SID Global Solutions Drives Banking Innovation with BIAN Partnership and SAMi Digital Asset Marketplace
SID Global Solutions
18 November 2024
As a pioneer in the digital transformation of the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) industry, SID Global Solutions (SIDGS) is excited to announce a series of impactful advancements through our ongoing partnership with the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN). In addition to collaborating on the revolutionary Coreless Banking Initiative, SIDGS has leveraged its SAMi Digital Asset Marketplace to accelerate the transformation of traditional banking processes, offering new pathways for growth, customer engagement, and operational efficiency.
SIDGS’s Commitment to Banking Transformation
Over the last decade, SIDGS has worked alongside leading global banks to transform core operations through distributed architectures, API-driven frameworks, and cloud services. As banks navigate today’s dynamic digital landscape, SIDGS has consistently delivered forward-thinking solutions to drive seamless digital transformation and application modernization.
A key component of our approach is SAMi, a groundbreaking digital asset marketplace that empowers banks to expand their digital reach on a cloud-agnostic, multi-tenant platform. With SAMi, banking institutions can enhance customer adoption, develop strategic fintech partnerships, and introduce innovative products on a secure, user-centric platform. These capabilities allow banks to adapt to evolving market demands quickly, offering a suite of customizable, next-generation products.
BIAN Partnership: Driving Standardization and Composability
In our quest to advance industry standards and improve interoperability across systems, SIDGS became an active member of BIAN, contributing expertise to develop a global architectural framework. This framework supports banks in building scalable, customer-centric services that can be deployed across various applications with ease.
BIAN’s core framework focuses on:
Service Domains: Standardized, microservice-based interfaces to simplify interactions.
Composable Architecture: A flexible model that allows banks to assemble modular services and orchestrate them into unique offerings.
Reuse and Scalability: Enabling banks to deploy standard service domains, reducing development time and facilitating innovation.
Coreless Banking Initiative: Creating a Future of Adaptable, Personalized Banking
SIDGS has played a leading role in developing a Proof of Concept (POC) for BIAN’s Coreless Banking Initiative. This fourth iteration, known as Coreless Banking 4.0, was created in collaboration with BIAN members, including Wells Fargo, Salesforce, IBM, and Zafin. The initiative harnesses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and API-driven models to identify and address product gaps, anticipate customer needs, and provide targeted, personalized solutions for banking clients.
The POC uses SAMi’s API catalog to showcase a catalog of APIs essential for modernizing banking processes and to demonstrate how banks can effectively adapt BIAN’s framework. By integrating standardized service domains, SAMi allows banks to leverage a digital asset marketplace that strengthens customer engagement while ensuring a secure, standards-compliant approach.
Unveiling the “SAMi-BIAN Starter Pack”
SIDGS offers a pre-built solution called the “SAMi-BIAN Starter Pack.” This API catalog aligns with BIAN’s standard Service Domains and gives banks a robust foundation to adopt a standards-based approach. With this starter pack, banks can explore the benefits of a composable, API-first architecture and accelerate the transition toward a more efficient, customer-focused business model.
The advancements achieved through the Coreless Banking Initiative and the SAMi platform will be highlighted at the upcoming BIAN Annual Summit, taking place in the City of London on November 19th and 20th. SIDGS is honored to showcase this groundbreaking work, demonstrating the potential of a standardized, composable banking architecture in revolutionizing the BFSI sector.
SID Global Solutions is committed to reshaping the future of banking. Our work with BIAN and the development of the SAMi platform exemplify our dedication to empowering banks to adapt, innovate, and deliver unmatched value to their customers.
