As a key enabler of the Australian economy, BPAY Group processes over $400 billion in online payments each year and constantly invests in its platforms to deliver trusted and innovative services. As their internal data centres were approaching the end of usability, taking the leap into the cloud was the obvious step, and there were three primary concerns.
Capacity.
Launching the new service Osko –a peer-to-peer payment product that allows anyone to instantly and securely move funds between banks – was planned to more than double BPAY Group’s transaction load.
Sustainability.
The potential to reduce inefficiencies, use of ageing data centres and BPAY Group’s overall energy consumption.
As a brand, BPAY has 98% name recognition and strong consumer trust, so data integrity and security were not optional for BPAY Payments.
