Webinar details
In this session led by Mike Kohor (Sales Director) and Jose Alonso (CTO), Crossvale presents its NextGen Banking Platform — a flexible, scalable solution designed to help mid-size banks modernize rapidly, reduce operational costs, and deliver better customer experiences. Built on Red Hat OpenShift, the platform combines pre-built accelerators and open customization to support seamless core banking integration, automation, and agile deployment across digital and branch channels.
The webinar begins by outlining the common business and technology challenges financial institutions face — from increasing competition and disrupted customer expectations to fragmented legacy systems that hinder innovation. Crossvale responds with a solution centered on three foundational pillars: a secure, consistent platform (OpenShift), agile DevOps processes, and GitOps for managing deployments and infrastructure.
Jose Alonso emphasizes how the platform balances standardization and customization. Banks can take advantage of out-of-the-box connectors to systems like FIS or TCS, while also extending or building new services. A flexible engagement model allows clients to define their transformation roadmap — from short-term deliverables to five-year strategic goals — with Crossvale acting as both a provider and long-term partner.
The team also introduces their managed service layer, which includes 24/7 platform maintenance, performance tuning, and developer enablement to help institutions adopt containerization without needing deep internal expertise. Crossvale’s PodOps model is positioned as a cost-effective way to accelerate innovation, reduce vendor lock-in, and maintain compliance.
The session closes with real-world success stories highlighting substantial savings (e.g. 85% cost reduction over legacy systems), API-first transformations, and multi-bank consolidation efforts. Crossvale invites attendees to start with an assessment or workshop to tailor the solution to their institution’s unique needs.
