THE EQUATION EVOLUTION

BankFusion Equation – The Equation evolution
Building modern banking systems
Fast response times are essential in today’s fastmoving,
turbulent financial markets. And in tough
environments, banks and other financial institutions
need to evolve rapidly to take advantage of new
opportunities and out-perform the competition.
Misys BankFusion Equation can help you adapt
to the challenges and compete successfully.
It enables your business to take full advantage of
the architecture and development tools necessary
for a modern banking system.
This includes service-oriented architecture (SOA),
the industry-accepted method for integrating
applications and enhancing the functionality of
existing systems. In addition, BankFusion Equation
helps institutions deliver more efficient business
applications based on Java 2 Platform, Enterprise
Edition (J2EE) the leading environment for building
SOA systems.
BankFusion Equation – the latest
evolution
The latest version of BankFusion Equation takes this
approach to the next level by delivering reusable
components and re-architecting Equation into an
SOA environment. This ensures that we continue
to support our customers’ existing investment in
Equation while emphasising our own commitment
to BankFusion technology.
Why choose BankFusion Equation?
What makes BankFusion Equation different? It all
comes down to harnessing your business processes
to deliver real benefits. But while process models
are still the best way to formulate the business logic
of a financial institution, very few banks can translate
them into the applications that run the organisation.
That’s where BankFusion Equation has the
advantage.
It ensures that when you design new processes
and model the business logic of the organisation,
this translates into applications that boost
revenues, reduce costs and increase reaction
times to opportunities for growth. Importantly,
enabling a bank to improve its cost to income
ratio. BankFusion delivers all this and more.
Increase revenues
The path to growth should be clear and easy to
navigate. With BankFusion Equation, you can:
• Launch new products quickly through reusable
processes and services
• Design processes tailored to your requirements,
using a standard mechanism, ensuring easy
internal rollout as well as consistent and efficient
customer interaction
• Distribute cost-effectively to other channels and
partners, including agencies and retailers
BankFusion Equation helps institutions deliver more efficient business
applications based on Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) the
leading environment for building SOA systems.

BankFusion Equation – The Equation evolution
The drive for growth needs to be matched by a relentless focus on
efficiency and productivity. BankFusion Equation delivers solid support
for both approaches.
Respond rapidly to changing demands
Misys BankFusion Equation supports businesses in
pursuit of new opportunities and helps them
respond quickly to changes in the market:
• Reduce development turn-around by using
common components and services
• Auto-generate Java code using the BankFusion
Equation Workbench development tool, which
also conforms to proven Equation standards
• Include or change the bank’s own rules and
processes rapidly
Reduce operational cost
The drive for growth needs to be matched by
a relentless focus on efficiency and productivity.
BankFusion Equation delivers solid support for
both approaches:
• Increase user productivity by automating
processes and reducing manual steps and errors
• Lower development, integration and support costs
by standardising and automating these activities
Mitigate risk
By applying process discipline to everyday banking
activities, BankFusion Equation minimises risk
across the organisation:
• Reduce risk of errors by applying governance
during transaction entry
• Capitalise on existing environment and skills –
BankFusion Equation is still a standard Equation
upgrade
• Require developers to adhere to proven
BankFusion Equation standards
• Take advantage of Misys maintenance and
support for all services
The advantage of BankFusion Equation Workbench composite services
BankFusion Equation – delivering
value today and tomorrow
BankFusion Equation builds on three decades of
Misys banking expertise. It means that you can
design processes and deploy applications based on
a solid foundation of financial services experience.
Organisations can capitalise on the existing depth
of functionality while APIs can be published as
web services. These combine to form a library of
common components representing more than
30 years of banking expertise from which new
composite services can be built.
Respond rapidly to changing market
conditions and new opportunities
Today’s fast-moving and turbulent financial
marketplace demands an equally agile and rapid
response from banks and other financial institutions.
With the BankFusion Equation Workbench you can
respond faster than ever to challenges and
opportunities.
First and foremost, BankFusion Equation
Workbench is intuitive and simple to use. You can
build new services – as well as define your own
screen-flow. A service can be a single API, a
combination of existing APIs, or your own greenfield
service. Each service that is built using the
BankFusion Equation Workbench automatically
conforms to proven Equation standards,
maintaining system integrity while respecting your
technology environment.

BankFusion Equation – The Equation evolution
“The benefits of BankFusion Equation are clear. Your business –
and your customers – can take advantage of a new service based
on existing functionality fine-tuned to your own processes and
business rules.”
When a service is deployed within the BankFusion
Equation Desktop, the user can define the screenflow.
This includes the presentation order of the
fields and which fields are mandatory, optional or
defaulted. The user can also apply the level of
validation – in addition to Equation standard
validation – that is required.
The BankFusion Equation Workbench provides
you with the flexibility you need to respond rapidly
to changing markets. Users have access to the
common components (APIs) and can include the
organisation’s own business rules. Examples include
making fields mandatory for input so that all critical
data is captured, or making products available in
certain currencies, so the end user can only select
from a list of valid options.
Here, again, BankFusion Equation Workbench
delivers a clear, uncluttered user experience. All
of these actions can be completed swiftly using
wizards, tick boxes and drag-and-drop functionality.
The BankFusion Equation Workbench also saves
valuable IT time. Once the service has been built,
it automatically generates the code and packages
the service so it can be installed using the standard
BankFusion Equation installation procedure.
Clear advantage
The benefits of BankFusion Equation are clear.
Your business – and your customers – can take
advantage of a new service based on existing
functionality fine-tuned to your own processes
and business rules. As well as being completely
integrated with your existing Equation environment,
the new service can also be consumed by other
SOA applications and workflow engines.
