OWNING CHANGE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
Our client is one of the largest banking institutions in the world with a portfolio of over 40 million customers.
The challenge:Bankrolling a Modernisation Against All Odds
One of our client’s key strategic priorities was to drive a digital transformation initiative, aimed at reducing paperwork and upgrading their web and mobile banking channels within their China business. Key to this was modernising the platform architecture and API infrastructure, which required additional bandwidth and specialised technical capabilities lacking in our client’s in-house team.
To drive this time-sensitive modernisation, our client needed all project resources to be onboarded within two months. They also wanted to diversify their Digital Engineering team, aiming for at least 35% female representation. A fixed budget and a desire to reduce deployment costs while also ramping-up the team with seasoned Senior Full-Stack Engineers added further complexity. Enter TEKsystems, to deliver on our client’s hiring needs with scale, flexibility, and speed.
Our proposal:On the Money, Every Single Time
Leveraging our long-standing partnership with our client, TEKsystems partnered with key stakeholders from their Digital Banking division to scope their specific requirements. We implemented our capacity engagement model and assembled a dedicated delivery team to support the multi-location ramp up of the project team.
Utilising our extensive network of pre-qualified resources and using gender balanced shortlists, we quickly deployed all project resources on-site at our client’s locations across China. To minimise the time-to-fill, we conducted rigorous up-front screening to ensure that all resources deployed were of the highest quality and were the right technical and culture fit to our client’s team and environment.
Our dedicated account management and delivery teams provided weekly progress reports and maintained a regular meeting cadence with stakeholders to provide clear visibility on resource deployment, proactively address any challenges, and ensure alignment in expectations.
Real-world Results
TEKsystems deployed 41 technical consultants within two months to support multiple modernisation and digital transformation initiatives, ahead of our client’s expected timeframe. We also increased female representation with the team and fulfilled our client’s diversity hiring targets. Our consultants quickly settled into their respective project squads, making pivotal contributions by troubleshooting issues timely, upgrading the architecture, and instilling best practice in application design and development.
Our solution helped our client reduce their administrative overheads and drive cost optimisation. By outsourcing the responsibility of resource deployment, performance and on-site people management, we were able to save our client invaluable time, effort, and costs, enabling them to focus their attention on value-adding activities that could accelerate innovation and drive business growth.
