management approach to ensure that
IT processes and systems become more reliable while at the same time significantly
reduce maintenance and support costs.

At MW2 we see the emergence of three key themes that directly impact financial institutions
and their ability to improve operational performance:
Improved Business Process and Business Transactions Management
The MW2 Business Service Management (BSM) framework and delivery capabilities enable
organizations to:
- Provide end-to-end visibility - from business processes to the supporting IT infrastructure.
- Align IT investments with business needs.
- Proactively manage critical applications i.e. online banking, wire transfer, and
trading.
- Quickly resolve issues and reduce customer impact and SLA breaches.
- Reduce operational costs through process automation.
SOA Enablement
The ability to quickly deploy new applications that leverage mainframe data is driving
the need to adopt web services and SOA within financial institutions. MW2 is a market
leader in SOA strategies and SOA implementation and has supported large financial
institutions:
- Securely expose mainframe data using web services.
- Create composite applications to address different customer needs.
- Implement SOA governance solutions to improve the management of web services and
composite applications.
- Implement solutions to track transactions and provide deep root cause diagnostics
into mainframe environments.
Application and performance testing
Competition, regulation, and changing needs of customers have significantly increased
the frequency with which financial institutions have to deploy and improve their
systems. As a result, business owners have to choose between a well tested application
and a fast software development cycle.
MW2’s ability to leverage automated testing tools enables customers to
deploy high-quality applications faster, at reduced cost and with minimal risk.
