Client Benefits
Eastern Bank Union Investment wanted to provide their help-desk personnel with registration and password-free access to a business-critical solution for managing electronic payment transactions disputes, exceptions and adjustments. This posed a challenge, as most solutions were COTS (commercial-off-the shelf) products with limited support for integrating with Eastern Bank’s Microsoft-based security ecosystem. Additionally, helpdesk personnel credentials as well as other confidential information were not to be exposed to any of the bank’s products. Finally, the Identity and Access Management solution had to be hardened in order to adhere with security compliance requirements for entities operating in the financial sector.
Atricore’s identity and access management products and professional services made it possible for Eastern Bank to improve customer satisfaction by providing their helpdesk staff with seamless and secure access to services for managing disputes, exceptions and adjustments, all without compromising the security of the organization.
  • Enhanced, streamlined customer experience with faster turnaround time with dealing with disputes for electronic payment transactions.
  • Improved security of on-boarded third-party solution, minimizing the potential for attacks.
  • Improved by an order of magnitude helpdesk response turn around time by bridging E-Banking and Corporate IT ecosystems.
  • Reduced time-frame and associated costs with on-boarding future business critical solutions with limited or no support for integration with Eastern Bank’s security ecosystem and adhere to compliance requirements.
