E. Sun Bank – Taiwan
Final As Produced Transcript
Narrator
E. Sun Bank is a commercial bank on the rise
in Taiwan. Established in 1992, it has big
ambitions and knows that being the best
requires the flexibility to focus on its
customers’ changing needs.
H.H. Yang
We named our bank E. Sun because E. Sun
is the tallest mountain in Taiwan and we
hoped that our bank would be the best
bank in Taiwan.
Narrator
In a fiercely competitive industry, E. Sun
Bank needs a highly flexible IT system that’s
easy to manage.
H.H. Yang
Our goal is to have a system which can
support us and that is aligned with our
interoperational requirements.
Narrator
In today’s banking landscape, system
complexity is a big challenge. E. Sun
needed to bring together IT systems that
had built up over time on different
platforms, using different applications and
programming languages.
E.Sun Bank’s enterprise environment
included an IBM System z as well as other
distributed platforms – such as OS400 – in a
complex environment involving many
different solution packages.
H.H. Yang
These systems need to be integrated and
combined to provide the services that
customers need.
Narrator
To connect all their different systems with
maximum flexibility, E. Sun chose an SOA
approach with WebSphere and IMS on the
IBM System z platform.
.
H.H. Yang
We chose IMS on the IBM Mainframe. It has
since proven to be an excellent choice. To
date, our system – with its stability, flexibility,
reliability and scalability – is the best in
Taiwan.
Narrator
With IMS SOA solutions and System z, E.Sun
Bank is easily overcoming its interoperability
issues with IMS and Enterprise Service Bus
solutions. One key focus is reliable flexibility.
E. Sun uses WebSphere Message Broker and
Process Server in combination with IMS for
an Enterprise Service Bus solution that
connects applications across their
heterogeneous systems.
H.H. Yang
It’s easy to add applications with the
mainframe. Therefore, we can focus on
developing applications and don’t need to
worry too much about system issues, such as
recovery and restart.
H.H. Yang
The IMS SOA solutions, including IMS
resource adapter and associated RDz helps
us to accomplish such a conversion. With
WebSphere Message Broker, it can help us
to accomplish some of the front-end
integration. Therefore, this should be our
development direction for the future.
Narrator
IMS and System z help E. Sun handle 1.5
million online transactions per day – more
than 60 transactions a second during peak
hours. And the IBM solution helps E. Sun
grow with ease.
H.H. Yang
IMS is very capable of high-volume
processing. The mainframe provides
unlimited scalability. Therefore, when a
need for a large increase suddenly
emerges, the system can manage it well.
For example, in 2004, we merged with a
new bank. As a result, the number of E. Sun
branches increased from 50 to more than
100. We were able to bring the entire
.
business volume quickly under control with
our original system. We were able to easily
integrate the two bank systems in 90 days.
Narrator
Best of all, IMS on System z provides an
affordable solution for E. Sun Bank today
and into the future.
H.H. Yang
From the perspective of total cost of
ownership, using IMS is very cost-effective.
This is because it can continually expand,
while saving maintenance costs and
management costs.
Narrator
Thanks to IBM IMS and WebSphere on
System z, E. Sun Bank can continue reaching
new heights.
H.H. Yang
If you require high-volume, high efficiency,
high reliability and unlimited scalability, this
system is highly recommended.
