Infrastructure

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is
one of the four largest banks in Australia, and the
number one bank in New Zealand, serving over 8.5
million retail and business customers, operating in
more than 30 markets including Australia, New
Zealand, Pacific Region, Asia, UK, Europe and North
America.
As ANZ Bank set out to improve the financial well
being and sustainability of customers through its
portfolio of services, tools, and insights, it
recognized very early on the importance of investing
in digital to modernize workloads and differentiate
itself from competitors. With their current
implementation of Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 approaching
end of life, the bank worked with their account team
and Red Hat Consulting to develop a roadmap that
would enable them to migrate their existing
applications to Red Hat OpenShift 4, while
minimizing risk and avoiding any major
disruption.
To do this, ANZ Bank used
Red Hat Service Interconnect, a solution that enables agile, portable and
secure communication across environments. The
solution helped the bank to more securely connect
applications across environments, enabling developer
teams to move them as they were ready, without
needing elevated privileges or dependencies on
network operations. This resulted in a streamlined
migration and improved developer experience, as well
as maintaining uninterrupted transactions for the
bank’s retail and commercial customers. Digitalizing
these workflows has reduced the amount of
engineering resources required to complete the
project.
Shifting IT architectures can be a very complex and lengthy process, especially when you take into consideration the costs and risks involved. Migrating our OpenShift applications presented similar challenges. The Red Hat team worked closely with us to evolve and help bring Red Hat Service Interconnect to market and enable us to take advantage of the agility and scalability that it offers. This has allowed us to not only increase the productivity of our developers but also retain a high level of customer satisfaction. With the success we’ve seen on the initiative, we can rightly say that our decision to go digital-first in investments has been the right one in these economic times.

Southern Cross Health Society (New Zealand)
Cloud-Native Development
Digital Transformation

Southern Cross Health Society opened for business in
1961, introducing health insurance to New Zealanders
and establishing itself as one of New Zealand’s most
trusted brands. Southern Cross was established
because its founders believed New Zealanders should
have ongoing access to private healthcare options.
Over the years, Southern Cross has expanded its
community of care and now helps more New Zealanders
than ever to look after their health and wellbeing,
travel plans, and pets.
One of the organization’s main objectives was to
move away from manual processes and monolithic
platforms to provide customers with a better digital
experience through online services and mobile
applications. They also provide services to their
healthcare partners, so centralized integration
capabilities are crucial for this purpose.
To enable this, Southern Cross used a managed
service for
Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), unlocking access to a modern, microservices
platform that enables essential services such as API
management and streaming. The fully managed service
gave Southern Cross the flexibility and scalability
to grow with demand, without having to pump in extra
investments or manpower to manage the platform. ARO
has also provided huge cost savings for Southern
Cross, boosting productivity and reducing the time
to market. This has allowed healthcare partners and
insurance clients a much-improved experience in
handling their insurance policies as most of these
processes are now automated.
As a healthcare provider, it is important to us to provide exceptional customer experience not only in the healthcare services we deliver but also how they communicate with us. For us, delivering digital services is important to enable this. Migrating to the Azure Red Hat OpenShift has greatly revolutionized the way we work, allowing us to innovate faster and add new features and services. This has helped fulfill our commitment to provide the best customer experience as well as offer centralized integration capabilities to our healthcare partners.

As the oldest and largest state-owned bank in the country, Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) is currently
one of the largest Indonesian companies in terms of market capitalization. Traditionally focused on
providing banking services for micro, small, and medium enterprises, BRI wanted to generate new revenue
streams via retail banking and had to adapt to the shifting demands of consumers that were increasingly

ANZ Bank
Digital Transformation
Cloud-native Development

ANZ is a multinational banking and financial
services company with a purpose of helping to shape
a world in which people and communities thrive. To
achieve that goal, the digital customer self-service
tribe needed to ensure that ANZ’s internet banking
platform is always stable, reliable, and able to
meet the needs of its wide range of customers
including everyday consumers and small businesses
right up to large enterprises.
ANZ’s
internet banking platform uses a core banking
application which since 2005 was heavily customized
to its needs but has passed its end of life date and
has been on extended support for more than 12 years.
To future-proof the reliability and effectiveness of
its internet banking platform, ANZ decided to adopt
a containerized platform to remain architecturally
aligned with the core banking platform upgrade
path.
With the help of
Red Hat Consulting, ANZ deployed
Red Hat OpenShift,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and
Red Hat Runtimes
as the foundation of its internet banking platform
in early 2020. Collectively, Red Hat solutions
enabled the bank to implement the latest core
banking application version (11.9) in production in
July 2020 while running and migrating existing
services from the original. ANZ managed to process
AU$2.9 billion worth of scheduled payments within
the first hour of implementing Red Hat
OpenShift and the new core banking platform version
in production. It also saw an increase in the number
of internet banking users smoothly completing
transactions during the peak hour of the first day
of deployment. Additionally, ANZ was running 30 per
cent of its customer traffic on the new
infrastructure within four months of confirming the
architectural decision.
With Red Hat OpenShift, ANZ will be
able to reuse the internet banking services that are
upgraded and transitioned for the bank’s other
channels such as its mobile banking application.
This empowers the bank to run faster and deliver
consistent user experience across multiple digital
channels for its 2.4 million active internet banking
customers. Red Hat solutions also enabled the
bank to comply with the regulatory obligation of
ensuring continued stability and availability of its
critical customer-facing systems, processing
approximately AU$1.2 billion in payments each day.
So far, its unplanned outage time for internet
banking has reduced by approximately 80 per cent.
The improved internet banking technology capabilities ensure our customers have the tools they need to easily complete their online banking so they can spend more time running their business or enjoying life. Collaborating with Red Hat to use its open source solutions means we can meet the scalability, reliability, supportability and security requirements to host our internet banking platform. Together we were able to build deployment pipelines that enable us to reuse code, rapidly test and retest deployment, as well as meet the stringent performance and volume testing criteria.

