Computer World Hong Kong has an article about IBM aims middleware at financial firms. The project involves moving Windows and OS/2 applications to an IBM mainframe that's running SUSE Linux.

IBM Corp. this week announced 15 middleware bundles aimed specifically at applications in the financial services and insurance industries, such as risk and compliance management and claims processing.

The rollout of the bundles is the first tangible result of IBM's December announcement that it would begin tailoring its software offerings for users in different industries. The financial industry packages are made up of existing IBM products and also include business applications from vendors such as SAP AG and PeopleSoft Inc., IBM said.

In addition, the bundles provide market-specific functionality developed by Fidelity Information Services Inc., Sanchez Computer Associates Inc., Fiserv Inc. and other vendors.

Walter Hatten, senior vice president and technical services manager at Hancock Bank in Gulfport, Miss., said he's using a software bundle that IBM previously put together for him as part of a server integration project. The project involves moving Windows and OS/2 applications to an IBM mainframe that's running SUSE Linux.
