Partnership enables seamless transition to cloud ecosystem and integration of new fintech capabilities

NEW YORK & BANGALORE, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AnthonyRestel--Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, has partnered with Tennessee-based First Horizon Bank (FHN) to transform the core banking channels and servicing capabilities of VirtualBank, an established digital bank that FHN inherited from Louisiana-based IBERIABANK as part of the merger completed in 2020. The combined entity�s assets are approximately $87 billion.

Wipro worked with six other companies to streamline VirtualBank�s cloud migration and support its fintech stack on a public cloud ecosystem. Wipro also supported the bank�s end-to-end program management, governance, customer data conversion, migration and validation, systems integration and testing services. This partnership resulted in a comprehensive transformation of VirtualBank�s legacy technology stack to a cloud-based, Application Programming Interface (API) enabled offering.

Wipro partnered with FHN to evaluate the fintech cloud products; developed end-to-end solution architecture, core configuration and accounting fund flows; and managed customer data migration and a quality assurance plan. Wipro also invested in a real-time event aggregator capable of collecting mission critical events from various cloud sources and reconciling and reporting on them for regulatory purposes. Wipro�s business domain and technological insight and expertise contributed to a rapid cloud migration, requiring about eight months to complete the project implementation.

�Offering full cloud support to a digital bank with thousands of customers was a challenging exercise. Wipro was able to help guide the process by combining the best aspects of modern and legacy financial systems. A repeatable playbook was created for the go-live launch sequence that can bring a competitive advantage to the market. Wipro is proud to be First Horizon�s strategic business partner in this journey which has better equipped both companies for the future,� said Mahesh Raja, Vice President and Sector Head - Banking and Financial Services, Americas, Wipro Limited.

�We are proud to work with Wipro to support VirtualBank�s adoption of cloud technology and new capabilities. Through a collaborative process, we addressed the unique challenges of converting to a cloud-based ecosystem and setting up new capabilities to build upon in the future,� said Anthony Restel, Chief Operating Officer, First Horizon.

Wipro has a successful history of supporting cloud migration for a range of enterprises, taking a bespoke approach that considers the unique situation of every customer and partner to create the ideal digital transformation.
