„The project of implementing a SAM reporting system at LBBW started a year before the final go.
One of the most important topics was to deal with requirements of the workers council.
The solution should not use any personalized data. This requirement has been fulfilled on short notice.
The bank has strong performance and security requirements.
Therefore many stress tests were carried out in different environments.
These tests prove that Software Management Suite does not put
any pressure on performance. LBBW’s responsible SAM managers
speak of a very straightforward and uncomplicated implementation.
Software Management Suite currently runs in 19 different IT settings.
One of them is Terminal Services. Stress tests for this sensible
environment went without complications as well.
With no errors during the test phase and also afterwards,
LBBW declared Software Management Suite a stable product
which meets all requirements of LBBW‘s complex IT environment.“
