A leading European financial institution, managing over 14 million savings and current accounts and processing 4,000+ mortgage applications daily, faced mounting pressure to modernize and stabilize its vast IT operations.
In digital banking, downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly. Regulatory penalties, lost transactions, and reduced customer confidence can all stem from IT disruptions. To stay competitive, the bank needed a smarter, faster, and more predictive approach to operations.

The Challenge: Complexity meets scale
The bank’s IT ecosystem was vast and interdependent, with:
- 540 business applications
- 64,000 batch jobs
- 700+ servers
Failures in this complex environment could halt ATM and card transactions, delay mortgage processing, and even risk non-compliance—especially if SLA-bound jobs, such as VISA credit postings, missed the critical 5 PM cut-off.
Change management was another pain point. Multiple schedulers and intricate job dependencies meant manual change planning took months—introducing operational risk and uncertainty.
The bank needed a way to predict, simulate, and automate operations without jeopardizing service delivery.
The Solution: Autonomous and predictive IT operations with ignio™
Digitate’s ignio™ AIOps delivered the intelligence and automation needed to transform the bank’s operational resiliency.
Key capabilities included:
- 360° batch job visibility and dependency mapping
