Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) has integrated the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, becoming the latest bank in the Middle East to enhance its core banking system.
As part of the deal with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), the bank has also deployed a set of HPE Aruba Networking wireless solutions to improve its connectivity and mobility capabilities as well as overall network security, HPE said in a statement.
Through the integration, the bank is aiming to simplify operations, make scalability more seamless and enhance the overall user experience. HPE Aruba Network Edge Services Platform (ESP) is a cloud-native architecture that offers automated network management, integrated edge-to-cloud security, and predictive AI-powered insights. Its services will allow DIB can centrally manage its network.
Previously in June, DIB launched a new digital banking solution, DIB ‘alt’ with the aim of integrating all of the bank’s digital offerings and capabilities into one single platform.
Speaking on the latest announcement, Obaid Al Shamsi, Chief Operating Officer at DIB said: “In partnership with HPE, we are delivering an easy-to-use solution with cloud-experience in a secure and compliant environment. As a result, we’re not just enhancing our operational efficiency, but also contributing towards the UAE’s economic diversification and industrial transformation.”
Ahmad Alkhallafi, managing director for UAE, Hewlett Packard Enterprise added: “We are proud to support DIB in their efforts to provide the highest standard of customer experience. With HPE GreenLake and the HPE Aruba Networking secure Wi-Fi platform, DIB will boost their ability to offer customers unique services, by providing their employees with the tools, seamless connectivity, and compute they need to strengthen collaboration between the teams. This will drive long-term efficiency and growth for the bank as they create new satisfying experiences.”
