Commonwealth Bank has stood up three ‘execution factories’ to help speed up its cloud migration program.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has set its sight towards having two-thirds of its workloads in the public cloud by the end of the 2022 financial year. At the end last financial year, CBA hit the 44% mark, according to Tara Le Friedman, CBA strategy performance and transformation general manager. Speaking during VMware’s virtual 2021 VMworld conference, Le Friedman detailed that the bank’s decision to stand up three « execution factories » has been the driving force behind the pace for the bank’s migration of its workload to the cloud, a project that only kicked off a year ago. As Le Friedman puts it, the execution factories are « constructs that allows us to apply repeatable patterns and activities to allow us to be able to do it a lot more faster, more efficiently ».
