CHALLENGE
Enabling digital transformation
A leading European banking group sought a scalable IT development model to support its ambitious growth and digital transformation plans.
To achieve this, the bank partnered with 7N to build a hybrid captive development center, ensuring high-quality IT delivery while maintaining operational flexibility.
SOLUTION
From pilot project to scaled success
7N and the client launched a pilot project in 2015, starting with a small team of five consultants.
Following its success, they designed a hybrid captive model, ensuring a composite workforce by integrating the client’s existing IT consultants while continuously recruiting top-tier talent. Key milestones included:
Initial scale-up to 150 consultants
Achieved within 1.5 years - almost one year ahead of schedule
Expansion to 350 consultants
Due to its success, the partnership was re-scoped in 2017 to establish a fully operational development center covering:
-
Programming & Data Analytics
-
Quality Assurance (QA)
-
Product Delivery & Management
IMPACT
