In addition, implementing an organization-wide big data analytics enabled it to gain actionable insights that can help improve the quality of its products and in turn increase profitability.

Shinhan Bank is one of the leading banks with the longest history in South Korea.. It has more than 900 domestic branches, and has been leading financial ICT industry technology changes through ATM, call center, PC banking and online banking. Shinhan Bank is expanding its overseas services to the rest of the globe through a network of more than 160 partners in 20 countries.

Shinhan Bank aims to continuously expand its services with local affiliates to expand its local services in the world. In order to expand its API-related services quickly and efficiently, the bank embarked on an initiative to build a large-scale, cloud-based front-end processing system. It also adopted DevOps processes to enable it to use open source and cloud-native service implementation technologies with strong security capabilities.

Shinhan Bank’s main driver for the project was to secure a microservice architecture and capacity to build container-based and cloud-native services as the existing services were built on a monolithic architecture. Shinhan Bank used Red Hat OpenShift to shorten the system development life cycle and gain standardized container technology and microservice development capabilities. OpenShift also provided Shinhan Bank with a microservice architecture that enabled it to use a global clustering OPC (one point copy) system to only run workloads that are relevant to each country’s needs, leading to accelerated services and lower operating costs. Additionally, the solution provides an on-ramp to hybrid cloud as part of its cloud strategy. This is key in providing the bank with the flexibility it requires to move workloads between environments - using between its private cloud for app development and testing, and the public cloud for production and services to its customers.

With origins tracing back to 1875, Heritage Bank is Australia’s largest customer-owned bank and is one of the longest running financial institutions in Australia. Founded in Toowoomba, Heritage Bank prides itself on its “People First” ethos, and is committed to improving an excellent customer experience.

Currently, Heritage Bank is in the midst of a digital transformation to better meet its goal of delivering great customer experiences every time. However, its monolithic 40-year-old core system resulted in siloed teams and limited the bank’s architectural vision. Its business model needed to change, and the bank believed it was necessary to take an outside-in approach when architecting, delivering and evolving a digital platform.

To address that, Heritage Bank engaged Red Hat Open Innovation Labs, and was able to apply three strategies - microservices, APIs and containers - to create highly configurable architecture, to help Heritage Bank respond more quickly to market demands. The immersive nature of the Red Hat Open Innovation Labs experience also resulted in the bank having empowered, multi-disciplinary teams to better support the business.

By powering the new operating model within its IT team with Red Hat solutions, Heritage Bank’s IT team can now support business initiatives more effectively. The solutions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Red Hat Fuse, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Ansible Automation, Red Hat 3scale API Management, and Red Hat Satellite. With improved developer productivity, architecture efficiency and operational cost model, the bank estimates it saved at least 20% of time per developer and reduced the cost of maintaining its platforms significantly. The bank’s newfound agility and speed are helping it to continue to break down complexity, legacy components and capability within its ageing core, and move towards adopting a new, digitally designed and API-enabled core banking system to continue to provide exceptional service to its customers.

Optus serves content and telecommunications capabilities to more than 10 million Australian mobile subscribers and provides enterprise services to many of Australia’s small, medium and large businesses.

As part of its 2020 CX Vision, Optus is aiming to transform customer experience by delivering exceptional value and digital experiences for customers.

To drive customer experience improvements, Optus developed a Cloud Core Contact Centre (C4), a cloud-native platform that allows microservices to be quickly developed and deployed in a DevOps environment with strong security capabilities. C4 breaks down complex monolith systems into smaller services, with each performing a precise functionality. Since a single microservice can be used in various use cases to perform the same function, Optus’ agile teams can prevent repeated efforts, resulting in faster iteration of new customer care functionalities. Optus also managed to adopt DevOps practices with C4. Featuring CI/CD pipelines with embedded security compliance checks, C4 enables the telco to modify architectures and release software without impacting the stability of operations or compromising the security of customer sensitive information.

With all these capabilities, Optus can rapidly develop and integrate new service technology functions – such as voice notes and intelligent routing – across its voice and messaging channels to deliver better customer experience. For instance, the Red Hat OpenShift-backed C4 supports the real-time transcription of customer calls and automation of categorisation of the transcript (also known as voice notes). These moves aim to help Optus’ contact centre agents capture more information from customer calls and reduce the time needed to summarise those calls. C4 also enables Optus’ service operations team to personalise the routing experience for customers who call. By doing so, Optus can help customers more effectively with minimal customer input, which could result in an enhanced customer experience.

