1. Why is IT architecture the foundation of trust in the banking sector?

In banking, data is the most precious asset. IT architecture guarantees not only the integrity of this data but also its immediate availability across all channels (branch, web, mobile). A unified architecture reconciles banking security requirements with seamless customer journeys, transforming the IT system from a cost center into a strategic differentiator.

2. How does Numendo facilitate the integration of modern SaaS solutions within a Core Banking System (CBS)?

Legacy CBS are robust but lack agility for new services (mobile payments, account aggregation, AI). Our expertise lies in building solution hubs via secure APIs and high-performance middleware. This “Best-of-Breed” approach allows for the adoption of the market’s best technological innovations without destabilizing the bank’s transactional core.

3. How can a seamless omnichannel customer experience be guaranteed in a complex subscription journey?

Banking subscriptions (loans, account openings) often require multiple steps and documents. Omnichannel capabilities allow a file to be started on mobile, completed at home, and finalized in-branch with an advisor without ever re-entering information. By orchestrating data flows in real-time, we ensure that every interaction is recorded and leveraged.

4. What is the role of product data (PIM/DAM) for financial institutions?

Even though they are intangible, financial products (loans, insurance, investments) are complex and subject to strict regulations. The PIM (Product Information Management) becomes the single source of truth for pricing conditions, legal notices, and technical specifications. This ensures perfect consistency of the commercial offer across all sales media, from web simulators to in-branch brochures.

5. How does the I.R.O. method adapt to regulatory constraints (GDPR, PSD2)?

Security and compliance are not options but foundations integrated from the Imagine phase through IT audits and scoping. In the Realize phase, we apply Privacy by Design and cybersecurity principles. Finally, the Optimize phase ensures evolutionary maintenance to continuously adapt systems to new legal requirements and security patches.

6. How does Numendo help reduce the "Time-to-Market" for new financial products?

By simplifying IT architecture and automating testing (software quality), we reduce development cycles. Adopting an agile approach and methods like Design Thinking allows for the rapid validation of concepts (MVP) before large-scale deployment, ensuring a swift response to competitive moves.

7. How can banking data flows be secured during a migration to the Cloud?

Cloud migration in banking requires a rigorous segmentation strategy. We design secure hybrid architectures where sensitive data remains protected while front-end services benefit from the scalability of the Cloud. Continuous DevOps monitoring guarantees the integrity and performance of these flows every second.

8. What is the role of AI and Data Analysis in optimizing banking services?

Under our Optimize pillar, we use Data Analysis to identify friction in customer journeys and anticipate needs. Integrating AI allows for personalized recommendations and the automation of low-value-added processes, freeing up time for human expertise in branches.

9. How do you manage interoperability between the different entities of a large financial group?

Our role as architects is to build digital bridges between organizational silos. By standardizing flow exchanges (ETL/ESB), we enable a 360° view of the customer, even if their products are spread across retail banking, insurance, and wealth management.

10. What are the success KPIs for a banking digital transformation?

Beyond financial ROI, we monitor: Customer autonomy rate: the share of operations completed without assistance. IT performance: response times and availability of service APIs. Omnichannel conversion: the fluidity of files initiated online and finalized offline. Advisor satisfaction: the effectiveness of in-branch sales tools.

Banking & Finance Digital Transformation

Working on a financial rating platform was an exciting challenge due to the complexity of insurance business rules and high software reliability requirements. Our role was to provide an objective, external perspective on the codebase, co-create an improvement roadmap with the existing team, and develop key B2B integration features such as SSO and two-factor authentication.

More than a vendor, Numendo is a true partner. Their consultants combine technical excellence with soft skills, along with a rare ability to authentically challenge us to reach higher. A long-standing relationship of trust whose high standards perfectly reflect those of our luxury House.

Numendo’s involvement was key to launching our PLM project on the right foot. Their teams successfully adapted to our organizational constraints and found the right positioning with our business units, rapidly building a climate of trust. Thanks to their market expertise and high-quality workshop facilitation, we now have a precise functional scope and a flawlessly executed RFP. It is a very smooth and transparent collaboration that equips us with everything we need to approach the next phase of the project with complete confidence.

