Liferay based Portal for a Leading Global Financial Company

Company Overview

Business Challenges faced

CIGNEX Datamatics Solution

The client is one of the world’s largest financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small- and middle-market businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk management products and services. The client has over 55 million customers, approximately 5,500 retail banking offices and 18,000 ATMs and an award-winning online banking with 29 million active users.

The client’s existing portal with various applications, was built over the period of time, as a result; portal and applications were hosted on different application frameworks and were managed by different owners with their specific IT tools. This resulted into:

• Disparate systems

o Prevented collaboration amongst the members for sharing information

• Inconsistent look-and-feel

o Lacked cohesive user experience

• Overlapping functionality

o Features were replicated across systems

• High maintenance costs and administration overheads

o Due to multiple platforms supporting multiple technologies and tools

The client wanted to develop an open source based portal (adopting Open Source technology as part of corporate’s strategy) which can create an open, collaborative culture combined with technology to enable a new generation of markets technology implementation in Asia Pacific region and at the same time reduce risks, complexity, and costs.

On understanding the client’s business challenges and requirements, CIGNEX Datamatics recommended the adoption of Liferay Portal solution. Liferay, being an Open Source Portal solution, provides the following benefits:

• No upfront license fee

o Liferay charges its customers adopting Enterprise Edition a flexible Annual Support fee, based on the level of support required by its clients

• Flexible with the freedom to develop

o Liferay customers have access to the complete code base to customize existing code as well as develop modules around the core functionality offered

• Shared functionality in Liferay Community

o Option to contribute to the Liferay code base by sharing functionality developed by Liferay customers that are currently unavailable and have universal appeal. This ensures reduction in time and cost to deploy Liferay Portals

• Access to Developers

o As Liferay has been developed on Java technologies, Liferay customers do not need to invest into expensive platform specialists to deploy their solution

• Out Of Box (OOB) functionality

• Highly Scalable & Reusable across multiple brands and businesses

o Huge reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – in excess of 76% over traditional, proprietary Portal solutions

The client decided on Liferay 6.0 based on its service oriented & model view architecture, cost effectiveness, support for extended technology stack and CIGNEX Datamatics as the system integration partner (Liferay’s platinum partner and partner of the year award in 2010).
