One Platform, 80%+ Test Coverage for Digital Payments

Challenges

A top global financial services provider, known for innovative investment solutions and client excellence, needed to modernize its payment platform, and the gap between where it stood and where it needed to be was significant. The company required an agile, scalable, modernized money movement platform with complete visibility into all payment transactions across every user, but what it had instead were different platforms for different payment transactions, running on older legacy systems that made it genuinely difficult to offer quick access and solutions to users. That fragmentation created real IT challenges around continuity and scalability, since data was scattered across systems rather than unified, and even basic data analysis had become time-consuming simply because the information lived in too many places at once. 

Solution

  • A Common Framework for Digital Payments

    Ascendion delivered quick access to a modernized platform for cross-business transactions, building a common framework for digital payments designed to ensure business continuity across every transaction type, rather than patching one legacy platform at a time. 

  • Scaling and Modernizing Through a Co-Engineering Model

    Ascendion scaled refinement queries and analyzed the client’s existing automated testing for framework integration, then pushed for cloud implementation, working in a co-engineering model to get there together rather than handing off a finished solution. Legacy transactions were modernized using an AWS cloud solution, giving the platform the scalability and agility it had been missing.
