Case Study: Finastra achieves company-wide skills development and 90% employee activation with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Why Finastra adopted LinkedIn Learning to provide avenues for critical skill development, and achieve its goal of becoming the number one Open platform for innovation in financial services

Finastra, a global financial‑technology firm formed from multiple mergers, needed a cohesive, company‑wide approach to learning and development. After inheriting many disparate training cultures, the organisation lacked relevant, scalable content and clear pathways for broad skill development—critical gaps that threatened its strategic goals (accelerating cloud, expanding Banking‑as‑a‑Service) and its ability to retain top talent.

Finastra adopted LinkedIn Learning, built a Skills Taxonomy and targeted learning paths, added its own product content, and launched initiatives like the DEAL (Drop Everything and Learn) program with strong leadership and admin support. The rollout drove high engagement—90% activation, 6,000 unique views of Accelerate Cloud content, 700–1,100 weekly active learners averaging 1–2.5 hours of learning, and an award for Best Culture of Learning—demonstrating measurable progress toward its skills and strategic objectives.
