The challenge

The bank ran a 25-year-old monolithic core that throttled product velocity and inflated run-the-bank costs. Compliance changes took quarters to implement and customer journeys were fragmented across legacy channels.

Our approach

We co-designed a target architecture with the CIO office, sequenced an 18-month migration to a modern cloud-native core, and stood up a federated delivery model across three vendor partners. A dedicated transformation PMO managed dependencies and risk.

The outcome

The bank now releases new products in 3-4 weeks, reduced run-the-bank IT spend by 22% and improved system availability to 99.98%. Customer NPS in digital channels improved by 14 points.
