WindFire Gains Momentum with ECM Solutions for Banking Industry in Japan

Production-class system deploys in seven major banks

December 10, 2004 - San Diego, CA—WindFire Technology announced that its Xtorm® enterprise information management (EIM) applications have been selected for deployment in four major Japanese banks. Components of the suite were sold and deployed by Alliance Systems, WindFire's Asian partner, in cooperation with major system integrators and resellers in Japan, including ISID, LG-Hitachi, and Hitachi.

The new customers include four of the five largest banks in Japan: UFJ Bank, Michinoku Bank, Shokusan Bank, and Tokyo Bank. Xtorm ECM and BPM applications are specifically designed for production-level transaction processing environments. Highly scalable, reliable, and secure, the applications are capable of processing millions of transactions per day to meet the requirements of large, complex environments like in the case of these banks.

"WindFire's ECM and BPM components and the framework dramatically exceeded our competition's offerings," said SungGu Cho, CEO of Alliance Systems. "In fact, our banking clients' key requirements were performance and scalability; Xtorm won on every account by a sizable measure, and at a significantly lower cost."

Deploying business process and content management with high-volume imaging components, these major banks utilize WindFire's virtual repository framework to ensure high performance processing, storage and retrieval capabilities.

WindFire's Xtorm EIM solution combines enterprise information integration, enterprise content integration, enterprise content management, and business process management capabilities. Developed on a J2EE, XML and Unicode foundation, it is an integrated, modular solution designed for organizations that are looking for complete, off-the-shelf solutions or for specific software capabilities that can be embedded into existing business applications and supports small-, medium- and high-volume transaction requirements.
