Premierecom provides banking customers with real-time access to their accounts and account activity, allowing funds transfer, loan and bill payments, service requests, viewing of check images, and retrieval of statements and notifications. Connect3 middleware links an array of Fiserv electronic delivery systems, including browser-based consumer Internet banking and corporate cash management services. Connect3 integrates with a variety of data tiers developed by Fiserv and other vendors. A plan was developed to accurately simulate and measure real-world workloads, with test results demonstrating that Premierecom is a scalable solution. These results also provide a valuable tool to help estimate configurations that meet the needs of financial institutions of various sizes.
