Helm Bank will also implement Oracle’s Siebel CRM to streamline customer data management and enable superior customer service.

Helm Bank also selected Oracle Financial Management Services, Oracle Database 11g, Oracle WebLogic Suite, Oracle Business Intelligence, Oracle Identity Management and Oracle SOA Suite.

“We selected Oracle to help us to speed up our time to market for new products, as well as for Oracle’s reputation and performance.

We are pleased to play a key role in Helm Bank’s success,” said Frank Brienzi, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Financial Services.
