Financial Services for the Middle Office - Business Transaction Management in action

Any of these issues sound familiar?

• Can you tell the difference between "business normal" and "business abnormal"?
• Do you need to know if production is verying towards disaster long before a customer is impacted
• Would you like real-time 360° situational awareness?
• Do you sometimes feel like a Wall St. Zombie, losing sleep with nightmares about compliance?
• Do you wake up at night with cold sweats worrying about whether a trade will get misrouted, a message lost, or worse we won’t clear by end of day?

Nastel AutoPilot with its CEP engine and its unique policies for defining "business normal" and "business abnormal" can help you.

In today's tough economy, the challenges of mergers, acquisitions, consolidation and cost cutting are compounded with the introduction of new protocols and regulations. This increases the strain on people, processes and systems as you work to integrate processes and systems for improved competitiveness, better SLA performance and risk management.

In addition, customer retention is increasingly challenging. Your customers expect an efficient, seamless user experience and have little tolerance for discontinuity across the multiple channels such as the branch, ATM, on-line banking system, and your call center.
