Challenge

To enhance its digital banking experiences, the company embarked on a strategic hybrid cloud transformation, which required a modernized and dynamic approach to observability

Industry

Financial services

Aspiring to be the leading banking and financial services group in its region, the company’s vision is to deliver the best customer experience through digital services while driving cost-efficiency. To achieve this, it sought a strategic partner to support a cloud transformation journey – the largest of its kind – using an agile operating model, harnessing DevOps and automation to increase service reliability and minimize business disruption. It also wanted to maintain end-to-end visibility across its dynamic hybrid cloud technology stack with a best-of-breed observability solution that is AI-driven, highly scalable, and fully automated.

Following a rigorous selection process, the company selected leading international ICT operator Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as its strategic partner to manage and transform its IT and cloud services.

Taking a cloud-first, business-oriented approach, TCS defined and implemented a secure, resilient, and configurable bespoke solution on TCS Enterprise Cloud. A unified technology-driven target state supported the integration and orchestration of operations across multiple platforms – including mainframe, private, and public cloud.

TCS in partnership with Dynatrace is providing 'Business Experience Monitoring as a Service' through the TCS Enterprise Cloud, enabling a best-in-class observability solution as part of the holistic transformation service.

The financial services company saw significant value in Dynatrace's advanced monitoring capabilities and support for hybrid, multicloud environments.

In particular, it appreciated Dynatrace’s extensive support for Kubernetes and its multiple extensions that enable observability into legacy applications. Dynatrace’s commitment to innovation enables the bank to keep up with new technologies, continue releasing new features, and deliver better services faster.

  • Automatic and intelligent observability

    Automatic and intelligent observability provides end-to-end visibility across a hybrid, cloud-native environment. Automated deployment maximized scalability, enabling observability to be extended from 400 to 4,000 servers for more than 90 applications.

  • Advanced AI capabilities

    Advanced AI capabilities provide instant root cause analysis, reducing mean time to diagnose problems in production by up to 100% and mean time to resolution by an estimated 30%. This AI-driven event correlation has reduced the number of incidents drastically.

  • Precise insights help improve customer experience

    Precise insights help improve customer experience and optimize performance of digital services by mapping dependencies between complex applications and database calls.

  • Better business value

    Better business value as Dynatrace seamlessly integrates with the bank’s key incident management solutions, such as ServiceNow and Slack, and reduces manual effort through automation to enable self-healing capabilities.

  • Enhanced cross-team collaboration

    Enhanced cross-team collaboration enabled by equipping more than 1,100 users across both the bank and its transformation partner’s teams with the shared visibility and intelligent insights needed to drive better business outcomes.
