Credit Suisse have chosen CentraSite, Software AG's SOA Governance solution, to support its strategic Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) programme. Under the implementation provisions, CentraSite will form the technological foundation for Credit Suisse's SOA programme, helping the enterprise transform core processes into reusable services. By mapping business processes in a modular way and shortening software development cycles, Credit Suisse expects to see measurable increases in business process efficiency.

The bank will implement CentraSite as part of the first phase scheduled for completion by September 2007. Subsequent phases will extend CentraSite as the central registry and repository for Credit Suisse's SOA application landscape worldwide, replacing its proprietary solution.

Mohammed Al Fardan, Managing Director Middle East and North Africa of Software AG Middle East, said: "The financial sector in the Middle East is growing at a very fast rate and the investments they manage are also growing exponentially. It is therefore crucial for the financial sector to manage the agility of their systems and increase efficiency as time is critical in their business. The implementation at a world-class investment organisation such as Credit Suisse is a perfect example of how SOA Governance solutions can help the financial sector in the Middle East."

CentraSite controls and administers all artefacts in an SOA-based application landscape. Credit Suisse will use CentraSite to store interface descriptions and map the structure of associated mainframe applications.
