Case Study: Bank Audi achieves faster online banking and reduced IT maintenance with Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic Server

Bank Audi Connects and Manages Interactions Between Disparate Technologies and Rapidly Builds New Banking Services

Bank Audi S.A.L., Lebanon’s largest bank with 73 branches, 162 ATMs and over 1.2 million clients across 13 countries, needed to modernize a heterogeneous, multivendor IT landscape to cut maintenance costs, speed development and testing, meet strict SLA response times for online transfers, automate X.509 security compliance, and roll out new online services for regional subsidiaries without building bespoke interfaces for each country.

Using Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus and WebLogic Server (implemented by partners RubiconRed, PrimeWare and MDSL in five months), the bank built a canonical data model, centralized SOA governance, and automated security and monitoring with Oracle Enterprise Manager. The project delivered new online banking and document-management services, multichannel access, met the 26‑second SLA for transfers, freed 40% of developers’/DBAs’ maintenance time for product work, increased online transaction volume, saved an estimated 25% in implementation cost/time, and enabled the in-house team to handle about 70% of future work.
