warning The Challenge

The bank was burdened by a sprawling, aging IT estate comprising thousands of applications and fragmented infrastructure across scattered data centers. This technical debt severely hindered the bank's ability to release software updates rapidly, increased operational maintenance costs, and made it difficult to integrate modern data analytics tools. To remain competitive, the bank needed to fundamentally reshape its cost base and engineering culture.

psychology The Solution

Entering a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, the bank adopted a hybrid cloud strategy centered on Anthos (now Google Distributed Cloud). This allowed them to containerize legacy applications and manage them consistently across both on-premise environments and the public cloud. The partnership also established joint innovation labs to co-develop new financial products, moving beyond simple 'lift and shift' migration to true application refactoring and modernization using cloud-native services.
