The legacy architecture of traditional banks is a constraint to thriving in the digital era. A roadblock to digital transformation in financial services, legacy architecture constrains banks from capitalizing on new opportunities, complying with regulatory demands, and competing with fintechs. Legacy modernization programs have thus emerged as an urgent need. Banks recognize the need for mainframe modernization but face challenges in application migration and lack clarity on the strategy. The way forward is to design a suitable platform modernization strategy with an agile, cloud-enabled application architecture, underpinned by micro-services and application programming interface (API) frameworks, and equipped with the capability to embrace artificial intelligence technologies. To achieve this, banks need to choose from three legacy modernization strategies:
Using third-party packages
Undertaking inhouse upgrades
Adopting a combination of third-party packages and inhouse upgrades
The critical role of the Chief Risk Officer in Mergers and Acquisitions
Greenwashing in Financial Services: Why it Matters and What to do
Change and Resilience – Learning from Failures
Making banking services more accessible
