Strong, Convenient, Flexible: Swiss Financial Infrastructure Specialist SIX Relies on Nevis’ CIAM Expertise
Initial situation
As the key financial infrastructure operator for Switzerland and Spain, SIX is at the interface between stability and innovation. However, the existing IT infrastructure has become increasingly challenging due to growing digitalisation as well as rising demands on security and scalability. Several separate platforms resulted in fragmented processes, made standardised identity management difficult and increased complexity in an industry that does not tolerate compromises in security and efficiency.
To remain future-proof and comply with the growing regulatory requirements, SIX decided to consolidate its infrastructure and introduce a modern solution that seamlessly combines security, flexibility and user-friendliness.
Solution
SIX relies on the Nevis Identity Suite to meet the increasing demands for security, performance and user-friendliness. This proven on-premise solution forms the backbone for the management of all internet-enabled B2B applications and interfaces. It also sets new standards for effective alignment of complex IT infrastructures.
Migrating from several separate platforms to a single central solution was a crucial step towards optimising processes and boosting efficiency. With its scalable architecture, the Identity Suite ensures continuous availability and enables the processing of up to 80,000 authentication requests per minute during peak times. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies such as multi-factor authentication, single sign-on and session clustering, the platform not only offers maximum security but also a smooth user experience – even during maintenance work.
The successful implementation was supported by the expertise of Nevis partner Adnovum. ‘We’ve been supporting SIX continuously for over 16 years and, along the way, we managed to establish a stable, experienced team structure. Our agile team model and clear communication channels allowed us to significantly reduce implementation times and ensure smooth integration. Our close collaboration enabled us to meet SIX’s high requirements and expectations and to successfully implement numerous parallel projects’, says Luciano Rizza, Managing Director Financial Solutions at Adnovum.
