Traditional banks have historically moved slower than digital challengers. But now, they are now beginning to introduce new financial experiences that their digital counterparts cannot offer. GFT and Thought Machine argue that the banks that can get these experiences to market before their competitors will be those that get a head start in modernising their underlying legacy infrastructures.

GFT and Thought Machine to address banks’ largest infrastructural challenges

US banks and financial institutions are now in the position to begin undergoing large-scale infrastructure transformation. GFT has 35-plus years of experience partnering with global banks on their digital journeys.

GFT is a leading implementation partner of Thought Machine’s Vault Core. Built on truly cloud-native design principles, Vault Core allows banks to define their path for transformation. The technology is pivotal to launching digital-first greenfield banks, offering new technology capabilities that coexist with their existing core system or migrating from legacy to digital architectures.

“Many banks and financial institutions are confident about the benefits of modernising their core infrastructures. Until now – there has been no viable option in the market for giving banks the technology capabilities and maturity of software they need to innovate meaningfully while offering an agile solution for coexistence and migration of legacy products.,” said Brian Dempsey, Partnerships Director, at Thought Machine.
