CCF is one of the few highly-diversified major French financial institutions, active in retail banking, retail distribution, investment banking, institutional banking, corporate clients, asset management, insurance, and private banking. In July 2000, CCF became a member of the HSBC Group, serving as the Group's main platform for developing European Union business.

Needs Analysis - CCF was rapidly expanding their trading floor capabilities, and their internal network infrastructure was laboring under the load and complexity of increased traffic and integrated systems. CCF engaged b-i to help them meet not just their current needs, but to deliver a solution that would accommodate future, massive expansion. High security, flexibility, and nonstop up-time were key requirements of the new network.

Network Development - b-i designed and implemented a high-capacity, high-security network and switching system for the bank, allowing them to centralize the distribution of all internal LAN and WAN network connectivity. b-i configured the new network for high performance processing of the numerous data feeds and messaging required by CCF's world-class trading floor.

Rigorous Testing - We finished our work with load, performance, and stress testing.
