Resona HD turned to Resona-Digital-I, Inc. (ReDi), a cofounded IT company by Resona HD and IBM Japan. A significant initiative taken by Resona HD involved planning a proof-of-concept experiment that applies AI models to AML/CFT measures, specifically targeting transaction monitoring. This helped identify suspicious activities like money laundering and the funding of terrorism, thereby mitigating associated risks. IBM Fusion HCI helped Resona HD leverage a flexible infrastructure without the burden of constructing and managing it.
Using Fusion HCI enabled faster deployment, reduced labor demands and enhanced compatibility among components. It also helped reduce operational overhead due to vendor-validated software stacks and deliver better resource optimization—leading to higher scalability for future expansion. Both parties emphasized the significance of maintaining stable operations and exploring other opportunities to use the container platform. IBM will continue to serve as an ongoing collaborator to help ensure a more secured and efficient integration of additional applications onto the established foundation. The partnership benefited both IBM and Resona HD by delivering superior technological advancements tailored explicitly toward resolving critical banking industry pain points.
Resona Holdings, Inc. (Resona HD) (link resides outside of ibm.com) wanted to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism and build trust. IBM and Resona HD collaborated to develop pre-integrated hardware and software components tailored for container environments using Red Hat® OpenShift® and IBM Fusion HCI. The partnership benefited IBM and Resona HD by delivering superior technological advancements tailored to resolve critical banking industry pain points.
