GERMANY’S Software AG said that AmBank Group, one of the Malaysia’s premier financial solutions groups, is using its webMethods platform to seamlessly integrate its core banking applications with its own on-premises applications.
 
webMethods enables AmBank to build a single cohesive infrastructure that can simplify maintenance and enhance time-to-market, with the capability to reuse the services built, Software AG said in a statement.

“Transforming our core banking system was critical to achieve the agility, flexibility and long-term growth of the bank,” said AmBank Group chief information officer Charles Tan.
 
“We looked to Software AG as the global market leader in application integration,” he added.
 
AmBank engaged with Software AG Global Consulting Services (GCS) to drive the implementation of the rewiring project.
