MEPS group managing director Dato' Mohd Hata Robani said that it has invested approximately RM 4.35 million (USD 1.18 million) in the total IBM solution within MEPS IBG's production and disaster recovery sites.

"The IBM solution will provide more than three times the bandwidth previously available to MEPS," said Robani. "This higher bandwidth would enable MEPS to focus on reducing overall business costs while consolidating and simplifying its IT management. It will also enable MEPS to develop new product features as well as provide faster and more efficient delivery to customers."

"We are confident that this upgrade will further improve MEPS' processing capability and provide the capacity to accommodate the accelerated growth in IBG transactions. IBM Systems provides more stability and bandwidth as well as security for enhancement initiatives in customer service quality," he said.

Incorporated in the 1997, MEPS is wholly owned by local banks and is the only interbank network service provider that supports domestic, development, Islamic and foreign banks in Malaysia.
