Mainframes are complex but reliable and fast processing platforms. Their usage outlays constitute a significant proportion of an organisation's IT budget as costs incurred can sometimes be high. Furthermore, according to experts, organisations should expect a 15 to 20% annual increase in CPU resource consumption. Reducing the costs of a company's mainframe environment while minimising risk is therefore a key challenge facing every organisation's IT department. For this Spanish retail bank, GFT improved IT resource consumption and performance by a total of 7966 minutes per month.

As bank IT infrastructures and budgets come under increasing pressure, cost reduction continues to top the industry agenda. Operations managers are expected to improve operational efficiency by 10 to 20 per cent annually. Meanwhile, the cost of IT operations increases by 5 to 10 per cent each year. Within three weeks, GFT significantly reduced CPU usage and identified seven improvement opportunities for this Italian financial institution.

These savings can fuel investments in other areas, especially digital transformation initiatives.

The benefits of cloud computing are huge and include reduced capital expenditures, ongoing cost reductions and scalability. However, moving to the cloud is challenging even if it is also an opportunity to transform the way banks deliver business value to their stakeholders. By moving an existing system that was computer-intensive, time-critical and entailed a high cost of ownership, GFT achieved massive performance improvements for this tier 1 bank, taking it from an on-premise solution to a native cloud. GFT’s big data capabilities on the Google Cloud Platform improved performance by a factor of 24. In the meantime, the native cloud solution is four times cheaper than the previous on-premise solution.

All financial institutions acknowledge the need to harness the vast opportunities provided by cloud computing.

The application landscapes of large financial organisations have expanded dramatically in recent years, tying up significant resources if they are to be managed effectively. CIOs are facing the challenging task of reducing cost bases while attempting to accelerate delivery times.

The phenomenon surrounding blockchain/distributed ledger technology (DLT) has sparked a rush of innovation activity within the financial services sector. Firms are beginning to understand the potential use cases of DLT and the impacts it could have on their entire business model.

As banks overhaul and update their customer relationship processes to remain relevant to requirements, after personal financial management (PFM) tools, the next logical step in the digital transformation process is smart transaction management (STM).

Working alongside EY, GFT built a single multi-role application to cover the entire process, also improving data quality and tightening anti-fraud detection for this leading international insurer.

Identifying and achieving cost savings is one of the key challenges our clients are currently dealing with. As simple cost-saving strategies have already been implemented, it is becoming more and more difficult to keep meeting efficiency improvement targets. This project focused on the migration of development and support for a critical risk platform to a low-cost location in order to reduce risk and costs.

Powerful risk solutions are increasingly required to meet client's immediate needs and strategic objectives across departments and locations.

GFT designed an app for treasury management which makes collaboration faster and has effectively reduced regulatory fines.

With rising pressure on banks' IT infrastructures and budgets, for many in the industry cost reduction is at the top of the agenda.

Our global banking client benefited from the improved working practices offered by GFT, based on a proven blend of business knowledge and software development methods.

One of the main areas of focus with IT projects is cost and time efficiency, especially when improving existing IT platforms or applications, but also when introducing new ones. To keep projects within plan and budget, banks need partners who are able to offer a detailed understanding of financial services. As an industry specialist, GFT offers the combined knowledge and experience of the ETF derivative market and high performance web-based solutions – thus making it possible to build bespoke IT platforms which are not only capable of enhancing liquidity, but which also improve transparency and reduce fragmentation.
