Accelerating growth and agility for BNP Paribas with a mission critical asset platform

Growth was constrained by operational reality. To maintain speed to market and unlock value creation, BNP Paribas needed an IT platform that could scale with demand while remaining predictable under pressure. Managing billions of euros in assets and enabling trade execution requires high-volume data processing, seamless integrations, and automation at scale.  
 
However, without a consistently reliable and adaptable platform, onboarding new pension funds and therefore expanding the asset portfolio, became increasingly difficult. BNP Paribas was looking for more than technology. They needed a partner who could ensure that every change would strengthen stability, security, and compliance rather than put it at risk. 

We started with a diagnosis before prescribing. 
By assessing the full application landscape, we identified which components required migration, modernization, or optimization within a new architecture. From there, we co-created a platform that is both flexible and resilient, designed to evolve without disruption. 
 
Together with BNP Paribas, we: 

• Increased platform flexibility, making onboarding of new pension funds and partners straightforward 
• Embedded security and compliance by design, aligned with top-tier regulatory standards 
• Engineered for continuous availability, ensuring 100% uptime for mission-critical operations 

This approach resulted in a partnership model where change is no longer a risk, but a controlled capability, executed frequently and without major incidents. 
 

The impact was both operational and strategic. 

•  IT costs decreased while platform efficiency and scalability increased 
• Onboarding new pension funds shifted from up to a year to just weeks 
• Change freezes were reduced from over a year to approximately 14 days, enabling continuous business evolution 

The platform now supports reliable data delivery and reporting, empowering asset managers to manage portfolios and execute daily operations with confidence. 
Most importantly, BNP Paribas regained the ability to grow on their terms. 
 
Following this success, BNP Paribas extended the partnership to replicate the platform in the United States, further scaling the model internationally.
