Case Study: Stockman Bank reduces integration time and vendor costs with PortX

Stockman Bank Reduces Integration Time by Over 5 Months and Vendor Integration Cost by up to $150,000

Stockman Bank, a large agricultural and commercial bank, faced challenges in its digital transformation due to the complex and expensive nature of integrating new systems with its core banking platform. To compete with larger institutions, the bank needed to improve its online capabilities but wanted to eliminate its dependency on costly, single-use integration modules from its core vendor. The bank partnered with PortX to develop a new strategy.

PortX worked with Stockman Bank to implement an API-led approach, creating a library of reusable APIs that formed an agility layer on top of the core system. This solution enabled the bank to dramatically accelerate subsequent integrations, cutting development time by five months and saving up to $150,000 in vendor fees. By leveraging PortX's expertise, Stockman Bank successfully delivered new online and teller systems while gaining the internal capability to execute future projects independently and cost-effectively.
