A Major International Financial Services Institution Uses the Information Gleaned From IBM's Social Network Analysis Solution to Streamline Its IT Support and Infrastructure Operations | 2008-01-01 | IBM |
| The financial services institution's operational structure comprised three separate divisions each of which had different requirements in terms of IT hardware, software and support. Using a central IT infrastructure to meet such a diverse set of needs meant that design and engineering were performed at the lowest common denominator, creating a situation where the investment bank division, which required speedier response times and a higher level of service, was supplementing the central IT support group with its own auxiliary IT support. The institution turned to IBM ODIS - a partnership between IBM Research and IBM Global Business Services - to devise a solution that would help improve mission clarity, quality of service and timeliness of response on a cost-neutral basis.
