Case Study: Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding achieves a smooth post-merger integration with Capgemini

Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding - Customer Case Study

Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding sought to integrate its newly acquired IMPEXBANK with its existing Raiffeisenbank subsidiary in Russia, a complex post-merger challenge due to the diverse nature of both entities. The goal was to create the country's largest foreign banking group and sustain long-term dynamic growth. To achieve this, they collaborated with vendor Capgemini on a post-merger integration engagement.

Capgemini implemented a structured 14-month solution, applying its proven post-merger integration methodology across business, operations, and IT transformation streams. The vendor managed 26 integration clusters and facilitated a final conversion event involving up to 600 people. As a result, Raiffeisenbank successfully harmonized its product catalog, improved its cost-to-income ratio, and was able to continue its organic growth by opening 80 new branches in 2007, fulfilling all shareholder commitments on time and within budget.
