Are you a NZ Financial Institution facing these challenges?
Legacy infrastructure is a liability
Ageing systems—some over 30 years old—create security vulnerabilities, inflate maintenance costs, and slow innovation. They weren't built for today's 24/7 digital banking demands.-------
Compliance expectations are intensifying
New RBNZ cyber resilience and outsourcing requirements increase scrutiny on governance, risk, and third-party operations. Meeting these obligations with legacy systems adds complexity and cost.
Operational costs keep rising
On-premises environments drain IT budgets through hardware refresh cycles, licensing, and specialised talent retention—diverting resources away from transformation initiatives.
Customer expectations are accelerating.
Digital banking, instant payments, and mobile-first experiences are now baseline. Falling behind on modernisation risks losing customers to faster, cloud-enabled competitors.
- Modernisation shouldn’t be a gamble. Get clarity, compliance, and cost savings; before you move a single workload.
