BIAN IN THE ERA OF OPEN BANKING
CC&C’s leadership position in BIAN certification training, adoption, and implementation is helping banks to fast-track BIAN journey.
Challenges in Financial Services Today
How CC&C Helps Banks Move to a BIAN Aligned Architecture
Current State
- Fragmented enterprise landscape
- Duplicated capabilities
- Point-to-point API’s with no reuse
- Control gaps and regulatory risk
- Slow time to market
- High cost of change
- High operational expense
Step 1: Map and Classify
- Define BIAN-based Service Landscape and map applications
- Classify API’s and identify degree of BIAN alignment
- Identify duplication of capabilities
- Improve interoperability and reuse
- Improve change impact analysis
Step 2: Align and Wrap
- Leverage BIAN’s Wireframes and First Order Connections to group capabilities
- Leverage BIAN API’s to expose standard interfaces and abstract complexity
- Enables identification of capabilities to invest vs retire
Step 3: Rationalize
- Rationalize capabilities to BIAN Service Domains
- Reusable BIAN-aligned API’s
- Alignment to other banks and vendors who have adopted BIAN
- Reduced cost of change and operational expense
How Does BIAN Deliver Benefit
It is Canonical
The business function component designs BIAN specifies are standard for every use and user. The business role or purpose of each and every component can represent the systems needs of any type of bank, and can be consistently interpreted in any deployment
It is Stable Over Time
The BIAN model defines what each component does but does not attempt to define how it should do it. As a result, the BIAN blueprint and its component boundaries are extremely stable over time
It can be adopted incrementally
Systems built aligning to the model can be integrated alongside legacy systems and adopted incrementally. If well engineered, the internal workings of an application module can also evolve to include new practices and approaches as long as they keep to its original and discrete business role
It Enables Agility
By partitioning a bank’s functionality, data and interfaces into discrete self-contained service centers and breaking down monolithic design, BIAN enables banks to innovate and get to production much faster by quarantining change impacts
It Supports Composability
When solution providers and banks align with the model, banks can more easily mix and match system components developed by different providers and conversely solution providers can develop systems that can be more easily integrated in multiple banks.
It Helps Eliminate Complexity
Because the BIAN components are designed to support discrete and autonomous business functions, system development can better avoid creating the systems overlaps, duplication and redundancies that plague traditional solution designs
