Case Study: European Bank for Reconstruction and Development achieves scalable, trusted reference data and greater agility with TIBCO Software

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Improves Processes Systems and Employee Trust

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), a London‑based development bank active across three continents, faced growing volumes of financial, reference, and master data that outstripped legacy tools and created friction across teams. The Data Management group needed a holistic, flexible platform to reduce duplicated effort, improve reference data quality, and enable the bank to scale, accelerate cloud adoption, and support advisory and third‑party activities.

EBRD modernized with TIBCO—upgrading BusinessWorks, EBX, and Messaging—and deployed an EBX‑based Reference Data Hub and a central party repository, consolidating 20 party locations into a single instance and migrating 148 indicators with 600 activity variations. The new platform improved data reliability, reporting, and employee trust, enabled more agile delivery and responsive service, and supported a robust COVID‑19 response of 62 projects worth €1.6 billion.
