Case Study: Alliant Credit Union achieves secure, award-winning mobile banking with VMware

Banking Embraces Modern Secure Infrastructure to Meet Digital Demands

Alliant Credit Union, a Chicago-based nonprofit bank serving more than 335,000 members and managing over $10 billion in assets, needed to modernize its aging infrastructure to support growing demand for mobile and online banking. Legacy systems caused network bottlenecks, replication timeouts, and unreliable VPN/Citrix access, while the organization also needed stronger security and better visibility to satisfy audits and regulatory compliance.

Alliant upgraded its data centers with VMware vSphere Enterprise and added VMware NSX, vRealize Suite, and Horizon virtual desktops to enable micro-segmentation, deeper operational visibility, and consistent digital workspaces. The modernization produced faster, more reliable data loads and replication, stronger security and compliance reporting, reduced user support issues, and improved customer experiences—helping its mobile banking offering win industry recognition and positioning the credit union for DevOps and cloud migration.
