| To
be ready to deal with the growing importance of the International
Fund Market, the bank wanted to provide its clients with an efficient,
straight-through processing solution for investment fund orders. The
requirement was to create a single gateway for its clients to access
thousands of funds and hundreds of transfer agents around the world,
while leveraging on the existing infrastructure and more specifically
its multi currency banking services.
The client’s overall requirements were that the system had
to operate in real time. It had to be robust since it would be accessible
to thousands of users throughout the world and the cost to access
the system had to be kept very low. In addition to these requirements
the system had to be scalable to support significant increases in
transaction volumes.
