Challenge	KeyBank, one of the nation's largest bank-based financial services companies, embarked on a national digital bank initiative following the acquisition of Laurel Road, a digital consumer lending business. The initiative aimed to build a digital bank focused on healthcare professionals looking to refinance student loans and buy homes. A significant challenge was reducing the time to market for new products by democratizing data and decoupling systems across the IT landscape. Like many large enterprises, KeyBank had a variety of vendor applications, custom applications, and other systems that were tightly coupled to one another. New projects often required developing specific point-to-point integrations for exchanging data, which did not address the needs of other downstream systems that could benefit from the same data.
