Solutions from Microsoft and its partners enable you to renew core banking systems in a managed, gradual, and modular way at a differentiated cost. Leveraging modern banking applications on a platform based on Microsoft technologies enables a phased, strategic approach that lets your people improve operations, reduce costs, and prepare for growth. Implementing a modular, component-based enterprise solution ensures strong integration with your existing technologies. An overall service-oriented-architecture (SOA) helps banks reduce the risk that can result from multiple data entries and out-of-date information, increase management approval, and avoid the potential disruption to business caused by replacing entire systems.
Core Banking technologies
Microsoft technology for Core Banking is familiar and easy to use. It integrates and connects easily with your existing systems, empowering your people to leverage existing IT investments. Because of these advantages, many core banking systems are already using customer-facing (for example, branch, and Internet) or departmental systems (for example, trade finance, treasury and capital markets, and statutory reporting) on a Microsoft platform. Moving toward an end-to-end Microsoft environment delivers cost benefits and improved integration and agility. Microsoft consistently creates innovative software and has a large partner ecosystem available to support it.
Highly customizable technologies for Core Banking from Microsoft and its partners help you achieve a competitive advantage by better connecting information, systems, and people. These manageable and cost-effective technologies are designed to work together as well as integrate with other platforms and applications, empowering your people to renew core systems in a phased strategic manner and reducing the risks associated with legacy migration.
