Challenge 

A leading Canadian bank, one of the "Big Five," had been outsourcing its mainframe operations for over 20 years.​​

Costs continued to escalate, creating a significant financial burden.​

The bank needed to reduce these costs without disrupting critical operations or requiring major application changes.​ 

CPT Global’s Actions 

CPT Global was tasked with reviewing the bank's CPU usage and recommending changes to reduce costs.​​

CPT worked closely with the client to identify untapped savings and resolve a system issue that prevented the bank from leveraging over 90% of its mainframe capacity—all without requiring any application changes.​​

CPT also provided guidance on improving mainframe performance, security, and resilience.​ 

Results 

  • 18% cost reduction ($Millions saved in hardware upgrades)​
  • 8% CPU savings through verification and implementation.​
  • 10% CPU capacity increase at no additional cost.​
  • $6.8M saved over 2 years by avoiding hardware upgrades.​

CPT Global’s strategic approach allowed the bank to cut costs significantly while improving mainframe capability and performance.
