PUNE (MUMBAI): Accenture and Bank of Baroda have successfully completed the technology integration of the former Vijaya Bank’s branches with Bank of Baroda – part of the post-merger integration of the first three-way merger of public sector banks in India. Accenture is now helping align former Dena Bank’s IT systems with Bank of Baroda.
The merger of Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank with Bank of Baroda in 2019 created the country's third largest public sector bank. Upon completion, the combined technology architecture will help the merged entity seamlessly integrate its India-wide customer service and business operations network of nearly 9,000 bank branches and more than 12,000 ATMs.
In its role as lead technology partner, Accenture developed
the blueprint for consolidating the IT systems of the three banks and is
overseeing the execution of the technology integration strategy, which includes
data migration, application and data center consolidation, as well as business
continuity management. With the completion of the Vijaya Bank migrati
on, around
21 million customers from across 1,900+ Vijaya Bank branches have been
seamlessly migrated to Bank of Baroda. The migration was executed remotely
during the ongoing pandemic with no impact on business continuity.
Sharad Saxena, Chief Technology Officer, Bank of Baroda said, “Accenture’s role in the consolidation of the technology infrastructure of former Vijaya Bank with that of Bank of Baroda has helped us offer a smooth, hassle-free experience to our customers during the migration. The integrated technology architecture gives former Vijaya Bank customers the ability to opt for Bank of Baroda’s entire suite of offerings, while continuing to use their existing payment instruments until further notice.”
“Technology plays a pivotal role in successful post-merger integration and unlocking value for all stakeholders,” said Sonali Kulkarni, Lead – Financial Services, Accenture in India. “With this collaboration, our objective has been to minimize disruption to the employees and customers across the three banks, while enabling business continuity.”
