TCS | BIAN: Powering purpose-driven, future-ready banks

In the race to stay ahead, provide best-in-class customer service, and meet ever increasing market demands, banks have bolted on digital capabilities in an ad hoc manner introducing considerable complexity into the underlying IT architecture. Today, most traditional banks operate with a complex, unmanageable IT architecture with duplicate systems and data impeding speed-to-market for new products and services. Increasingly inflexible legacy systems have resulted in business silos and monolithic applications that hinder agility and adversely impact the pace of key transformation initiatives.

To stay relevant, incumbent banks must foray into areas beyond traditional banking spaces by stepping into their customers’ lives at the right time with the right product. This will require banks to embrace purpose-driven business models through new partnerships with larger ecosystem partners, which in turn will require architectural readiness and plug-and-play integrations to enable ecosystem play. While banking channels are increasingly adopting digitalization to deliver beyond banking services, pain points around legacy architecture remain. In our view, to address these pain points, transition to purpose-driven ecosystem models and become future-ready, banks must adopt the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) standard. This article focuses on BIAN adoption trends and journeys.

ArchiMate’ Modeling Notation for the Financial Industry Reference Model: Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN)

This document provides guidance on how the ArchiMate Specification, a standard of The Open Group, can be used to exploit the value of the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) Financial Industry Reference Model.

It is designed to provide a guide to anyone involved or interested in how to manage the transition to a digital financial institution. It guides an Enterprise Architecture organization to develop an agile, lean, and stable banking architecture using the ArchiMate language and BIAN.

Archi Banking Group: Combining the BIAN Reference Model, ArchiMate’ Modeling Notation, and the TOGAF’ Framework

This Case Study is a fictitious example developed to illustrate the combined use of the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) Reference Model with the ArchiMate’ modeling notation and the TOGAF’ framework (both standards of The Open Group). The ArchiMate and TOGAF concepts used in this Case Study can be applied to different situations. The use of the BIAN Reference Model supports addressing typical financial industry concerns.

PNC Financial Services Group

The BIAN model fits perfectly in line with how we view enterprise architecture (EA) at PNC. One of the first steps we took as an organisation was to bring a business perspective to enterprise architecture. To us, technology is not just a collection of servers and software, but rather a set of technical solutions that are aligned to specific business capabilities and functions.

Asseco SEE

As a vendor that grew through acquisitions, we inherited a rich collection of applications that have their application specific interfaces. Applications that had similar scope ended up having their specific interfaces for essentially the same responsibilities. One of our strategic goals was to cut integration time and cost and over time achieve plug-and-play interoperability between different applications in our portfolio.
