Case Study: Synovus achieves secure SSO and simplified mobile banking with Forum Systems API Security Gateway

Synovus creates a mobile banking app in 40 days with Forum Systems

Synovus faced the challenge of managing many disparate applications across its business lines, which relied on inefficient batch processes for data sharing. To meet increased real-time data requirements, their technology team adopted a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy. They partnered with vendor Forum Systems and implemented the Forum Sentry API security gateway to help enable this transition and address their security and access needs.

By implementing the solution from Forum Systems, Synovus was able to securely share business rules and data between legacy and new applications. The results included enabling fast and efficient single sign-on (SSO) for both internal and third-party applications, which dramatically accelerated user authentication for online banking. Furthermore, Forum Systems' technology allowed Synovus to reuse existing web services to swiftly deploy new applications, such as creating and testing a mobile banking application within just 40 days.
