The existence of technology in the Islamic banking sector is claimed to be a great opportunity to optimize services to be superior. In fact, as quoted by the National Sharia Economic and Finance Committee, players in this industry need to make the best use of technology to support their IT infrastructure so that they can remain competitive in market growth.
BJB Syariah, is one of the Islamic banks that has successfully adopted technological solutions to the fullest in digitizing its operations. Since its establishment in 2000, BJB Syariah now has eight branch offices and 55 sub-branch offices. Now, BJB Syariah is targeting 80% of customers from the nearly 50 million population in the provinces of West Java and Banten.
For more than 10 years, BJB Syariah has continuously strived to improve its customer experience. Increasingly, companies are experiencing various challenges to respond to changing market demands and regulations, as well as the increasing need to create applications and develop faster. As a result, they have difficulty meeting IT resources and managing infrastructure in parallel for production environments.
The Best Technology Solutions for Islamic Banks
BJB Syariah admitted that at that time they wanted to find a solution such as an ideal platform by offering fast performance to be able to help them adapt to market changes and implement an agile DevOps delivery mode for smooth application development.
“Our tier-3 infrastructure environment is complex, we don’t even have enough room to expand. The manual process also takes time. We want to develop software and deploy improvements for customers quickly, efficiently, and of course with the best quality,” said Head of IT Division of BJB Syariah, Dadang Rohandi.
What Does Nutanix Offer?
Rather than implementing on-premise software and equipment, BJB Syariah chose to adopt an on-premise platform. This private cloud-based move allows them to focus more on customer service and market strategy, while being supported by fast, scalable and flexible IT services. Finally, BJB Syariah collaborated with Nutanix. The technology solution presented is the Nutanix AHV Hypervisor for virtualization with built-in Kubernetes-based Nutanix Karbon.
“Our digitalization collaboration with Nutanix is an important aspect of our service. Nutanix played a vital role in helping us gain the most important position in the Islamic banking market and helping us improve our performance by up to 20%. The Nutanix solution is the platform we have always wanted to support our customer-centric initiatives, and we hope that this collaboration will continue with Nutanix innovations in the future,” said Dadang.
Dadang explained, Nutanix is the only Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) platform that integrates hardware and software in one bundle without the need for server, storage and network preparation separately for virtualization. This platform also comes with Nutanix Karbon which accelerates the development of BJB Syariah applications for the market.
“The Nutanix solution helps us speed up our business performance. We are also more focused on building customer experience and of course have the potential to gain market share in the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia,” he added.
