Challenge

Modernize Japan’s financial services sector

To improve operational efficiency, Japanese financial institutions urgently needed to modernize their legacy systems. The industry faced several challenges, including flexibility, development speed, and complex regulations.

Additional platform enhancements, such as containerization, continue to boost efficiency. OpenCanvas runs the financial settlement system used by many financial institutions in Japan.

Using Red Hat automation and cloud technologies, NTT DATA increased its flexibility and the development speed of new customer services. The platform also helped NTT DATA offer more competitive pricing, leading to a significant reduction in operating costs. NTT DATA plans to expand this success across industries using Red Hat technologies.
