Bendigo Bank Bolsters Growth Strategy With IBM Global Financing

Overview With 25-30 new branches opening each year, Bendigo Bank views IT infrastructure as critical to supporting the bank in its efficient delivery of banking and wealth management services to customers nationally. With its business growing by over 20 per cent per annum, Bendigo Bank began to face the challenges imposed by ageing IT equipment supplied through leases from various suppliers. After a comprehensive review, Bendigo Bank decided to consolidate its IT asset leasing into a partnership with IBM Global Financing. The bank's IT infrastructure comprises about 3000 desktop and notebook computers, more than 400 small servers and an IBM Servers mainframe server, with associated storage and tape library.
