Financial services are characterized by highly sensitive data, high cost of downtime, lots of small locations that are difficult to support and a very wide range of different server-based applications using different access protocols. IGEL thin clients excel in this environment due to outstanding Smartcard support, class-leading remote management software and the broadest range of digital services in the industry.

IGEL Yields Big Dividends
Different user scenarios, standardized management – Deutsche Börse Systems uses IGEL thin clients on the trading floor, for system monitoring and at its international serversites.
Whenever a stockbroker determines the fair market price of a security on the German Stock Exchange (Deutsche Börse) in Frankfurt, he has to be able to depend 100% on the IT system. In the worst case, critical failures can bring trading to stand still. Preventing such risks has been the job of Deutsche Börse Systems AG (DBS) since 1997. With over 1,000 employees, DBS is responsible for all of the IT systems used by the world’s largest stock exchange organization. In doing so, the DBS not only designs, builds and operates the technological infrastructure of the German Stock Exchange but also looks after 16 other exchanges around the world. A special focus of its operations in Frankfurt is ensuring the availability of end devices on the trading floor. It is there and in other application areas that thin clients ensure a secure, reliable and efficient computing environment.

Server-based computing pioneer Sparkasse Krefeld saves up to 75 percent of workstation costs for PCs with IGEL Thin Clients. Thin Client leasing pays for itself even in the case of premature replacement investments.
The Sparkasse Krefeld is viewed as one of the pioneers of server-based computing. As one of the first institutions from the German Association of Savings Banks to do so, the Sparkasse Krefeld, with 1,850 employees and a balance sheet total of £ 5,029 milliard (2005), has been using a terminal server since the middle of the 1990’s to make IT applications available centrally. Furthermore, the Sparkasse has been pursuing a successful Thin Client strategy since 2003 in order to minimise the support and leasing costs for its 56 branches and six self-service centres on a sustained basis.

The company represents the competence centre for property, movable property and car leasing of the BAWAG P.S.K., one of the largest Austrian high-street banks. BAWAG P.S.K. commits itself to a high quality level with binding contract standards. Thus the private car leasing contracts, for example, were awarded the quality seal “Leasing OK!” from the Association of Austrian Leasing Companies (Verband österreichischer Leasinggesellschaftes – VÖL). But internally, the leasing experts also have a good sense of quality and profitability, as the latest IT migration project proves.
