Banco Espírito Santo upgrades to Itanium for greater scalability in line with business needs.

Having originally used the Superdome for corporate data warehousing, Banco Espírito Santo then added a credit scoring environment with Fair Isaac’s Blaze application running more than 30 credit scoring models, providing notes to the branch network in real-time.

It has successfully migrated to a new credit scoring infrastructure that uses Superdome with IBM WebSphere MQ v6.0, which now supports HP-UX 11iV2 and achieves similar levels of functionality to those previously available on HP-UX 11i1 PA-RISC systems. WebSphere enables users to integrate their applications reliably and consistently, allowing them to leverage their existing software and hardware assets more effectively.
