Case Study: a major US banking company secures acquired systems and cuts licensing costs with Prolifics and IBM Security

Major US Banking Force - Customer Case Study

A major US banking force faced a significant challenge after acquiring a competitor's heavy equipment financing business. The acquisition required a complex "lift and shift" of decades of legacy applications and code, including expensive proprietary software that cost nearly $1 million per month to license. The customer needed to quickly implement a new solution without full knowledge of the previous system's implementation details, all while preserving the user experience. Prolifics was engaged to address this secure integration.

Prolifics designed and implemented a solution leveraging IBM Security Access Manager and other IBM security products to centralize authentication and authorization. This created a secure, single platform for over 50 applications, enabling both internal employees and external customers to access systems and manage accounts. The new solution, which facilitates an average of $50 million in transactions daily, drastically reduced licensing costs by utilizing software the bank already owned and allowed it to confidently expand its newly acquired business.
