Major Swiss Bank

Refactored an entire codebase making the pipeline run time 7x faster, allowing quicker new feature development, and increasing data quality for analysis

Challenge

• Legacy Dashboard Environment with critical risk monitoring tools built over several years
• Technical Debt Accumulation resulting in an entangled, poorly-documented codebase
• Performance bottlenecks causing slow system response and analytics delays
• Innovation Paralysis where new feature requests face extended implementation timelines

Solution

• Analysed, simplified and refactored the entire codebase to better future-proof the project
• Solution leveraged was the Unified Foundry Ontology (UFO) that we had previously developed
• Pure foundry solution combined with Unit8’s programming expertise and best practices

Business Impact

• Increased code quality and resolved bugs that accounted for millions of CHF in exposure reporting deviations
• Reduction of pipeline execution time from 10h to 90 min, resulting in fresher data available for analysis
• Allowed smoother onboarding of 200+ users
• Established scrum and coding best practices
