First framework with true EJB Enterprise Architecture Java 99, Olympia, November 17 1999: Sun Microsystems has delivered its most powerful endorsement yet of EON Technologies' BankFrame product, in a move which is certain to boost interest in the Dublin software company. EON has long been involved in SunConnect, and the new announcement establishes them as one of Sun's 'preferred partners', especially in the financial services marketplace. "EON has been a founder partner in the SunConnect architecture," comments Dermot Duggan, SunConnect Global Program Manager, Sun Microsystems, "which underpins our confidence in the capability of their software to provide scaleable and flexible solutions for core banking." Hardly a major bank is not now investigating the benefits of component-based systems, in stark contrast to the caution of just a year or so ago. EON is working with banks large and small in Europe, the USA and South Africa, helping them to exploit the potential of EJB banking architectures. BankFrame is a complete EJB component offering for retail banks, covering architecture,methodologies, component sets, and implementation tools. It covers every area of banking applciations, from core system processes to teller functions, call centre management to loan processing, and is designed to offer cross-channel functionality (internet, telephone, branch, PDA, mobile) with maximum reuse of components and code. "We have worked with EON consistently over the last 3 years," continues Duggan, "and have seen a major increase in interest in Java component based approaches to enterprise scale banking solutions such as BankFrame. As SunConnect continues to gain market visiblity, EON's BankFrame will be a major part of our offering to the market." EON claims BankFrame to be the first true EJB Enterprise Architecture framework, and it has been SunConnect compliant since the early days of Sun's architectures program. With Sun's ongoing support, EON now intends to develop BankFrame further, to address the needs of the corporate and wholesale banking markets, including insurance and trading. "There's no question that the banking market has reached a stability and a maturity with regard to EJB investment." comments EON's CEO, Jim Callan. " Successful developments such as our own EJB Banking benchmark have helped to illustrate the scalability and robustness of Java banking applications. This additional approval from the SunConnect program reflects the rapid growth in acceptance of solutions like BankFrame."
