Case Study: Finastra accelerates fintech innovation with Microsoft Azure

Finastra pioneers next-generation fintech ecosystem, powered by Microsoft Azure

Finastra, a global financial technology company, sought to champion collaboration in the fintech space by creating an open development ecosystem for banks and third-party developers. Their challenge was to build a fast, secure, and globally compliant Platform as a Service (PaaS) that could integrate with existing banking systems, powered by Microsoft and its Azure cloud.

The solution was built on Microsoft Azure, leveraging services like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Active Directory, and Azure API Management. This provided a secure, scalable, and open-source-friendly environment. The results included a ten-fold increase in calculation speeds for some clients, streamlined API management, and a powerful hybrid cloud connectivity that allows banks to innovate quickly while maintaining compliance, accelerating fintech innovation for Microsoft's customer Finastra.
