Case Study: U.S. Financial Institution Bank achieves real-time agility and reduced application costs with Software AG's Digital Business Platform

U.S Financial Institution Bank - Customer Case Study

One of the largest U.S. and global banks — with trillions in assets, hundreds of thousands of employees and tens of millions of customers — faced rising customer expectations, fierce competition from digital-born banks, sprawling applications and growing regulatory demands. The bank needed faster, more customer‑centric digital interactions and a real‑time, event‑driven architecture, plus better visibility to make informed IT strategy and investment decisions and to reduce application complexity and risk.

The bank adopted Software AG’s Digital Business Platform — webMethods for integration, Apama for streaming analytics and Alfabet for enterprise architecture and portfolio management — to build an event‑driven, real‑time bank and rationalize its 4,000+ application landscape. The result: faster customer engagement, increased agility, reduced application costs, risk and complexity, streamlined regulatory compliance and freed capital for growth and innovation — with proven capability (webMethods handles roughly $30 trillion in payments yearly and Apama outperformed competitors in PoC tests).
