关于客户
客户是欧洲最大的私人银行之一。该银行已停止开发新的大型机应用程序，并通过自然减员的方式将其大型机开发人员数量减少了约 30%。但是，该银行的大型机开发需求正在增加。新旧分布式、Web 和移动应用程序对银行大型机应用程序和数据的使用正在增加。开发人员不再构建新的 COBOL 应用程序，而是必须不断修改大型机代码以协助非大型机应用程序。银行的大型机应用程序对于其所做的一切以及客户和监管机构所期望的一切都至关重要。大型机测试/QA 必须严格而快速。如果测试过程发现了问题，则必须快速准确地诊断、修复并再次测试。
挑战
这家银行是欧洲最大的私人银行之一，正面临着一个常见的 IT 管理挑战。该银行已停止开发新的大型机应用程序，并通过自然减员的方式将其大型机开发人员数量减少了约 30%。然而，该银行的大型机开发需求正在增加。新的和现有的分布式、Web 和移动应用程序对银行大型机应用程序和数据的使用正在增加。开发人员不再构建新的 COBOL 应用程序，而是必须不断修改大型机代码以协助非大型机应用程序。银行不能永远等待编码更改完成。金融服务市场的竞争非常激烈，无论是为了客户的移动体验还是为了员工的新功能，收益时间都非常重要，并且给大型机软件开发生命周期带来了压力。该生命周期必须生成无缺陷的代码。银行的大型机应用程序对于其所做的一切以及客户和监管机构所期望的一切都至关重要。大型机测试/QA 必须严格而快速。如果测试过程发现问题，则必须快速准确地诊断、修复并再次测试。
解决方案
据 RC 介绍，该解决方案采用了 Compuware 工具（如 Topaz、Xpediter、File-AID 和 Abend-AID）的可视化功能，为开发人员提供了直观的洞察力，可以洞察应用程序关系、运行时行为和编程逻辑流中的问题。以前需要几个小时才能找到的问题，现在使用这些可视化工具，开发人员只需几分钟就能找到，这些工具还有助于开发人员提前了解编码更改的影响，以避免重新编码和重新测试。在一个例子中，由于能够以图形方式可视化大型机应用程序在高级生产中的运行时活动并“深入”到详细视图，RC 的团队注意到批处理过程的完成时间越来越晚。如果这种趋势继续下去，该过程将无法在开门营业前完成，这将给银行带来麻烦。使用 Compuware 的 Topaz 进行程序分析，RC 的团队将注意力集中在每晚重复数十万次的排序程序调用上。一个简单的代码修复将这个严重的性能瓶颈减少到一次调用。

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.”
