About The Customer
Riyad Bank is one of the largest financial institutions in Saudi Arabia, with 340 licensed branches, over 5,600 employees, 2,242 ATMs, and 138,511 POS Devices. The bank embarked on a major business transformation with the aim of enhancing the digital banking experience for its customers. To support this drive, the organization built a private cloud environment using Red Hat OpenShift, complying with stringent local banking legislation that prohibits the use of public cloud services. The bank is working to enhance its cloud infrastructure, transform applications, and modernize legacy technology to create a modern, open banking platform.
The Challenge
Riyad Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in Saudi Arabia, embarked on a significant business transformation aimed at enhancing the digital banking experience for its customers. To support this initiative, the bank built a private cloud environment using Red Hat OpenShift, complying with local banking legislation that prohibits the use of public cloud services. As part of this transformation, Riyad Bank began migrating applications to a microservices and container-based architecture to maximize the value of its private cloud environment. This transition would enable the bank to innovate faster, create new digital banking solutions, and build a stronger competitive advantage. However, the shift to a cloud-native environment introduced significant new complexity, making it more challenging to deliver seamless digital banking experiences. The bank needed to maintain end-to-end observability into its applications to identify and resolve problems quickly, ensuring the best possible experiences for its customers.
The Solution
Riyad Bank identified the need for a single monitoring solution compatible with both its private cloud infrastructure and the range of other technologies within its environment. After evaluating potential options, the bank chose Dynatrace as the best solution for its requirements. Dynatrace's AI capabilities instantly notify the relevant teams at Riyad Bank if there is a problem with one of its services, enabling them to investigate and resolve it before customers are impacted. The bank uses Dynatrace’s synthetic monitoring capabilities to identify the root cause of any issues relating to external parties, such as local internet providers and content delivery networks. With Dynatrace, Riyad Bank has a single observability solution across its entire environment, providing all the insights it needs from one dashboard. The bank's testing team, applications team, and infrastructure team all share this same single source of truth, improving collaboration and enabling them to deliver greater business value.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.
