While Fransabank has seen more than its share change since its foundation in 1921, the current technological changes that are transforming the banking sector globally are perhaps the most significant the bank has ever experienced. In particular, the shifting demands of customers are the most significant cause of change.
“Our millennial customer base is growing faster than any other demographic. These customers want new capabilities quickly” said Roland Tabib, Chief Information Officer at Fransabank.
To increase its ability to scale its IT services efficiently and launch new services seamlessly, while eliminating its reliance on legacy infrastructure, Fransabank opted to deploy VMware’s vSAN and vSphere solutions as the kernel of its datacenter to become truly software defined.
CCI was the perfect fit to help the bank bring digital banking services to the Lebanese market and to implement a fully Software Defined Network Solution based on VMware and allowing the bank to touch immediate benefits:
- Agile platform for rapid deployment of services
- Ability to launch digital banking services
- Higher performance with less administration
- Reduced maintenance, power and cooling costs
- Efficient scaling of IT services
