Savvion Announces Banking Foundation for Business Solution
11/05/2008
Savvion has recently begun releasing business process management (BPM)-based packaged applications to go along with its BPM middleware. The latest example was announced November 5. (ebizQ recently interviewed Ajay Khanna of Savvion with details to appear on the BPM In Action blog.)
ebizQ received the following:
Savvion has introduced Savvion Banking Foundation, a BPM-enabled solution that enables banks to keep pace with the rapid changes precipitated by the current credit and financial market crisis and to comply with new regulations and requirements. It allows banks to monitor and improve their business processes across a wide range of banking functions, including loan processing, underwriting, and servicing.
“In these volatile times, regulatory agencies are scrutinizing financial institutions more than ever,” said Dr. M.A. Ketabchi, President, CEO and founder of Savvion. “Banks’ management must be able to monitor, control, and continuously improve their business processes in real time. They must also leverage investments made in existing information systems, integrate with disparate systems inside and outside their enterprise, and continuously optimize their operating costs.”
Enabling Banks to Meet the Challenges of a Changing Industry
Banking Foundation allows financial institutions to build solutions to handle whatever new regulations are imposed, giving them the increased agility and flexibility that traditional banking solutions do not deliver.
Banking Foundation users can implement process changes and deploy them globally in a small amount of time, according to Savvion, because of the open architecture and user-friendly interfaces of Savvion’s business process management system. Savvion Banking Foundation encompasses a comprehensive collection of artifacts, process models and templates, along with reference implementations and best practices tailored specifically for the banking industry. As a result, customers are able to build new and flexible banking solutions that can be changed easily to meet future needs.
