Handelsbanken Norway optimize its operations with Tietoevry Banking’s SaaS solution

The challenge

Handelsbanken Norway, a long-standing customer of Tietoevry, 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 Tietoevry in providing seamless support. The solution was clear: a transition to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) setup.

The solution

Tietoevry Banking provided the ultimate solution: moving Handelsbanken to Tietoevry'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.

About the customer

“Thanks to a dedicated and experienced team at Tietoevry, a lean and surprisingly small migration project took our operation safely from the on-site set up to a SaaS environment in line with the project plan. The SaaS experience in production gives, as promised, frictionless support. With hosting removed from the equation, our focus can be put on end-customers and exploring new digital opportunities, which is in line with Handelsbanken’s ambitions”, says Cibyl Ekstrøm Kjerstad, Head of Wealth & Asset Management Norway, Handelsbanken.
