Replacing or upgrading a core banking system should never be tak- en lightly, and for many banks technology projects are viewed with extreme caution and dread. But how long can a legacy system meet future business needs, if at all? If you find your system wanting and are ready to set out on the journey to replacement, how should you go about it? What advice can others offer, and what are the pitfalls and best practices to ensure you arrive safely and successfully at your destination?


IBS Intelligence talks to a range of experienced industry participants to get their take and practical recommendations on this thorny mat- ter. They have got scars to show from previous projects and don’t mince their words, and are surely worth listening to.
