National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has selected IBM (NYSE:IBM) for Business Continuity and Resiliency Services (BCRS) to ensure uninterrupted services and protection of crucial data in the event of a disruption. The new agreement enables the bank to meet the stringent resiliency requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan and reduce the need for split-second decision making during an emergency.

The National Bank of Pakistan is the largest commercial bank operating in the country. It recently redefined its role and has moved from a public sector organization into a modern commercial bank.

Similar to many institutions its size, NBP did not have the resources to maintain and manage a facility in another geographic location, so the company looked to IBM to consolidate its centralised servers from different locations around the country, to one centralised server.

"National Bank of Pakistan ITD took a landmark initiative in June 2011 to consolidate all the twelve regional centers into a centralized location. To mitigate the risks of having all the data in a centralised environment and to have proper disaster recovery and business continuity we selected IBM BCRS. We selected the vendor that has the relevant expertise and capability to provide business continuity services required by EBS" said Mr. Mahmood Siddiqui, CIO of NBP.

The IBM solution will equip NBP with an improved processing capability, enable the bank to run its core banking and payment solutions applications with a round the clock availability and allow the Bank to the meet challenges of any site issues through a disaster recovery setup. IBM will also ensure a highly available IT infrastructure as well as providing NBP a Disaster Recovery Site – as mandated by the State Bank of Pakistan.

Today’s marketplace is defined by intense competition, consolidation, globalization and increased government intervention all contributing to a more challenging environment for banks to operate.

IBM is driving the strategic use of technology inside banks like the NBP to gain real-time visibility of risk positions in order to more quickly and nimbly respond to changes in market conditions.

"Companies are increasingly turning to IBM's Business Continuity and Resiliency Services to plan, implement and manage IT operational risk management strategies," said Adnan Siddiqui, Country Sales Manager, IBM Pakistan. "By helping reduce the impact of particular risks, IBM is helping to bring peace of mind to the National Bank of Pakistan and its customers."

The agreement was signed in the second quarter of 2011.

Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) on Thursday signed a Rs32 million agreement with a company, Tollink, for installing a software to control traffic in the city.

TolLink Pakistan provides a comprehensive solution to its clients regarding Road Asset Management, Traffic Management, and Parking Management Systems and their associated facilities.

The Company also offers life cycle maintenance of these Systems and facilities. The Company has a significant track record in the industry for both local and International Projects.

TolLink is an EFKON Group Company. The Company specializes in Supply, Management, Advisory and support Services related to Toll Roads and related infrastructure projects.

Tollink Pakistan will control traffic on 19 busy intersections in Rawalpindi city through a software known as Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (Scats) which will automatically turn the signals green and red according to the volume of traffic.

The software, which will be imported from Australia, has been distributed to 154 cities in 25 countries worldwide controlling 34,357 intersections. Software makers say it is designed to coordinate traffic signals for networks or for arterial roads and “each regional computer can manage up to 250 intersections.”

After operating the system for initial two years, Tollink will hand it over to RDA. Initially, the traffic control system will be installed on Benazir Bhutto Road, Liaquat Road, Saidpur Road and Stadium Road.

The project, will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif soon. The ceremony to sign the contract was attended by Chairman Development Committee Rawalpindi, Director General RDA Makeen Shahbaz and representative of Tollink Riffat Nazar.

Tollink representative said:

The system would end “manual management of traffic and the new traffic control system measures volume of vehicles at intersections through installed censors, turning green or red according to the size of traffic."

Makeen Shahbaz said:

“We are happy to sign a Urban Traffic Control (UTC) contract for the first time in Pakistan, The new traffic system can handle traffic far and wide as the software can coordinate traffic on 250 intersections”