RIKEN and FUJITSU LIMITED
Digital Transformation
Resilience

RIKEN is Japan’s largest and most comprehensive
research organization in natural science, conducting
research in a broad spectrum of disciplines
including physics, engineering, chemistry,
mathematical/information science, computational
science, biology, and medical science. As an
international hub for high performance computing in
the fields of computational and computer science,
RIKEN's stated mission is to explore 'the science of
computing, the science by computing and the science
for computing.’
In a joint effort with
Fujitsu, a provider of IT services and products,
RIKEN developed the
supercomputer Fugaku
aimed at responding to immediate social and
scientific issues. These issues cover the areas of
bioscience, disaster prevention, environmental
issues, energy, manufacturing, and fundamental
science. Results from the studies will contribute to
the development of technology in these areas and
enhance industrial competitiveness. The facilitation
of leading edge infrastructure on Fugaku and the
operational technologies developed can also be used
in the information area such as big data and
artificial intelligence (AI).
RIKEN and
Fujitsu adopted
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
as Fugaku’s operating system. Red Hat
Enterprise Linux provides a more consistently
predictable and reliable interface in the
supercomputing environment, which enables Fugaku to
be productive and reliable, while being
user-friendly and compatible with other software.
This enables Fugaku to be fully compliant with
various standards of Arm-based processors.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux also provides
streamlined update management for easier
administration and opens up additional avenues for
hybrid cloud computing in the future.
While
Fugaku is scheduled to be fully operational in
fiscal year 2021, RIKEN has provided some of
Fugaku’s computing resources to support research and
development efforts needed to address the COVID-19
pandemic. Specifically, Fugaku was used for medical
research, including, predicting dynamic structure of
proteins of the novel coronavirus and identifying
potential drug candidates to combat the virus. RIKEN
is also using Fugaku for simulation analysis to
better understand how the COVID-19 infection spreads
and the resulting socioeconomic impacts of the
virus.
Fugaku is near completion, after 10 years since its initial conception to achieve two goals in the world of supercomputers. One is to be the pinnacle of information technology, i.e., showing the highest performance running a wide range of applications while having high versatility. We were able to achieve three times the performance and power efficiency with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, without making any changes to the operating system, on the Arm-based A64FX processor developed jointly with Fujitsu. This performance makes Fugaku the world’s first exascale machine and is 100 times better than what the K computer achieved when it was constructed. The other is to address high-priority social issues that are of great public interest. such as the achievement of Society 5.0. We are currently running various applications to address issues caused by COVID-19, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux providing the operating system backbone. The findings have direct impact on the government’s formulation of infection prevention guidelines. We will continue our research and development using Fugaku to further industrial innovation and find solutions to social issues.
We are very pleased to receive the Red Hat Innovation Awards APAC 2020 together with RIKEN. Based on a strong relationship with Red Hat that started 2003, we have been providing innovative systems and services to customers with open source software. We believe that Fugaku, which has become easier to use when powered with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for ARM, will be widely utilized to solve social issues and advance cutting-edge research.

Australia
Heritage BankDigital transformation, Modern Application Development

With origins tracing back to 1875, Heritage Bank is Australia’s largest customer-owned bank and is one of the longest running financial institutions in Australia. Founded in Toowoomba, Heritage Bank prides itself on its “People First” ethos, and is committed to improving an excellent customer experience.
Currently, Heritage Bank is in the midst of a digital transformation to better meet its goal of delivering great customer experiences every time. However, its monolithic 40-year-old core system resulted in siloed teams and limited the bank’s architectural vision. Its business model needed to change, and the bank believed it was necessary to take an outside-in approach when architecting, delivering and evolving a digital platform.
To address that, Heritage Bank engaged Red Hat Open Innovation Labs, and was able to apply three strategies - microservices, APIs and containers - to create highly configurable architecture, to help Heritage Bank respond more quickly to market demands. The immersive nature of the Red Hat Open Innovation Labs experience also resulted in the bank having empowered, multi-disciplinary teams to better support the business.
By powering the new operating model within its IT
team with Red Hat solutions, Heritage Bank’s IT team
can now support business initiatives more
effectively. The solutions include
Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform,
Red Hat Fuse,
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform,
Red Hat Ansible Automation,
Heritage Bank is renowned for its ‘People First’ approach and our commitment to providing great banking experiences and exceptional customer service. However, we needed to find a way to modernize our older systems and processes to continue to evolve with our customers’ needs. Red Hat Open Innovation Labs helped us in our agile journey by providing our teams the needed training for maximum efficiency and productivity. With newer systems and less siloed teams, we can now focus on innovation to meet changing market demands.
OptusDigital transformation, Modern Application Development

