ATB Financial prevents change related outages

Taps Solidcore S3 Control to enforce change policy

ATB Financial, one of the largest financial institutions in Canada and the fastest growing bank in Canada, is implementing Solidcore’s S3 Control software to gain visibility over changes across its IT environment and prevent change related outages.  ATB is standardizing on Solidcore to increase its IT service availability and streamline change processes.

According to Michael Redeker, vice president and chief technology officer for ATB Financial, “Our IT infrastructure is at the heart of providing exceptional customer service, and as a leading financial institution we cannot afford to have unauthorized change compromise the availability of the network and systems that propel our financial services. Solidcore is the key to managing change across our IT environment, and we look forward to using the S3 Control product to verify that our IT change management best-practices are followed and unauthorized change is not allowed to occur on our critical systems.”

Solidcore's David Walker noted, “Rigorous demands are often placed on the IT group of a financial institution, which often translates into an increased number of file and configuration changes across the infrastructure, and a greater risk for unwanted change.  If you are not using Solidcore to detect and stop unwanted change, you are playing Russian Roulette with your IT infrastructure.  We are excited to see ATB Financial join a rapidly growing portfolio of customers that are eliminating change-related risks and outages with Solidcore’s real-time change control.”
