UniCredit is modernising its banking technology infrastructure across 13 European markets through a new partnership with Accenture and IBM.
The agreement includes Accenture acquiring IBM’s majority stake in the joint venture that currently manages a significant portion of UniCredit’s technology infrastructure.
The multi-year programme will establish a new technology operating model for UniCredit, combining the resilience of mission-critical systems with the flexibility needed to accelerate innovation and scale AI capabilities.
As part of the collaboration, IBM will provide modernised technology platforms, including IBM Z, software and consulting services.
“Technology is a strategic enabler of UniCredit’s growth and transformation,”
said Ali Khan, Group Digital & Information Officer at UniCredit.
“By bringing together a pan-European footprint, strong execution capabilities and mission-critical technology, we are creating a reinvention model built to scale across markets,”
said Mauro Macchi, Chief Executive Officer of Accenture EMEA.
