Bank Management as Software-as-a-Service

zeb.control runs ready for use in the AWS Cloud, operated and monitored by zeb. You manage your institution, while we take care of the infrastructure, updates, and availability.

Why SaaS

Less Operations, More Management

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offers significant benefits by increasing flexibility, enabling the use of the latest technological developments without additional investment in your own infrastructure, and reducing operating costs at the same time. 

Our zeb.control software is therefore primarily provided as a SaaS solution and tailored to the specific requirements of your institution to ensure a high level of scalability, security, and efficiency.

“Software-as-a-Service is more than just a trend. It offers maximum flexibility and efficiency with minimal effort. That is why zeb consistently relies on SaaS solutions to support your success.”

Services

What zeb Takes Care of and How You Benefit

Benefit from our all-inclusive Software-as-a-Service package:

Ready to Go

We set up your zeb.control environments in a dedicated cloud instance and configure the runtime environment to match your modules.

Your benefit: shorter implementation projects and no need to procure hardware.

Fully Managed

zeb operates the software in its own AWS account in accordance with agreed service levels, including monitoring, patches, releases, backups, and disaster recovery.

Your benefit: reliable calculation runs in near real time, without manual intervention.

Flexibly Scalable

At quarter-end, for stress tests or simulations, we can provide additional computing capacity at short notice. Self-service options are available for environments and job scheduling.

Your benefit: You can respond quickly to new business requirements.

Predictable Costs

Instead of maintaining your own servers and operations teams, you pay [specify pricing model, e.g. a base fee plus usage-based computing resources].

Your benefit: lower operating costs compared to running the software in-house, with full cost transparency.

Project Example 

Credit Risk Simulation: From 12 Hours to 10 Minutes

The use of big data and cloud technologies (e.g. AWS Cloud) as the basis for financial calculation engines is groundbreaking and beneficial in every respect.

Ziel
01 Initial Situation

New MaRisk requirements called for faster risk reporting. Each Monte Carlo simulation took more than 12 hours, with one run per month and 16 runs at quarter-end. Additional hardware would have reduced the runtime by only half while tripling the costs.

Ziel
02 Solution

A cloud-native, highly parallelized calculation engine based on Apache Spark, running in the AWS Cloud on up to 72 nodes with 2,500 cores. Operated as SaaS by zeb and AWS, with seamless migration of the existing system.

Ziel
03 Result

With zeb.control as a SaaS solution in the AWS Cloud, a simulation run now takes just 10 minutes instead of 12 hours, with computing costs of less than USD 20. This enables scenarios to be calculated several times a day as needed instead of in overnight batch runs, reducing the reporting process by 10 to 14 days per quarter.
