Banking Technology Lifecycle Refresh Case Study

This case study outlines the lifecycle refresh program implemented by Barrister for a large bank, focusing on the modernization of over 12,000 endpoints across various branches and corporate offices. The program was designed as a continuous effort rather than a one-time project, prioritizing the replacement of the oldest and least secure machines first. Barrister managed the entire process, which included asset validation, data backup, hardware deployment, application restoration, user verification, and secure retirement of old equipment. The transition was seamless for employees, who experienced minimal disruption. The case study emphasizes the importance of data protection through a documented chain of custody, ensuring that all equipment handling met the bank's security and compliance standards. Additionally, it highlights the disciplined coordination required for deploying thousands of endpoints without interrupting operations, with performance metrics and reporting provided to the bank throughout the engagement. The partnership with Barrister is presented as a model for promoting growth and success in the banking sector.
