The Challenge… Storebrand needed a secure way to communicate over the Internet with its partners. The soluBon needed to be flexible, easy to use and enable a rapid Bme-‐to-‐market for new integraBons.


NASDAQ interface – Single Sign On

•  For its private customers in Sweden, Storebrand implemented a SSO integration with NASDAQ.

•  With this solution, Axway API Gateway enables customers who are logged on to the Storebrand site to directly access NASDAQ and carry out trades.


Finance Portal

•  This service, provided by the Norwegian Consumer Council, enables consumers to compare market offerings in banking, insurance and investment. Any Norwegian who wants to buy a new car can use this service to compare rates for car loans and insurance.

•  Receive a request from the portal, calculate the price, and return the quote in real time.

•  Another example of integrating with a Partner Channel to deliver real-time data to the external portal


BankID Digital Signatures

•  In Norway, the BankID standard enables consumers and companies to use digital signatures to establish legally binding contracts. If a customer in Sweden or Norway wants to purchase products from Storebrand over the Internet, he or she uses BankID to sign the documents.


•  US Retailer and Healthcare Company •  $120Bn + Turnover •  7,000 stores •  200,000 employees
