BMC Collaborates with Atruvia, NRB, and Line Bank Taiwan for Enhanced Banking Resilience

Accelerating Banking Resilience Through Technology

In an era where digital transformation is crucial, BMC Software, a global leader in business software solutions, has taken significant steps to assist banks in enhancing their operational efficiencies. By joining forces with notable financial institutions such as Atruvia, NRB, and Line Bank Taiwan, BMC is enabling these organizations to modernize their core systems and streamline their workflows to better meet the demands of contemporary finance.

Elevating Atruvia's Banking Infrastructure

Atruvia is foundational to the operations of over 670 cooperative banks in Germany, overseeing approximately 91 million accounts. As banks contended with tighter regulatory frameworks like the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), Atruvia recognized the pressing need to revolutionize its database recovery methods. In selecting BMC AMI Recovery for Db2, the institution leveraged automated recovery features that enable parallel recovery simulations. This pivotal decision not only ensures operational continuity during testing but also fortifies Atruvia’s compliance with DORA and BAFIN regulations.

Rüdiger Schmitt, a system engineer from Atruvia AG, emphasized the symbiotic nature of their operations, stating, "The banks' operations depend on our operations. Their resilience depends on our resilience. By modernizing our database recovery capabilities, we support DORA and BAFIN rules, and we bring even greater resilience to banking in Germany."

NRB's Approach to Modern Software Development

Meanwhile, NRB is shifting its strategy by prioritizing the modernization of its software development processes. Instead of diving straight into application upgrades, NRB focuses on optimizing its development framework through the BMC AMI DevX solutions. These tools facilitate change tracking and provide fallback options during production, greatly enhancing development speed and efficiency.

Benoît Ebner, a system engineer at NRB, elucidated the advantages of this shift: "We can now track every change and perform quick fallbacks in production. We now have access to many statistics and KPIs that we didn't have before, which helps us identify areas for improvement." This proactive approach not only accelerates development cycles but also empowers younger developers, enhancing their ability to manage and create modern mainframe applications.

LINE Bank Taiwan's Digital Banking Evolution

On the forefront of digital banking innovation, LINE Bank Taiwan embarked on building its platform from the ground up, integrating it with the popular LINE super app. Tackling the challenges of rapid deployment, the bank needed a workflow orchestration solution that would ensure speed and reliability. BMC's Control-M emerged as the ideal solution, enabling seamless integration of various banking processes while maintaining efficiency.

With Control-M, LINE Bank now offers uninterrupted digital banking services around the clock, streamlining workflows for essential transactions and processes, such as account balancing and financial data analytics. The bank has successfully integrated over 5,000 job schedules, significantly improving service delivery.

CTO Leo Weng of LINE Bank stated, "With Control-M we can run secure, stable, efficient processes, and we can flexibly integrate workflows across innovative new solutions, all while meeting the requirements of the financial industry." LINE Bank has reported a substantial 30% reduction in manual wait times and a similar decrease in manual efforts for cross-platform integrations, enhancing their overall operational efficiency.

Future-Forward Banking Solutions

The collaboration between BMC, Atruvia, NRB, and LINE Bank Taiwan heralds a new age for banking resilience and modernization. As these institutions continue to evolve in a fast-paced digital landscape, BMC's solutions prove invaluable in driving efficiency, compliance, and overall business growth in the financial sector. BMC stands committed to empowering nearly 80% of the Forbes Global 100 by unlocking human and machine potential, thus enabling organizations to navigate the next frontier of bank technology seamlessly and effectively.

By advancing mainframe solutions and orchestrating workflows, these partnerships exemplify how technology can support and elevate modern banking practices, setting a benchmark for future innovations in the industry.
