SQN Banking Systems Integrates Identify Software’s AppSight Black Box Technology into Signature Verification Systems

Identify® Software, the leading provider of application problem resolution software, and SQN Banking Systems (Rancocas, N.J.), a leading provider of integrated fraud detection and process improvement products for the financial industry, today announced that SQN Banking Systems has selected Identify’s AppSight™ Black Box software to help improve its software quality assurance process and proactively resolve technical issues.

SQN Banking Systems is using AppSight to triage and quickly fix problems in its signature verification system. By facilitating remote customer service access for SQN Banking Systems’ IT professionals, AppSight has reduced the amount of travel to client sites and enabled same-day service.

“Our customers trust us to keep their check fraud technology running, because without it, they could accept a fraudulent check and therefore incur losses,” said Joe Uhland, Jr., president of SQN Banking Systems. “Every second counts, and using AppSight Black Box substantially decreases the amount of time necessary to identify and fix any difficulty within the system.”

Sewell, N.J.-based Gloucester County Federal Savings Bank, a community bank holding $300 million in assets at five branches, values SQN Banking Systems’ fast response time. “We have an excellent working relationship with SQN Banking Systems,” said Tim Hand, executive vice president for Gloucester County Bank. “They are highly qualified technical people, and if there’s a technical issue, which is rare, they respond and repair it very quickly.”

AppSight uses patented Black Box software technology to monitor application execution and capture a synchronized, real-time log of user actions, system events, performance metrics, configuration data, and code execution flow – much like the “black box” flight recorder on an aircraft captures a real-time record of a flight. Instead of having to recreate the customer’s environment and reproduce the problem in order to resolve it, SQN Banking Systems’ IT team can replay and analyze the AppSight Black Box log to quickly pinpoint the root cause of all kinds of application problems, whether related to performance, configuration issues, user mistakes, or code errors—thus eliminating up to 70 percent of the cycle time traditionally consumed by root cause analysis.

“Resolving unforeseen application problems quickly is crucial, especially in the financial industry,” said Yochi Slonim, CEO of Identify Software. “Identify’s AppSight Black Box technology adds tremendous value by automating and accelerating the problem resolution process, resulting in less system down time and better customer service levels.”
