Payments Platform Transformation

Sliding Line

  • The platform, hosted in a legacy data centre, required modernisation to address security vulnerabilities, improve resilience, and meet compliance requirements. Additionally, the client needed to enhance its delivery capacity and ensure alignment with business objectives. With tight deadlines ahead of the IPO, Exevion Digital was tasked with transforming the platform and team operations to deliver the necessary improvements efficiently and effectively. 

  • Exevion Digital implemented a structured and scalable approach, focusing on: 

    • Team and Capability Enhancement: Assessed the existing team’s skills and restructured the delivery function, recruiting key roles and onboarding an external partner to increase capacity and expertise

    • Backlog Prioritisation: Conducted a thorough review of the existing backlog, aligning priorities with business goals and ensuring a focused delivery approach

    • Platform Remediation and Migration: Implemented a remediation programme to address security and compliance issues, while migrating the platform to the client’s data centres to enhance resilience 

    • Agile Transformation: Introduced Agile and Scrum methodologies, establishing new ways of working, and implemented a test automation framework to optimise the release process

    • Stakeholder Communication: Supported the business by presenting progress and results to key customers, ensuring transparency and reinforcing trust during the transformation

  • Within 12 months, the platform and delivery capabilities were successfully transformed, resulting in: 

    • Migration of the platform to the client’s data centres, enabling the closure of 4 legacy data centres

    • Full compliance with security and regulatory standards, eliminating previous vulnerabilities

    • Increased delivery capacity and improved project management, reducing risks and improving efficiency

    • Enhanced business perception of the technology department, leading to greater confidence in future delivery timelines

    • Retention of all customers and double-digit growth in the eCommerce business

  • Exevion Digital’s structured and focused approach enabled the client to transform their payments platform and team, positioning them for success ahead of the IPO. By delivering on key priorities, we helped restore confidence in the platform’s future capabilities, ensuring compliance, resilience, and growth.
