Empowering Nordic Banking Platform with Tailored Banking Solutions: NBS's Data Migration Journey and Success with Hopp

Challenge

Over the last 15 years and 80+ migrations, NBS has diligently refined its data migration capabilities. They’ve gone from using conventional manual coding and ad hoc methods to a progressively sophisticated and industrialized approach. This has significantly improved NBS's banking platform’s ability to deliver reliable data migration services, which is vital for seamless integration of new customers.
