Upgrading a Big Bank From On-Premise to Cloud SaaS Based Aprimo

Doing things because "we've always done it that way" just doesn't work anymore. More businesses are realizing that every day. The cloud and other advanced technologies are revolutionizing the way business gets done.

Companies in various industries around the globe are leveraging cloud technology for a wide variety of services. Manufacturing and distributing companies are using cloud-based robots to manage their inventory. Companies that manage data are using AI and RPA to maintain compliance.

The banking industry is no different. Big bank software is slowly but surely being transitioned to the cloud. Companies like Aprimo are showing the traditional financial institutions how stepping into the modern era can help them thrive.

In today's article, we're going to show you what Aprimo has done for big banks and other major financial institutions. So, read along with us. There's a lot to learn.

Get your pen and pad ready because you're going to want to take notes!

To see what Aprimo can do, we should take a look at a particular case study. But, first, let's talk about Aprimo itself.

Aprimo is a company that uses experience-led consulting to bring big bank software into the new age. Our goal is to help brands bring engaging, new experiences to their customers.

With Aprimo, companies can store different file types, access rich media, and increase their team's efficiency with a singular content management solution.

Big Bank Case Study

Here it is. The case study example you've all been waiting for. In this example, our team at voolama leveraged Aprimo's content curating platform to bring a big bank over to the cloud. This bank was stuck using old, outdated workflows.

That was because they were originally using an on-premise version of our software. While the on-premise software worked for years and grew their business by leaps and bounds, it was time for them to leverage the cloud.

The plan was to migrate them from on-premise software to the SaaS cloud-based solution Aprimo can offer.

The Client

Let's take a look at the first aspect of our case study, the client in question. As stated before, the client is a U.S.-based bank. This particular bank isn't exactly small. It employs over 100,000 people.

Their primary focus is enterprise banking.

The Need

This banking client was struggling with their on-premise version of the software. It came time for them to think about how they could find a better solution. They also wanted to leverage the benefits of modern software and they wanted to cut costs.

That's why they decided to initiate a migration to the cloud. The on-premise software platform had become outdated and tough to maintain. They also weren't getting much support from their vendor.

They knew it was time to move on to something new.

The Problem

To migrate the bank from an on-premise solution to a SaaS solution, there were some problems that were necessary to tackle. The first was their current software.

The software they were currently using was old. Frustration was starting to grow. Users felt the most recent cloud-based Aprimo tools would make them more efficient. It would also make their jobs easier.

The bank was also dealing with slow response times. The version of Aprimo being used was old. There were a lot of issues with lagging, and conducting daily tasks was a sluggish experience.

The bank was also in a position where it was necessary for them to start saving money. Their budget was a concern, but they didn't want to have to worry about internal software upgrades. In the past, those upgrades had proven to be cumbersome and expensive.

The big picture was that user satisfaction was at an all-time low. Management at the bank was beginning to get fed up with having to support a tool that was coming to its end. They were basically keeping their old version of Aprimo on life support.

It was time to pull the plug!

The Solution

Overall, the solution was to move the bank over to our cloud-based Aprimo SaaS solution. Making that shift gave both employees and management at the bank everything they needed. We were able to provide value and put their minds at ease in a few different ways.

The first way was by adding functionality. The cloud-based version of Aprimo provided way more tools than the outdated on-premise version. All of the new features available, thanks to the cloud, made the bank run much more smoothly than it had in the past.

The best part is not only did they become more efficient, but they saved money too.

The next value-add we were able to give them was better saving. The money that was used to keep the on-premise Aprimo suite afloat could now be put back into the bank's pocket. The savings for this big bank would amount to millions of dollars over the lifetime of the new cloud-based software.

Finally, all of the changes brought about by the cloud-based Aprimo software made the employees happier. They adapted to the changes and were happy with the way things were working now on the platform.

Employees that weren't supporters of the platform became raving fans overnight.

It wasn't easy by any means, but moving to a cloud-based solution was well worth all of the work. Employees became much happier and everyone in the organization is now a fan of the Aprimo solution.

Admin and management within the big bank were happy to offer solutions and suggestions. They were happy to be part of the solution and offer feedback on how to improve those old, clunky, and outdated workflows.

The Cloud Is The Champ

The big bank in our case study was able to reach new levels thanks to their cloud-based solution from Aprimo. They were able to streamline their workflows, cut costs, save money, and make their employees happier in the process.
