How to compete and differentiate in the world of technology democratization, where all market players can have access to sophisticated technological solutions? What really matters and makes the difference is the way the technology is being adapted. And we believe that the heart of smart technology adoption is scaling. Scalability enables cost efficient growth, quick responding to customers’ needs and high quality & security of services. Main driver of scalability in [email protected] strategy is Core Banking Ecosystem Transformation (GOcore).

The role of GOcore Tribe was created to manage the value delivery of core banking ecosystem transformation.

Goals of GOcore are following:

1. Reducing the dependency between the Core Banking Ecosystem and other bank systems (with an emphasis on channels) to:
   • shorten Time To Market;
   • reduce costs;
   • reduce the risk of the bank's business development.
2. Providing platforms, re-usable in various areas of the bank, ensuring scalability and, as a result, lower unit costs and lower risk of processes carried out on these platforms.
3. Limiting the business logic and functional scope of current core banking system in order to prepare for future core-banking exchange.

All of the above is to reduce the cost, time and risk associated with potential core banking replacement in the future.

GOcore in 2022 was conducted in a form of a Program, so you won’t start from scratch – reference architecture, roadmap, business case, first validations with the Group, organization set-up are already in place, ready for continuous improvement & adaption (yes, we deliver value in agile way of working).

Who are my Customers?

My Customers are the Customers of the Bank (existing and potential). However, it is possible that the users of our Products are not directly the end-Customer of the Bank but an another Tribe, itself serving the end-Customers (for example a Tribe focused on a Product that is an enabler to other Products, such as a CRM Platform).

We are all partners joining forces to deliver Value to the end-Customers.
