The client is a U.S. regional bank serving commercial, retail, and small-business customers through a legacy AS/400-based core banking environment. Aging infrastructure, tightly coupled systems, and limited release flexibility constrained the bank’s ability to scale and introduce new digital services. To modernize its core platform while preserving business continuity, the bank partnered with Zymr.
The bank relied on an AS/400-based core banking system that supported critical commercial, retail, and small-business operations. However, the legacy architecture made it difficult to scale transaction processing and introduce new banking capabilities.
Tightly coupled applications and legacy integrations slowed development and increased dependency on manual processes. Limited API capabilities also made it challenging to connect the core with modern digital banking applications and third-party services.
Operational continuity was another major concern. The bank needed to modernize its core infrastructure without disrupting customer-facing banking services or creating downtime during migration.
The bank required a modern, scalable core banking platform that could support real-time processing, accelerate product innovation, strengthen operational controls, and provide greater visibility across the technology environment.
Zymr helped the bank transition from its legacy AS/400 environment to a cloud-native core banking platform through a phased modernization approach. The transformation improved scalability, release velocity, system reliability, and integration capabilities.
Zymr implemented a phased core banking modernization strategy designed to reduce migration risk while enabling the bank to transition toward a scalable cloud-native architecture.