Optus serves content and telecommunications capabilities to more than 10 million Australian mobile subscribers and provides enterprise services to many of Australia’s small, medium and large businesses.
As part of its 2020 CX Vision, Optus is aiming to transform customer experience by delivering exceptional value and digital experiences for customers.
To drive customer experience improvements, Optus developed a Cloud Core Contact Centre (C4), a cloud-native platform that allows microservices to be quickly developed and deployed in a DevOps environment with strong security capabilities. C4 breaks down complex monolith systems into smaller services, with each performing a precise functionality. Since a single microservice can be used in various use cases to perform the same function, Optus’ agile teams can prevent repeated efforts, resulting in faster iteration of new customer care functionalities. Optus also managed to adopt DevOps practices with C4. Featuring CI/CD pipelines with embedded security compliance checks, C4 enables the telco to modify architectures and release software without impacting the stability of operations or compromising the security of customer sensitive information.
With all these capabilities, Optus can rapidly develop and integrate new service technology functions – such as voice notes and intelligent routing – across its voice and messaging channels to deliver better customer experience. For instance, the Red Hat OpenShift-backed C4 supports the real-time transcription of customer calls and automation of categorisation of the transcript (also known as voice notes). These moves aim to help Optus’ contact centre agents capture more information from customer calls and reduce the time needed to summarise those calls. C4 also enables Optus’ service operations team to personalise the routing experience for customers who call. By doing so, Optus can help customers more effectively with minimal customer input, which could result in an enhanced customer experience.
Optus has always been a challenger, committed to creating a better and more connected future for Australia. To accelerate our transformation and deliver a new wave of solutions that create game-changing experiences for our customers, we are increasingly relying on open source software solutions which are now at the forefront of technology.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group LimitedModern Application Development, Digital Transformation
ANZ Bank (ANZ) is one of the five largest listed companies in Australia by market capitalization and a leading bank in New Zealand, serving both consumers and businesses in the region. In 2017, ANZ needed to increase the speed of its software release cycle after the work in their API platform had grown significantly during the previous year. To enable a continuous integration and continuous delivery process, ANZ migrated to a solution based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Gluster Storage, Red Hat Ansible Tower, and Red Hat Satellite.
The project began in phases in 2017, with migration of more than 25 services into containers within nine months. Using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, ANZ reports it reduced deployment time from hours to minutes, allowed development teams to deploy their own code into production, automated configuration, and enabled zero downtime deployments. The team also engaged Red Hat Consulting to help upskill the team and migrate the solution.
Since its initial rollout, ANZ added a Blue-Green deployment capability - a methodology that creates two identical production environments which enable upgrades to be made in the parallel environment and facilitate rollbacks to the old environment should a problem surface - in a matter of weeks. This created a continuous integration (CI) service that superseded its old CI processes.
ANZ is building a more adaptable bank to better meet the changing needs of our customers. Support from our vendors, such as Red Hat, are enabling this transformation

upgrade project.
With the help of SECTION6, an open source enterprise solutions consultancy and a Red Hat partner, NZ Customs Service developed a solution architecture based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux,Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP), Red Hat Fuse and Red Hat AMQ. With this new Red Hat-based platform, NZ Customs Service can more rapidly deliver modern applications and services, helping to modernise its entire portfolio of applications. Using open source technologies also became a catalyst for innovation at NZ Customs, helping to increase productivity and provide better service quality.
The upgraded eGate solution improved processing for both frontline staff and travelers. Based on its internal calculations, NZ Customs was able to increase the number of passengers processed by the modernized eGates, reduce manual processing, and reduce the average time required to process each passenger through the eGates.
New Zealand Customs is delighted to receive this award. Our upgraded eGate border processing solution has enabled faster and more reliable processing of passengers at the border which has improved their traveling experience and has allowed us to better cope with an increasing traveler population. The success of the project has clearly demonstrated the value that can be realized in a public service setting by working in an agile, collaborative way. As a result, agile and DevOps practices are being adopted to help accelerate other important pieces of work at New Zealand Customs. The confidence and trust that we have received from our key technology and business stakeholders would not have been possible without the support of SECTION6 and Red Hat.
