Head of Financial Services, Tietoevry, Finland
The challenge
Arek Oy wanted to control and cut their mainframe costs and increase elasticity and flexibility at the same time. Furthermore, the solution had to be compatible with Google Cloud services and meet the FIN-FSA Financial Supervisory Authority (Fiva) requirements related to compliance, continuity, performance and information security.
The solution
With Anthos, Arek Oy was able to introduce a hybrid cloud application platform with modern development tooling and automation. The platform provides the same developer experience as in public cloud, with on-premises data sovereignty and faster time-to-market.
About the customer
