ARMONK, N.Y., Sept.
28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced
that Clarient Global LLC ("Clarient"), a joint venture established
to transform client data and document management in the financial
services industry, has selected VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM
Cloud to continue to enhance its existing SoftLayer private cloud
implementation for its Clarient Entity Hub platform.
Clarient Entity Hub allows users to securely upload, maintain
and share information about legal entities through a secure,
easy-to-use interface. The platform automates the validation of
client data and documentation, providing users with greater
transparency and control, as well as improved risk management
capabilities.
With this new implementation, Clarient has enhanced its Clarient
Entity Hub application with VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud
running on bare metal servers. Through this private cloud, Clarient
will continue to improve its security, scale and flexibility while
achieving greater server density due to the ability to control and
manage the hypervisors.
In addition to this private cloud solution, which was
streamlined due to the strategic partnership between IBM and VMware
announced earlier this year, Clarient has integrated with IBM's
Business Process Management (BPM) to provide clients with even
greater data and process visibility and management.
"Clarient creates efficiency in the client entity data and
document management space by providing transparency, control and
standardization," said Natalia Kory,
CTO, Clarient. "As the Clarient Entity Hub community grows, we
continually assess ways to further enhance the solution workflow in
order to improve the overall client experience and increase
processing efficiencies. IBM's BPM solution, in conjunction
with the VMWare Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud solution, will help
Clarient to achieve these requirements while reducing the cost of
platform maintenance."
In addition to flexibility, the IBM Cloud provides Clarient with
a fully redundant, low latency network that allows for near
real-time communication between datacenter locations, making it
easier to keep replication sites in sync at no charge for network
usage.
"The innovative solution that Clarient provides financial
institutions around the world is increasingly critical, as the need
for accurate and compliant client entity data continues to grow,"
said Bill Karpovich, General
Manager, IBM Cloud Platform. "By leveraging a partnership with IBM
and VMware, Clarient is able to extend its global and controllable
infrastructure footprint."
"Our cloud partnership with IBM continues to grow and evolve as
we look to enable clients, such as Clarient, to solve the key
industry challenges," said Geoff
Waters, Vice President, Global Service Provider Channel,
VMware. "The Clarient Entity Hub is a new way to address the unique
requirements within the financial services sector and provide fast,
automated and accurate client entity data. We look forward to joint
success with IBM and enabling clients to continue to adopt the
cloud while preserving their existing investments."
With a global network of close to 50 cloud data centers in 17
countries spanning 6 continents, IBM is emerging as a top 3 player
in cloud across public, private and hybrid. In IDC's latest
Worldwide Semi-Annual Public Cloud Services Tracker, IBM is
ranked No. 2 in the overall server compute IaaS market. And in
June, Technology Business Research, Inc., in its Cloud Customer
Research Topical Report: New vs. Legacy Applications,
ranked IBM a leader in several categories including most widely
adopted cloud platform, highest in customer satisfaction, and
leader in enterprise adoption for application transformation
services.
