Business Challenge
Our client was the second largest private bank in Turkey with subsidiaries in pension and life insurance, leasing, factoring, brokerage and asset management, besides international subsidiaries in Europe. They were highly dependent on their legacy mainframe. This was causing serious bottlenecks. Challenges and business objectives required the creation of a next generation banking architecture program. These objectives were:
- Deliver new business products faster
- Attract and retain talent in the organization
- Enable new talent to become productive in shorter amount of time
- Improve talent productivity (architects, developers, SREs)
- Accelerate innovation in the organization
- Modernize the core and manage obsolete technologies on legacy systems
- Reduce legacy systems complexity
- Reduce cost using distributed open environment
- Improve business operations through modern technology
