Datavision partners with IBM

Datavision has partnered with IBM to completely migrate its web-based core
banking product DataMate to an IBM platform.

The DataMate core banking solution helps address key challenges the
co-operative banking sector in India faces such as customer relationship
management through a unified view of the customer's transactions, leveraging and
achieving optimum results from existing IT investments and attracting and
retaining customers through customized offerings amongst others.

Previously, the product was maintained on an open source freeware application
server and Oracle database platform. However, in order to improve its
performance, scalability and reliability metrics, Datavision decided to migrate
the product to an end-to-end IBM platform comprising of IBM WebSphere
application server and IBM DB2 database. The solution provides banks a
consolidated view of their customers across all service delivery channels. It
provides user definable validations and charges, multi-language support and
interfaces to various channels like ATM, payment gateways, interactive voice
response technology (IVRs), point of sales (POS) devices and mobiles.

“Co-operative banks are seen as the primary financing instrument for the
credit requirement in the rural sector. Consequently, they are under constant
pressure to innovate their service offerings to meet the unique demands of local
rural customers. Our skills and insights in the financial and banking domain,
including microfinance and IBM's proven reputation in the banking

industry will help facilitate lower TOC.
