Diasoft expects to cut deployment with IBM PureSystems solution

A global company with offices in Europe, Asia and Russia, Diasoft provides financial software solutions for retail, corporate and universal banking; treasury and capital market services; and the insurance business. An IBM Premier Business Partner, Diasoft has more than 1,400 employees.

Complex solution needs faster deployment and streamlined integration

The primary product offering from Diasoft is the service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based FLEXTERA solution, which provides end-to-end automation for financial services and streamlines customers’ operations. The FLEXTERA solution offers a range of tools that support modern banking, insurance products and services, financial markets operations, accounting, reporting, business intelligence and human resources (HR) management.

This banking technology provides front-to-back financial services automation based on a suite of more than 70 independent software modules, which customers can use separately or customize and integrate. Customers can choose from front-office, middle-office and back-office module suites and create clear step-by-step processes for each branch of business operations. FLEXTERA technology allows customers to use IT resources more efficiently because they can manage the model for each sector of business.

Modern financial solutions have become increasingly complex. With a large number of modules, it is cumbersome for vendors to create the necessary infrastructure and to then correctly deploy and integrate the applications. To streamline the deployment process, Diasoft used existing models to design the technology landscape, then it integrated the models and provided necessary platforms and customized solutions as needed.

Diasoft spent several weeks manually testing and preparing a technology landscape for a customer’s FLEXTERA solution deployment. The company sought to speed its deployment process and reduce installation errors so it could provide customers with faster business outcomes.

IBM PureApplication System solution leads to process automation

Over many years, Diasoft and IBM have built a strong relationship, and Diasoft trusts IBM technology for deploying its solutions. When IBM approached Diasoft with the IBM PureSystems™ product family, the company was intrigued to learn about integrated applications, cloud computing technology and patterns of expertise.

Diasoft chose to optimize its FLEXTERA software for the IBM PureApplication System offering. Konstantin Varov, director, system platforms and architecture department, member of the management board for Diasoft, explains, “With its expert integration and streamlined functionality, PureApplication System allowed us to integrate, support and optimize our application server and the deployment process for our FLEXTERA solution.”

Using PureSystems technology, Diasoft is able to automatically deploy its applications and help ensure they run correctly in the new environment. The company is impressed with optimized run times and the flexibility of the PureSystems offerings.

Patterns of expertise allow a company to use proven best practices to establish predetermined application architectures for complex tasks. These patterns help deliver faster time to value and reduce operational expenses. Diasoft prepared a pattern of expertise named FLEXTERA Front Office, which allows banks to create a wide network of front-end presence points while providing minimum costs for the solution’s launch, support and maintenance.

IBM PureSystems technology slashes deployment times and reduces errors

Diasoft anticipates numerous internal and customer benefits from using FLEXTERA software with PureApplication System technology. The most significant advantage is the reduction in time needed to deploy the FLEXTERA solution and deliver results to customers. With the PureApplication System offering, Diasoft anticipates decreasing deployment times from several weeks to just a few days.

When running FLEXTERA software on the PureApplication System solution, Diasoft expects to see a dramatic reduction in installation mistakes. The built-in expertise and integrated systems of the PureApplication System offering automatically streamline the deployment process, decreasing opportunities for manual errors.

Diasoft expects the strength and reputation of the IBM brand to act as a powerful selling point for its FLEXTERA solution. Varov says, “We spoke to some of our customers about IBM PureSystems, and they wanted to know more. We were able to discuss our solution offerings, and we saw that using PureApplication increases the reputation of our FLEXTERA solution.”

With faster deployment, simplified integration and fewer errors, as well as support from IBM, Diasoft expects its customers to obtain greater results from its FLEXTERA solution when they run on PureSystems technology.
