Case Study: ABN AMRO Bank achieves 75% lower operating costs and faster digital transformation with Microsoft Azure

When this bank needed more than technology to make its digital migration succeed, Microsoft delivered

ABN AMRO, one of the Netherlands’ largest full-service banks, faced a do-or-die IT modernization: after two failed attempts it needed to unify four Active Directory domains, migrate 35,000 user accounts and rationalize more than 2,000 applications so employees could get consistent access and the bank could speed delivery of new products and services.

Partnering with Microsoft, ABN AMRO used Azure Active Directory Migration Service plus Microsoft Enterprise Services for onsite support, change management and a programmatic, self-service migration approach. The bank consolidated domains and apps on time and on budget, reduced operating effort and costs by up to 75%, increased employee satisfaction and collaboration, and gained the agility to accelerate innovation, acquisitions and time-to-market.
