Belgium's KBC has deployed middleware technology from SeeBeyond to integrate front and back office systems across the group and provide a direct connection to external partners and Euronext.
KBC is using SeeBeyond's eGate Integrator to integrate applications from vendors such as SAP, LoanIQ, Murex and Siebel Systems, as well as existing legacy applications running on its IBM mainframe.
Additionally, B2B integration has been achieved with external partners, including the National Bank of Belgium, which is being used for reporting and accessing centralised data and the Euronext stock exchange for settlement of securities transactions.
Bart Vanhaeren, senior systems integrator, EAI competence centre, KBC Bank & Insurance Group, says: "As we develop real-time services for our customers, the fact that we can integrate applications quickly and easily is one of our crucial success factors."