As part of its digital strategy, OCBC Bank modernized its technology architecture to enable it to deliver superior customer experience, deepen relationships and to grow its franchise.

With Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, and its ability to enable an automated container management process that supports provisioning, deployment, and scaling of containers across multiple hosts/nodes, as well as automatic health checks to enable high availability in expected workloads, the bank can take an innovative approach in developing new services and releasing them to the market at a faster rate.

Red Hat OpenShift also offers an open source architecture that enables applications to run across physical, virtual, public, private, or hybrid cloud infrastructure. This has enabled the bank to adopt an agile and human-centric design methodology that helped them to considerably enhance customer experience through continual improvements and adjustments to the UI/UX. The open source architecture also enabled it to integrate its offerings with WeChat Pay, enabling WeChat users to more easily make payments when visiting Malaysia. Collectively, based on its estimates, the new capabilities helped HLB reduce in-house app development and go-to-market time by 40 to 60%, depending on complexity, and lower the cost to market by 40 to 60%.

According to a recent report, 71% of working age individuals from the middle to lower income bracket in Indonesia have no access to credit last year.

To help boost financial inclusion in the country, PT Bank Central Asia (BCA) sought to become more agile, developing and deploying services in a more responsive manner. This motivated them to move away from its legacy enterprise application integration platform into one that offered API-based integration and enable greater agility.

By deploying Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat 3Scale API Management with the help of Red Hat Consulting, BCA gained a modern architecture based on APIs to integrate its internal systems and applications faster and in a scalable manner. Since the architecture has also been verified to adhere to BCA’s standard IT security policy and governance, it enabled the company’s IT application teams to develop and deploy applications more securely and efficiently. These capabilities helped accelerate time to market of new initiatives and features of existing products, which ultimately empowers the bank to cater its services to the financial needs of both its existing customers as well as the unbanked.

Telkomsel, the largest cellular operator in Indonesia, serves around 168 million customers today and brings telecommunications service access across the country. Being the first to commercially launch 4G LTE mobile services in Indonesia, the company prides itself on consistent innovation to expand its digital business, including digital lifestyle, mobile financial services, digital advertising, Big Data, and Internet of Things (IoT).

Established in 1995, Telkomsel’s legacy systems hindered it from moving faster to accommodate business and customer needs as its business grew. To counter this and increased competition, Telkomsel set out a strategic business direction in 2017 to undergo digital transformation and stay ahead of the curve.

To address the challenge of monolithic and siloed systems, duplicate functions and a complex integration process which required heavy investments of resources just to keep the lights on, the telco embarked on a Digital Core platform and migrated to cloud-native applications using containers and microservices with Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform, to eliminate duplicate services and accelerate speed to market. API-based services also simplified the integration with third-party partners and enabled it to pilot three new products in its Digital Core project: a browse and purchase product, customer information service and a mobile wallet service.

Since working with Red Hat, Telkomsel has been able to improve its agility, thereby achieving a three-fold improvement in its time to market for delivering new products. Automating its processes has also freed up resources to innovate and improve its customer service levels.

ANZ Bank (ANZ) is one of the five largest listed companies in Australia by market capitalization and a leading bank in New Zealand, serving both consumers and businesses in the region. In 2017, ANZ needed to increase the speed of its software release cycle after the work in their API platform had grown significantly during the previous year. To enable a continuous integration and continuous delivery process, ANZ migrated to a solution based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Gluster Storage, Red Hat Ansible Tower, and Red Hat Satellite.

The project began in phases in 2017, with migration of more than 25 services into containers within nine months. Using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, ANZ reports it reduced deployment time from hours to minutes, allowed development teams to deploy their own code into production, automated configuration, and enabled zero downtime deployments. The team also engaged Red Hat Consulting to help upskill the team and migrate the solution.

Since its initial rollout, ANZ added a Blue-Green deployment capability - a methodology that creates two identical production environments which enable upgrades to be made in the parallel environment and facilitate rollbacks to the old environment should a problem surface - in a matter of weeks. This created a continuous integration (CI) service that superseded its old CI processes.

The NZ Customs protects and promotes New Zealand at the border.
