Using AUP, one of the largest banks

Using AUP, one of the largest banks in Greece implemented a small to medium-scale project called the Integrated Desktop (ID). It was an important part of a large company-wide project that aimed to transition the company’s IT architecture from the aged client-server model to one using SOA concepts.

Inception
During inception, the team defined the project scope as follows:
■■A role-based integrated user desktop hosts private-banking applications.
■■The ID system automates daily tasks via global customer handling, exploiting the SOA-based parent project architecture and managing multiple and concurrent customer sessions.
■■The ID system prefetches customer information and shares it intelligently among different applications to eliminate redundancy and radically reduce the time users must spend to complete tasks.
