Virtual Assurance System Technology

Banking may not be rocket science, but it sure feels like it sometimes. The tolerance for any errors is extremely low. This is why our industry is obsessed with testing. Unit testing. Performance testing. Security testing. If it touches money, we need to test it. If it passes, we’ll test it again later.

Testing requires an investment in resources like hardware, software, networks, configuration setup, and man hours. Plenty of man hours. And nobody will argue that the investment isn’t worth it. But as companies grow larger this activity becomes less palatable. After all, most companies want their smartest people focused on strategic market-driven initiatives. Not testing.

How can SIT help?

Using our Virtual Assurance Server Technology (VAST), we can quickly set up and pre-configure internal software and hardware to simulate your banking system for external testing on our premises.

Worried about privacy? We’ve got that covered, too. Our InfoCloak product scrambles all private information and leaves the financial details, product numbers, and account numbers untouched. You also have the power to specify exactly how you want things scrambled. All access is provided by secure communication.

So if you’re having issues configuring and deploying test environments within your organization, consider SIT’s VAST. It won’t negate the need for testing. It just makes it easier.

What is VAST?

VAST is a cloud-based virtual banking system replicated from your specific Portfolio Plus platform. VAST environments will allow you to create and test new banking products, modify existing products, work with new regulatory modifications, and experiment with business processes. And it’s hosted on SIT’s premises so if something goes wrong, SIT has easy access to make any corrections. In addition, VAST resources can be expanded or reduced as per your needs.
