关于客户
Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union (RBFCU) is a major bank and financial services enterprises operating in 55 locations across Texas, USA. With its strong commitment to customer service, RBFCU has expanded its banking solutions portfolio to cater to a fast-growing customer base. Overtime, RBFCU has shifted its banking and financial solutions data to become more customer-focused, whilst ensuring compliance of regulatory and industry best practices. RBFCU is one of the top credit unions in the country with over 400,000 members and assets exceeding $5 billion.
挑战
RBFCU had previously implemented an internally-developed core banking system to store and maintain member account information. As the credit union’s membership and product offerings expanded, the back end soon grew to hundreds of tables storing hundreds of gigabytes of data. Because of the legacy design of the system, RBFCU’s ability to develop modern, member-centric applications was hindered and fitting new products and services into the system often took an excessive amount of time. Additionally, RBFCU’s team was tasked with completing many regulatory changes to keep the core system compliant, which further hindered them from focusing on developing productive software applications. Ultimately, a decision was made to convert to a third-party core banking platform from Fiserv. The decision was a logical one; however, credit union leadership soon realized that converting to the new platform would be a daunting task. The sheer enormity of the data to be converted would require dedicated resources to get the job done. This spurred the creation of a core conversion team, which was charged with converting legacy data into the new core banking system, developing conversion logic/business rules, identifying opportunities for data cleanup, and integrating newly selected ancillary software with the core system.
解决方案
The possible solutions boiled down to the classic “build vs. buy.” Building the system in-house was initially considered but was quickly determined not to be a viable option. The development effort would have been too extensive, and the run-time performance would not likely scale to the amount of data to be migrated. The second option involved third-party ETL tools. Most of the major players were considered, but the race was short-listed to IBM, Talend, SSIS, and Centerprise. After thoroughly investigating each option, the RBFCU team found Centerprise to have the right combination of capability, performance, and intuitiveness. RBFCU selected Centerprise because it met and exceeded all objectives. The learning curve was not too high as the team discovered the interface to be straight-forward; developers were able to drop and come back to the tool without having to relearn it. And, with the Centerprise SQL Source and Lookup components, they were able to leverage and translate their SQL skills right away. Additionally, the Name Parser component was an unexpected bonus, which saved them additional development time. What would have taken at least a week with an in-house solution was now getting done in half a day.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
