IBM Rational in the Financial Services sector

Fast and economic service-delivery thru proven transparent processes and tools


Rational software - Software and system development

IBM Rational financial services solutions can:

  • Help enable organizations to reduce IT costs
  • Help reduce business/operational risk and ensure application security
  • Help enable financial service institutions to deliver new differentiated, relationship-based products and services faster

With today’s economic downturn, financial services institutions (FSIs) are forced to reduce business risk, to improve profitability, and to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Unfortunately, FSIs are faced with rigid infrastructures, disparate core systems aligned by lines of business, significant investments in aging applications and resource skills, and increasing costs associated with regulatory compliance and ineffective software delivery processes, all of which hamper business performance.

Transforming any of the aforementioned components can be a risky proposition for any FSI. If not approached in the proper fashion, it can disrupt operations resulting in client dissatisfaction and ultimately, a devastating impact on the bottom line. It is recommended that FSIs address their IT infrastructure, invest in modernizing existing technologies, and optimize IT processes in a stepwise and methodical manner to minimize cost, risk, and potential project or operational failure.

To help keep financial services organizations competitive and nimble in today’s rapidly changing market, IBM Rational provides the essential frameworks to accelerate the delivery of financial applications and services, to innovate new products, and to optimize distribution channels, while ensuring that they operate within an increasing regulatory environment.