For a project so crucial to the European future of our group, I wasn’t looking for a vendor, but a partner. That is exactly what I found with Numendo right from the bidding phase. The teams showed great responsiveness and were able to listen to our constraints while daring to challenge us on the data model. Thanks to Nicolas’s technical expertise and senior posture, we met all our schedule commitments, with the necessary overlap to secure our e-commerce. It is a fluid, efficient collaboration, and an excellent first step before deploying our repository across the rest of the group.

“Numendo is a highly professional team that implemented Zendesk for us. We received training that was recorded for on-demand viewing, and we truly appreciated their fast, efficient support. We highly recommend Numendo, a team with deep expertise in Zendesk.

The implementation of our new e-commerce site was an iterative and complex project. Lisa’s arrival through Numendo was a true operational relief for my teams. Beyond her obvious skills on our tools, it was above all her experience and professional posture that made the difference. In the luxury industry, our internal teams are extremely demanding; a senior and autonomous profile like hers immediately gains legitimacy, provides reassurance, and allows us to move forward without having to manage the hidden costs or guesswork of a more junior profile. The recruitment process with Numendo was highly responsive, very smooth administratively, and the human as well as technical matching proved to be perfect. It is without hesitation the collaboration that went best in recent years, and the organization I reach out to first for our expert needs.

If anyone is hesitating to start a PIM project, don’t hesitate! It’s not always easy, but it’s a rewarding experience. I really enjoyed leading it and was well supported by Numendo throughout the implementation. Today, the autonomy it provides is a real asset.

Over the course of 14 months, Numendo delivered a state-of-the-art technological solution, providing technical recommendations that anticipated the future evolution of the platform.

Numendo has been supporting us since 2023, driving several major projects together: migrating our e-commerce platform, integrating a PIM, and developing custom applications… We also manage our application and environment maintenance with their teams. Beyond the projects, what truly stands out is the quality of their support, their availability, and their professionalism, rooted in a genuine relationship of trust and strong technical expertise.

This Shopify Plus migration project was a real success, both in terms of the quality of collaboration with Numendo and the results achieved. Today, our e-commerce platform is fully aligned with our brand identity and provides us with great autonomy to continue our growth.

Thank you, Numendo, and thank you, Fabrice Pierre. Really proud of what we accomplished at Volcom and Liberated Brands! With Alexandre Pouey and the arrival of Corentin Casset, and with Make and the support of the Numendo teams, we automated tasks such as data extraction, Shopify updates, and many more—the list goes on, even beyond Digital & E-commerce. The result: more time to focus on what really matters.

Working with Numendo allowed us to centralize and harmonize our product data with Quable across different departments, while ensuring seamless integration with Ibexa. Their expertise and commitment were key to the success of this project.

The implementation of Quable PIM & DAM with Numendo now allows us to manage our product data and media in a centralized, reliable, and scalable manner. This project is a key milestone in supporting our international development and the digitalization of our customer journey.

The Numendo teams are outstanding. Nicolas has an excellent mastery of the tool and provides very valuable technical advice. Fabrice, on his side, ensures excellent project management. They were able to adapt to our internal constraints and our limited availability, allowing us to deliver the project within the deadlines we had set. Their support has been invaluable.

Before diving into PIM implementation, the audit conducted by Numendo was a key milestone. Their expertise allowed us to streamline our master data challenges and define a coherent, scalable IT architecture. It is reassuring to be supported by a partner who understands both our logistical constraints and our business ambitions.

With Numendo, we found a partnership that checks every box: a genuine ability to understand our business challenges, attentive listening, and advice that is accessible to both our communication teams and our IT department. A true success, with the added satisfaction of relying on a French company that is close to its clients and success-oriented.

The audit conducted by Numendo was a pivotal moment for our digital transformation. Fabrice combined sharp technical expertise with great emotional intelligence, allowing us to turn a technical assessment into a genuine strategic discussion within the executive committee. Thanks to this pragmatic support, we now have a clear vision of our target architecture and the key steps to structure our product data at a group-wide level.
