4 Qualifications: case in point Target-state blueprint EY assisted in the development and execution of a global bank s wealth management post-merger-integration business vision and strategy by delivering a scalable and flexible target-state architecture model anchored to key strategic priorities, financial objectives and value drivers. To support the emerging business landscape and sustain longerterm efficiency, we identified opportunities for improving the systems development life- cycle process and defined a target-state logical application and data architecture. We further designed data, investment and architecture governance models for prioritizing and aligning the technology portfolio with business objectives. We helped to lay the foundation for the client to achieve actionable outcomes in the short term and position itself for a successful multiyear transformation. Service delivery transformation EY managed one of the industry s largest service delivery transformation exercises undertaken by a major financial institution. We helped to define and implement a new operating model based on leading practice frameworks, which enabled the client to transition externally sourced services to internal capabilities. The client achieved major operational cost and risk reductions as a direct result of significant improvements in the efficiencies and effectiveness of services. At the conclusion of this project, we produced an enterprise IT end-state roadmap and helped to lay a firm foundation for continuous service improvements in solution engineering, operations and governance. Cost optimization EY managed the IT transformation initiative to reduce global technology operational costs at a leading international bank. Leveraging EY s extensive technology experience, capability and coverage, we established a Global Transformation Office to help rationalize the technology portfolio based on business value, technology dependencies and financial benefits. To that end, our prioritization framework enabled the client to identify, initialize and operate the portfolio to achieve cost optimization. Mobile technology banking assessment EY conducted the assessment of a consumer bank s mobile technologies to validate the alignment of work with its overall mobile program, to complete industry benchmarking and to deliver insight into leading practices across mobile banking channels. We provided points of view assessing the readiness for and impact of adopting HTML5, tablet relevance enablers and points of divergence from other mobile devices. Our reporting of the current-state analysis, industry insight and recommendations served as integral input into the bank s mobile channel business, technology strategy planning and portfolio execution. 4 Strategic Technology Advisory Services 5
