The four Key Success Factors for Banking IT Platform Transformations

Governance and Engagement

Managing internal and external (SI) resources, coordinating stakeholders, support by PMO, communicating targets for IT platform deliverables/quality and timelines to bring all users onto the same page // we are all in the same boat 

TOM and Business Changes

Clarity of the Target Operating Model drives coherence of the to-be process model and satellite landscape - allowing the definition and hence management of required business changes to realise the expected benefits  

Business Requirements
and Strategic Reviews

Start right with the correct analysis of business requirements - arbitraging std. function usage vs customisation; leverage third-party experts to assess governance structure and functions, resourcing levels and solution quality 

IT Platform Expertise and Transformation Skillsets

Ensure that the implementation team has sufficient expertise in all IT platform components e.g. structured products, digital banking, etc; likewise, staff with managers with a successful track record in business and IT platform transformations
