Our customers are becoming increasingly digital, and we focus on addressing their expectations for online services and on becoming a simple, efficient, and secure bank in line with our Forward’28 strategy.” 

He continues:

“Working with the latest technology enables us to nurture innovation and give employees the opportunity to upskill, while allowing the bank to become a more attractive employer to prospective talent. AWS’s global infrastructure and comprehensive cloud capabilities will enable our developers to quickly build, test and launch next-generation banking services in compliance with security, regulatory and sustainability requirements.”

They will also provide AWS training to “more than 1,500 employees and embed cloud skills into management courses to accelerate cloud adoption.”

To better serve customers in an increasingly digital world, they have “launched a company-wide tech transformation focused on greater use of cloud technology, data and AI to speed up the development of innovative customer solutions.”

By moving to AWS, they aim to “scale these productivity gains across our entire organization.”

The plans include migrating “over 16,600 virtual and physical servers and more than 1,000 applications from our private cloud to AWS.”
