Today, dozens of internal applications and hundreds of external systems and entities have to exchange messages in a reliable, scalable and time-critical environment.
- Applications, systems and entities are using a wide variety of standards, formats, protocols and versions. Incompatibility is the standard of the day.
- Messaging is undergoing rapid changes, even where standards exist, e .g. SWIFT, FIN, XML, ISO20022 etc. New message types, new applications or business entities must be integrated in no time.
- Regulators and market infrastructures require far-reaching changes which have to be adapted quickly and within hard deadlines.
- Messaging solutions have grown historically over time into complex and rigid legacy infrastructures which are lacking any flexibility and manoeuvrability.
