Case Study: HSH Nordbank achieves streamlined, secure, and flexible IT with OpenText Exceed and OpenText Secure Shell

HSH Nordbank Depends on OpenText for Streamlined and Flexible IT

HSH Nordbank, a leading German corporate finance bank serving global trading desks, needed more flexible and secure IT connectivity to link user terminals to central trading systems (Kondor+, Calypso, Opus) amid restructuring and frequent vendor updates. The bank also had to meet stricter internal security requirements while keeping changes simple, resource‑efficient, and interruption‑free for users.

HSH Nordbank deployed OpenText Exceed with OpenText Secure Shell during a Kondor+ upgrade, enabling secure, certified access for ~650 users with a single administrator performing fast configuration changes and no user downtime. The rollout improved security and compliance, increased IT flexibility, reduced costs through modular licensing and consolidation, and set the stage for broader adoption of Exceed onDemand.
