Multi-Channel Service Architecture Delivers "Big Bank" Solutions With Community Banking Intimacy

Overview Synovus Financial Services is among the leading diversified financial services organizations in the U.S. Synovus needed a technology strategy that would support our growth objectives while enhancing our ability to deliver 'High touch' products and services. SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) concepts seemed relevant to our needs but, given our lean budget and diverse application portfolio, SOA appeared to be beyond our reach. To support its growth and service objectives, the Synovus IT team envisioned a tiered service-based architecture. The design consisted of a multi-channel middle tier connecting a myriad of backend systems to customizable, user-facing applications. Each backend system would be service-enabled, providing a single, unified interface for all core application components.
