Case Study: Banco BPI achieves 3x faster batch processing and 2x transaction speeds with BMC Software's SQL Performance for DB2

Banco BPI, a leading Portuguese financial group, increases transaction speeds by 200% with efficient mainframe performance

Banco BPI, a leading Portuguese financial group, needed to keep its mainframe IBM DB2 database—holding 5 TB of data and handling about 500 million daily SQL requests—reliable and performing at peak levels to support both legacy systems and new digital services while controlling costs.

By deploying BMC SQL Performance for DB2 to gain clear visibility and tune SQL in QA and production, the bank eliminated SQL bottlenecks and optimized DB2 operations. The result: batch jobs run up to 3x faster (from ~90 minutes to under 30 in some cases), online transactions are up to 2x faster (response times cut by as much as 50%), audit preparation time is reduced, and mainframe costs are lower.
