The challenge
IPSL needed infrastructure that could carry a national instant payment switch through the transition to ISO 20022.
- Legacy infrastructure lacked elasticity and was hard to scale.
- 24/7 transaction volumes demanded a high-availability architecture.
- Manual deployments slowed rollouts and increased the risk of human error.
- Sensitive financial data required an isolated, secure environment.
What we did
Our full-stack squad and project manager implemented a Kubernetes-based infrastructure for the switch, using Infrastructure as Code. Delivery was fully remote and on schedule, and we added value-added services for stability, resilience and ROI.
Results
- 01Scalable, secure Kubernetes platform running IPSL's instant payment switch.
- 02Infrastructure as Code replacing manual deployments.
- 0324/7/365 L3 support over a two-year support period, structured to optimise total cost of ownership.
The outcome
IPSL's infrastructure is now more agile, resilient and cost-effective, ready to scale with its customer base and supporting the national switch's move to ISO 20022 messaging.
