Handelsbanken Norway optimize its operations with Tieto Banktech's SaaS solution

To become a more efficient, growth-centric entity, Handelsbanken Norway transitioned to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) setup.

Summary

Handelsbanken Norway modernized its equities trading operation by migrating ProBroker from an on-premise setup to Tieto Banktech's SaaS environment. The transition reduced maintenance efforts, enabled 24/7 support and regular updates, improved operational efficiency, and freed resources to focus on customer service, innovation, and future growth.

Challenge

Scaling challenges with an on-premise trading platform

Handelsbanken Norway, a long-standing customer of Tieto Banktech, has always relied on ProBroker for its equities trading operation. As the core solution, it played an integral part in the bank's vision to cater for growth. However, the on-premise infrastructure was limiting the bank's potential, taking up resources and slowing down access to necessary updates.

To become a more efficient, growth-centric entity, Handelsbanken Norway had to rethink its operations. The on-premise ProBroker was not only cumbersome for the bank to maintain and upgrade, but it also posed challenges for Tieto Banktech to provide seamless support. The solution was clear: a transition to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) setup.

Solution

Simplified operations

Tieto Banktech provided the ultimate solution: moving Handelsbanken to Tieto's ProBroker SaaS environment. A dedicated project team ensured a smooth transition, with data transfers and interface setups handled meticulously.

The result? A future-proofed SaaS environment for Handelsbanken Norway, with round-the-clock, frictionless support and regular updates.
