Benefits of core banking transformation
Don’t miss your chance to gain a competitive edge by upgrading or transforming your core banking system. Main differentiators that you can get from a new or upgraded core banking software include the benefits below.
Our core banking solutions and approaches
Depending on the needs of your business, we can use one of three implementation approaches: Big Bang, Progressive, or Greenfield. The starting phases are often similar. It’s possible to develop a custom tool, upgrade your existing legacy platform, change one module or the entire system. But the general flow remains unchanged for all core banking solutions: pre-project assessment, discovery, engineering, quality assurance, deployment, operation and support.
The discovery phase includes the following: inventory of current implementation, high-level and low-level architecture documentation, service line analysis, SLA/OLA and metrics agreements, system configuration monitoring, metrics. When it comes to implementation, there are three classic approaches to core banking replacement, development, or upgrade.
What impacts your project duration
The average project time depends on the size (number of accounts in your bank) and scope (number and complexity of modules or interfaces required). For new implementations, this timeline varies from 6 months to 3 years. Migration and upgrade projects also depend on the number of accounts, products such as loans or deposits, as well as infrastructure readiness. Depending on the chosen approach, these projects also can take from 6 to 36 months.
- Project requirements
- Expected deadlines
- Team composition
- Chosen technology and platforms
What affects your project costs
The total cost usually depends on the costs of software and services. The first aspect varies from vendor to vendor. For instance, Oracle, Finastra, and Temenos have different software fees. The availability of vendor support matters a lot, too. Services depend on size, scope, and schedule. The most essential factors include the complexity of integrations, localization requirements, local central bank requirements, migration strategy, the readiness of third-party services, EOD/EOM procedures, IT support, and change requests.
- Project scope and complexity
- Chosen technology
- Project completion urgency
- Engagement model: Fixed Price, Time and Material, Dedicated Team
What we need from your side
Usually, banks have strong IT services. They understand what’s needed for an automated banking system implementation, migration, or upgrade. Business users also know project acceptance criteria based on the scope and other parameters. To provide the most tailored services, we will need some info from your side: available business and tech documents, access to Jira/Confluence, description of current models, SLAs and OLAs, examples of issues and audit logs, target goals.
- Project goals, vision, and roadmap if exist
- High-level project requirements
- Project-specific documentation if available, for example, a test strategy or test cases
- Client’s availability (a couple of hours per week for requirements gathering sessions)
- Project deadlines
