LABORAL Kutxa believes there is another way to do banking, by building a transparent and trusting relationship with its 1.1 million clients. This unique and personal philosophy drives the bank’s decisions and the way it conducts business.
When it comes to technology, Joseba Maruri, Director of Technology and Systems at LABO RAL Kutxa, is clear that the bank had work to do: “With our Fujitsu mainframe infrastructure we felt stuck in the 20th century while the world was changing all around us. Our regula tors were asking for more detailed and more frequent reporting and our clients were de manding a multichannel approach where they could seamlessly connect to their banking af fairs by mobile. Our platform was becoming obsolete and there wasn’t room to grow within it. However, it had given us stability for over 30 years, so although everyone talked about digital transformation and the flexibility this provides, we were worried about making a fundamental change to our businesscritical systems.”
However, with system performance declining and difficulty in attracting developers with suit able mainframe skills, LABORAL Kutxa started to investigate its options. Management within the bank was concerned about single vendor lockin, rising mainframe support and mainte nance costs, and overall platform governance and security. Once executive support was se cured, Maruri was focused on finding the right partners for the modernization project: “We needed a trusted team, with experience and integrity. We found this in Micro Focus as our technology providers, HPE as implementation and system integration partner, and Deloitte as project managers. This decision was the key to our success. There were no separate teams, there was just one team working together, communicating openly, and totally focused on our desired outcome.”
