Case Study: Allied Irish Banks achieves greater efficiency and increased ROI with beqom's Total Compensation on Microsoft Azure

Allied Irish Banks poised to increase efficiency and ROI with beqom’s reward system on Microsoft Azure

Allied Irish Banks (AIB), Ireland’s largest financial institution, emerged from the 2008 crisis with a slimmer workforce and suspended pay rises, prompting a rethink of how to reward and motivate employees. The bank needed a secure, integrated, performance-based rewards system to replace spreadsheet silos and pull data from multiple HR, performance, and analytics systems—while meeting strict banking regulations and working across a hybrid cloud environment.

AIB selected beqom’s Total Compensation running on Microsoft Azure, building 15 interfaces and using Azure services (Virtual Network Gateways, Traffic Manager, Redis Cache, Cloud Services, and Storage) to integrate systems securely and quickly. The solution gives managers a single console for salary and performance decisions, standardizes reward matrices, automates approval workflows, reduces manual work, improves compliance, lowers infrastructure costs, and increases ROI—providing a flexible platform to support cultural and operational transformation.
