Turn digital transformation into your competitive advantage

Ensure 24/7 reliability

Downtime and transaction delays frustrate customers and cause major financial losses. We help you enhance system reliability, scalability, and performance while meeting the strict QA and testing standards of large, heterogeneous IT environments.

Implement AI for efficiency

The average bank spends 75% of its IT resources on orchestration and control rather than innovation, limiting agility and scalability. We help financial organizations leverage AI-driven automation while ensuring security, transparency, and compliance.

Security

Strengthen cybersecurity in financial services

Financial institutions are prime targets for cyber threats. Our cybersecurity risk assessment uncovers hidden risks, prioritizes threats, and provides actionable strategies to protect your business.

Compliance

Stay compliant with evolving regulations

Financial regulations like DORA, NIS2, PSD3, GDPR, and the EU AI Act demand ongoing system adaptability. We help you maintain a secure, flexible IT environment to keep up with evolving laws and standards while reducing risk.

Maximize the value of your IT investments

In 2024, US banks invested $22 billion in FinTech and scale-ups, often facing hidden risks like legacy code, poor architecture and technical debt. Our technical due diligence services ensure smart fintech partnerships and acquisition decisions.

Modernize legacy systems for advanced tech integration

Legacy systems like COBOL slow operations, raise costs, and limit integration with modern technology. Our objective architecture scan identifies inefficiencies and maps a clear path to modernization.

Green IT

Drive sustainable finance forward with green IT

With 41% of financial institutions falling behind on their net-zero targets, the need for action is clear. We help financial organizations cut emissions, optimize IT efficiency, and stay compliant.

Improve developer experience and speed up time-to-market

Complex IT and tangled dependencies prevent developers from focusing on innovation. Our software architecture scan helps simplify IT environments, boosting capacity by 30% and accelerating feature releases up to 4.5x.
