The Challenge
Amidst a recent acquisition spree, the consumer banking landscape has become more complex and the client’s IT priorities have shifted. A new, cohesive, consumer-centric technology strategy and IT roadmap for the Consumer Bank was needed to clearly articulate the vision, design, and plan for enabling core digitization, national expansion, scaling growth, and deepening relationships.
Project Description
We developed an actionable IT strategy for realizing a customer relationship-driven vision of banking. Leveraging stakeholder interviews, we conducted an assessment of current-state technology and business goals and crafted a target state vision, architecture, operating model and set of core capabilities to guide transformation.
