The implementation of this architecture has resulted in unprecedented simplicity in version maintenance, dynamic scaling, service governance and service discovery. These advancements have allowed CIB to offer a more agile banking environment, which has increased efficiency, enriched resiliency, streamlined operations, and improved productivity, ultimately benefiting the end-user experience.

Marwa Abbas, General Manager, IBM Egypt, said, “More than 100 project team members from CIB, IBM Customer Success and IBM Technology Expert Labs worked together to drive and complete this modernization journey. This project is a significant milestone in our long-standing relationship with CIB, as we assist CIB in adapting AI for business with a human-centered and principled approach. IBM brings deep technology, industry and domain expertise to help CIB apply AI to deliver meaningful business outcomes beyond improved productivity and efficiencies to better experiences and new business models.”
