A IBM Case Study
Kosei Securities, an independent securities company in Japan, had long relied on its core system, KICS, and wanted to improve efficiency, optimize operations, and support a wider range of financial products and derivatives. To address these challenges, Kosei Securities worked with IBM on the IBM Cloud-based KICS Cloud service, using IBM Power Virtual Server along with technologies such as IBM i and IBM MQ.
IBM helped implement a scalable, reliable all-in-one cloud platform covering front-office to back-office securities functions, with API integration and flexible infrastructure changes through MONO-X’s API-Bridge and PVS One. The result was faster environment build and migration, lower upfront and customer costs, improved operational flexibility, and more stable mission-critical system operation, helping Kosei Securities accelerate digital transformation while also supporting energy-saving and environmental goals.
