Application Performance in online banking
The online channel is rapidly becoming one of the most important means of communication for financial institutions.
The Internet is used in servicing clients for online banking, placing trades, applying for mortgages, and so on. Intranet to communicate with local branch offices. In both these environments, applications need to be 100% reliable, website performance has to be excellent, and availability 100%.
Your application performance nightmare?
A situation that you absolutely want to avoid, is installing a new Web-based application for a bank with many local offices spread over the country, and discover that it’s not performing. A major Dutch bank had this problem. It resulted in local bank offices having to close their doors because they couldn’t help their customers. The bank couldn’t re-install the old application, but the new application didn’t do the job. Going on and off for no reason. At least, the reason couldn’t be chased by traditional application monitoring tools, as they couldn’t show what the end users experienced.
Excellent application performance is essential for your online services
