The Challenge

A 20-Year-Old Core Banking System Holding Back Growth

The client, a major commercial bank with 1.2 million customers, was running a COBOL-based core banking system dating back to 2003. The system required weekly maintenance windows, could not support real-time payments, and was a significant barrier to launching digital products.

The bank had attempted two previous migrations that both failed — once after 18 months of work — resulting in deep internal scepticism about the feasibility of any modernisation programme.

Our Approach

We began with a 6-week discovery phase, producing the most comprehensive documentation of the existing system the bank had ever had. This became the foundation for a phased migration plan with rollback capability at every stage.

Migration was executed in 12 waves over 7 months, with zero planned downtime and a 24/7 war room during each wave cutover. Every wave was validated with live transaction shadowing before permanent cutover.
