Arab National Bank's Transformation Journey with Riverbed
Arab National Bank has recently engaged in a transformative initiative, harnessing Riverbed's cutting-edge observability and AIOps solutions. This collaboration aims to elevate the bank's digital services and provide unparalleled customer experiences.
Seamless Core Banking Migration
By implementing Riverbed's platform, which includes Network and Infrastructure Observability and AIOps, the bank successfully migrated its core banking application. This migration serves a vast customer base of over two million and supports more than 4,000 employees. With a seamless transition and modernized infrastructure, the bank aims to cater to the evolving needs of its customer landscape.
Expertise in Digital Banking
The commitment of Arab National Bank to provide innovative financial solutions is at the forefront of its mission. Alaa ElJabari, the Head of IT Telecoms, emphasizes Riverbed’s pivotal role. He states that with tools like NetProfiler and AppResponse, the IT team can swiftly identify issues and rectify them, ensuring that the bank's digital platforms maintain the highest performance standards.
Significant Upgrade to Core Systems
This recent upgrade involved the migration to Infosys Finacle—a leading universal banking solution. Such crucial changes occur infrequently, often just once every decade, requiring precise planning and flawless execution. Riverbed's assistance was instrumental, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted service delivery during this critical period.
Proactive Monitoring with Riverbed Tools
Additionally, Riverbed's NetIM solution provided the bank significant insights into their operational landscape. This observability tool enables Arab National Bank to proactively maintain service quality and deliver superior experiences during and after system upgrades. The successful adaptation of new technologies aligns perfectly with their future goals.
