Case Study: Mizuho Bank achieves real-time market data integration with Progress Software

DataDirect Helps Mizuho Bank Integrate Disparate Technology for Access to Real - Time Market Data

Mizuho Bank, a global financial institution, needed to rebuild a key real-time market analysis system after the September 11 attack destroyed its New York office. The bank had to integrate disparate data sources and platforms so analysts and senior management could access market and transaction data quickly, and it turned to Progress Software, using Progress DataDirect Connect for ODBC and DDE.

Progress Software implemented a single connectivity platform to pull heterogeneous data into one environment for analysis, and the database connectivity piece was completed in about a week. The solution delivered seamless integration, simpler maintenance, and better performance, with reported gains of 58% in performance over other alternatives and a 35% cost benefit from reduced integration needs.
