Case study: Credit card service system
The credit card system provided by CCA Europe.pl has cut the cost of IT architecture maintenance at Credit Agricole Bank Polska.
BUSINESS PARTNER
Credit Agricole Bank Polska is part of the Credit Agricole Group, one of the largest and most stable financial groups worldwide. In Poland, the Credit Agricole Group has been operating since 2001, following the acquisition of 75% of shares of LUKAS Bank. The company has over 4,500 employees.
THE CHALLENGE
The project implemented by CCA Europe.pl focused on the modernization of IT architecture supporting credit card payments. For Credit Agricole, this is one of the most sensitive business areas. A denied card payment due to a malfunction can negatively affect the client’s emotions.
The bank sought a provider able to develop a completely new credit card payment processing system in the form of a core banking system module based on PROFILE. Migration of all card data to the central banking system was also part of the project.
THE SOLUTION
The project deadlines were very tight. CCA Europe has reorganized its internal structure to meet the project standards applied by international institutions such as Crédit Agricole.
To improve the project course, CCA Europe.pl moved the company’s location to the same building as the bank’s headquarters. This allowed the members of the joint team to discuss the work on a daily basis and overcome the bottlenecks together.
