In January 2012, the company has issued the 4.5.4. release of FORPOST system. The new release includes both technological innovations designed to optimize the maintenance of the system and functional add-ins providing the banks the possibility to expand the range of services.

 

 

The trends of globalization of banking business and geographical banks’ expansion to the other regions led to the need of fast implementation and adjustment of the system for work in new conditions. The need for both standardization and flexibility of business model of the bank in the certain country is increasing. The Forbis Company seeks to facilitate the process of integration and localization, while maintaining unification and versatility of internal business logic and banking regulations.

 

There were performed works on improvement of FORPOST system adaptation mechanisms and the changes were implemented to optimize the system in multicurrency mode and in a multilingual environment. There is provided the simultaneous support of different languages and national standards – date, numbers format, name spelling, etc. The multi-entity corporate structure is supported, while maintaining the principles and continuity of business processes accepted in the bank, and thus facilitating the use of single FORPOST system in the bank’s branches in territory of other countries.

 

There were implemented the changes in the data warehouse and reporting tools to optimize the preparation of mandatory reports in different countries.

 

 

Due to increased number of integration projects, the modern integration solution FORPOST*ESB Gate is provided in FORPOST 4.5.4. release.

 

Enterprise Service Bus (information highway) is a model of architecture of software packages used for development and implementation of interaction between related applications in a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

 

ESB is the software of business applications that enables communication between them.

 

In FORPOST*ESB Gate established industrial standards and protocols are used. Open Source products reduce the total cost of solution, scalability is ensured at all levels.
