Case Study: Rabobank achieves scalable, cost-efficient EDI growth with IBM Sterling Commerce solutions

Breaking down siloes and assuring app performance at Rabobank

Rabobank, the Netherlands-based financial services provider, needed a more scalable and cost-efficient way to manage a rapidly growing base of trading partners as it outsourced non-core banking activities. To address the challenge, Rabobank worked with IBM and used IBM Sterling B2B Integration solutions to modernize its EDI and file-transfer environment.

IBM implemented a secure, resilient B2B integration platform using IBM Sterling B2B Integrator, IBM Sterling File Gateway, IBM Sterling Control Center, and IBM DataPower Gateway. The result was faster partner onboarding, with setup time cut by 66%, no unplanned downtime after go-live, and the capacity to handle 5x more trading partners while avoiding an estimated 30% increase in operational costs.
