Case Study: Mizuho Bank

Fintech Consultants was engaged by a leading financial institution to provide ongoing technical due diligence on a multi-million pound market data development programme.

The programme under assessment was being delivered by a consortium of suppliers based both onshore and offshore. After significant costs overruns and functional shortcomings over an extended period, we were engaged to provide the end client with an objective assessment of the technology architecture and delivery. The brief was subsequently extended to include advice on specific mitigation strategies designed to bring the programme back on track commercially and functionally.

The technical environment embraced a complex suite of applications covering middleware, database technologies and highly interactive web applications. Technologies included BEA WebLogic Server, Java/J2EE, Vitria BusinessWare, Sybase, XML, XSLT.
