Infrastructure Cost ReductionCustomer Profile – This UK-based Investment Bank provides a wide range of products to commercial, large corporate and institutional customers.

Following a strategic change in direction the bank implemented a significant cost reduction programme focusing on strategic stronger and more sustainable businesses. Annual cost reduction targets are in excess of £1bn per annum

The Challenge - Reduction targets where not being met due to multiple disjointed initiatives suffering from a lack of cohesion and partnership between business, application and infrastructure teams.

The bank needed to accelerate the delivery of infrastructure cost reductions at the same time as maintaining a high level of customer service. There was a need to raise employee engagement to ensure that staff were focused and motivated to contribute to the long-term success of the bank.

How StrataPrime Helped - Using a tried and tested pragmatic approach and methodology we increased the focus, partnership and cohesion of existing programmes of work. An integrated communications plan from initial engagement through to strategic cultural change transformed the identification and delivery of infrastructure estate reductions.

The scope of our remit expanded from one initial technology unit to Investment Bank wide coverage after the realisation of how our approach and methodology increased employee engagement and delivery of benefits.

The Result - The Investment Bank is back on track to reduce its infrastructure estate to meet two-year targets. Increased partnership between business, application and infrastructure teams has also enabled significant long-term challenges to be tackled utilising the most cost-effective infrastructure platforms and offerings.

Improved Service DeliveryCustomer Profile – This international financial services provider engages in personal, corporate and investment banking, credit cards and wealth management with an extensive global presence.

A new infrastructure organisation combined infrastructure units from across disparate business units. The service delivery organisation was responsible for managing the delivery, costs, service quality of the combined infrastructure organisation.

The Challenge – The combined infrastructure organisation was difficult for clients and customers to navigate. Delivery and Service Quality targets were not being met with a lack of awareness and cultural differences.

Tension was building between business, application and infrastructure teams with a lack of trust and partnership to work together to improve service delivery, efficiency and cost reduction.

Due to disjointed strategy, initiatives and projects teams were unable to gain commitment and traction to deliver cost reduction and service improvements in both the short and long term.

Application and infrastructure support teams were unable to look beyond the short term running of the service with a lack of focus, clarity of targets and KPIs.

How StrataPrime Helped – Working closely with key stakeholders we formed strong partnerships across business, application and infrastructure teams.

Working across all levels of resources in the organisation we identified process, automation and workflow improvements to realise service improvements. Governance and initiatives were put in place to track implementation of initiatives and realisation of target KPIs. Monthly reporting packs were delivered to business COOs, CTOs and key management stakeholders.

A communications and engagement plan ensured accountable teams understood expectations and the rationale behind initiative and targets

The Result -

We successfully reduced the physical server estate by 20% whilst providing additional capacity to satisfy increasing business volumes. The infrastructure cost base was reduced by 28% in one year.

Forming a strong partnership between infrastructure and application teams we achieved over 80% reduction in high severity incidents.
