Headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Banca March offers banking, securities, property investment and insurance services in Spain as well as London, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, the Mediterranean coast and Andalusia. To compete with larger banks that offer more advanced services, Banca March had decided to introduce innovative new products and expand with 30 new branches, but its database system could not accommodate the expansion. Banca March renegotiated its contract with IBM Global Technology Services - Worldwide Strategic Outsourcing to revamp its infrastructure and expand the capability of its database system. The bank chose the powerful IBM DB2 for z/OS data server running on an IBM System z mainframe to host its production and development environments.
