Idea Cloud – cloud banking

BlueSoft has designed and implemented an innovative IT solution for Idea Bank SA. It ensures utilizing functionalities and relaying communications between IT systems constituting the first cloud banking system in Poland – “Idea Cloud”

Idea Cloud – cloud banking

Challenge

Idea Bank primarily focuses on the small-and-medium enterprises market. It is the first bank in the world to have combined online banking, accounting and other functionalities facilitating company management in one application. No similar solutions had existed on the market and it was a banking revolution.

In 2013, the time had come for another innovative solution, i.e. “cloud banking” – Idea Cloud. BlueSoft has participated in developing Idea Bank’s new cloud banking system. As part of the project, we co-created an integration bus based on the webMethods platform. The bus was supposed to allow communication between existing and new systems and ensure its flexible and efficient development depending on the Client’s needs.

Solution

BlueSoft started with a business and technical analysis in order to verify the architecture and scope of work. Due to the fact that the target solution was to comprise more than 300 services, often with highly developed logic, this stage required particular diligence.
Any analytical gaps require additional resources at later stages of a project.

Realizing that the bus being developed was supposed to be the central point of new Online Banking, we cared particularly about ensuring full functionality and stability in accordance with the adopted schedule of all tests and implementations.

Business Process Management (BPM) was another area which needed careful analysis. Support modules were planned for product requests and fee calculation. Eventually, more than 20 separate processes, comprising a total of approximately 600 steps, were designed.

In order to provide a top quality solution, many complex support mechanisms were created, e.g. buffering, synchronizing or JMS notification mechanism. Moreover, the project also included a Product Catalogue and a reporting module based on BRIT eclipse tool.
Efficiency and stability are the key aspects in developing ESB and BPM class solutions.

Any delay or outage of the system may spread to other systems and hinder the operation of the business areas supported by them.
Precise and comprehensive tests were appropriately planned and completed. Consequently, the correctly scaled infrastructure has ensured seamless operation of the platform since Day 1.

Data migration & data remediation for corporate acquisition in Life Science industry 

BlueSoft engineers took up the challenge of global data migration for two international companies recognizable in the Life Science sector. The project was complex because these two companies processed and stored their data differently, using different tools and approaches to customers, sales models, services, and regionalization. Those challenges called for a modern and sophisticated set of reliable tools capable of providing secure and efficient data processing, delivering wide range of external system connectors, allowing secure and reliable data manipulation and cleansing with high level of scalability. This is why Talend suite supported by AWS RDS services has been chosen as the core ETL tool set for this challenge.
