UKRSIBBANK with 1st prize in Best in Cloud 2023

The implementation won recognition from the jury of the 11th edition of the competition Best in Cloud , organized by the editors of Computerworld. UKRSIBBANK with a project based on Polcom Cloud took 1st place in the category “Best implementation of a cloud service in the last 12 months”. This is the culmination of the financial institution’s huge commitment to the innovative development of banking and its continuous efforts to provide the highest quality of services to its customers.

Polcom has provided the bank with a cloud-based Disaster Recovery solution that enables rapid restoration of IT infrastructure in case of sudden incidents or disasters. As a result, UKRSIBBANK provides services uninterruptedly, which is crucial for the highest quality of customer service and affects the company’s continuous development.

What has UKRSIBBANK gained?

In today’s dynamic and unpredictable world, ensuring business continuity of IT systems is a key element for any institution, especially in the financial sector. By implementing a Disaster Recovery solution, UKRSIBBANK has gained the ability to quickly and efficiently restore key services in the event of disasters or failures, minimizing potential losses resulting from the unavailability of banking applications.

As part of the project arrangements, Polcom provided a backup data center for key systems used by UKRSIBBANK – including SAP. In addition, Polcom provided a dedicated server environment for Oracle systems. The migration of the bank’s systems to a Polish cloud provider also included the implementation of safeguards against DDoS attacks, a real threat emanating from Russian territory.

The project implemented for UKRSIBBANK is a clear indication of how important it is nowadays to have a properly prepared IT infrastructure and ensure business continuity for key systems used in business processes. Without cloud solutions, adequate scalability and security levels would be difficult or even impossible to achieve. Thanks to the cloud, even the most demanding projects can be effectively carried out in limited time and under difficult conditions, as the case study with UKRSIBBANK perfectly demonstrates.

New reality

The development of a backup IT environment in the Polcom cloud was part of an extensive process of adaptation to the new geopolitical situation. The decision to use Polcom’s services and implement a Disaster Recovery solution allowed the bank to flexibly manage its IT infrastructure under dynamically changing conditions. As a result, UKRSIBBANK is able to respond quickly to hard-to-predict events, minimizing the negative effects on its customers and employees that result from the unavailability of IT environments.

In the face of the challenges posed by the armed conflict across the eastern border, the implementation of a Disaster Recovery solution is proof that the flexibility and security of IT infrastructure play a key role in ensuring the stability and continuity of business operations. Striving to optimize business processes and implementing modern technological solutions are indispensable elements of adapting to a changing world. UKRSIBBANK, in cooperation with Polcom, has successfully met the challenges of the rigorous demands placed on financial institutions, laying a solid foundation for further development and serving its customers at the highest level.
