Estarta Leverages Microsoft BizTalk Server and .Net Technologies to transition
Arab Bank plc, one of the Arab world’s leading financial institutions, has contracted Estarta Solutions, a leading-edge regional IT and Banking Solutions provider, to implement the Bank's Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solution.
The EAI solution facilitates the integration of all legacy and new systems at the Bank with efficiency and ease. An important part of this strategy is reaching a point where the Bank's environment is easily extended to satisfy future business evolutions, support new business initiatives and address services in an industry-standard, fast and easy manner.
"Estarta Solutions is cooperating with the Arab Bank to build a comprehensive solution, which transitions the Bank's point-to-point integration strategy into an Enterprise Application Integration; resulting in reduced maintenance cost, increased scalability and availability for the distributed systems and enhanced business agility” says Majed A. Rahim, the Arab Bank Global Head of Information Technology.
This solution will help the bank in implementing its strategy of better leveraging its technology investment. It will also provide customers with enhanced services, by creating a more robust and seamless integration of the customers information across systems, regardless of the channel used to access the bank’s products and services. In addition, the Bank will be able to respond to customer needs more promptly and accurately.
“The Arab Bank has always been a leader in adopting and implementing cutting-edge-technologies, and Estarta Solutions is proud to have been selected by the Arab Bank to implement this very strategic and mission-critical project. We plan to make full use of our strong experience in implementing large scale projects to ensure the success of this engagement,” says Estarta Solutions CEO, Ennis Rimawi
Estarta is leveraging Microsoft's BizTalk Server and .NET technologies to build a state-of-the-art EAI solution which caters for the Arab Bank's immediate and future needs. "BizTalk Server makes it fundamentally easier to integrate disparate systems across the Bank. BizTalk and the .NET framework make it possible for the Bank to build secure, reliable, highly scalable infrastructure critical for today's extremely competitive business environment," says Microsoft's Country Manager, Zeid Shubailat.
