The new way to navigate a changing financial services landscape
To keep up with the fast pace of financial services, the IT team at Grupo Financiero Banorte recognized the need for an operational shift. Banorte's pre-DORA environment required improvements in its software development and delivery cycles to respond quickly and promptly to market changes and customer needs. Today, they have embraced a DevOps culture, adopting agile methodologies and automating key processes. This transformation, along with Google Cloud’s scalable infrastructure, empowered Banorte's IT teams to collaborate and deploy new features while saving a projected 30% on infrastructure costs.
The financial landscape in Mexico is fast-paced, requiring constant adaptation. We knew we needed a cutting-edge technological foundation and automated practices to respond effectively. Our Google Cloud journey, supported by DORA, has been instrumental in achieving this.
