Leading Global Investment Banking, Securities, and Investment Management Firm

Development of Expense Management System

The client is a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm that provides a wide range of services worldwide to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals.

Situation

In the fast-paced competitive global work environment, where cost savings on internal processes represent a competitive advantage, the client was in need of a system that would provide complete, up-to-date expense information. The sheer size and global presence of the organization made it difficult to collect and control this information without a web-based system in place.

Solution

With the cost of traditional web application development prohibitively high, the client turned to CTI for its XMLSP™ technology. A project team of PowerBuilder developers was quickly trained to use XMLSP, DW2Java and XMLSP Studio tools.   

System Highlights and Results

With single DB2 UDB 7.1 warehouse database and WebLogic Application Server, EMS serves more then 900 users worldwide. First production release of EMS was delivered in few months. DW2Java converter provided the client with compact and effective J2EE components ready to use. 

But even more important than the cost, is the increased functionality that XMLSP provides. The strength of the new XMLSP Studio™ shortens delivery of new version EMS substantially and plays an important role in enabling us to provide a more personalized user experience
