How Procom met banking’s urgent tech needs

A leading North American financial institution, operating across 180 countries, required app issue resolutions and enterprise-level incident handling. They also sought to reduce manual processes and strengthen communication between regions, all while maintaining strict security standards. The client needed proficient developers with expertise in advanced tech stacks and specialists who could streamline deployment workflows and enhance overall system reliability. With fierce competition for top talent and highly skilled IT professionals in short supply, Procom needed to bridge the talent gap. The client faced complex technical challenges across infrastructure, trading systems, deployment, and support. Each function demanded niche expertise, immediate impact, and zero room for error.

Procom sourced IT specialists within unique domains across multiple areas:

1. Cybersecurity: Procom placed a Senior Network Security Analyst with expertise in configuring Palo Alto and Checkpoint firewalls, managing Cisco access controls, and executing network segmentation strategies. The candidate met all compliance standards and required no ramp-up time.

2. Application support – Financial and Trading Systems: Procom placed two experienced Application Support Specialists with expertise in UNIX, Oracle, and equities middle-office systems. One focused on enterprise-scale financial application support, while the other managed Level 2 support for trading platforms.

3. DevOps: Procom placed a DevOps Engineer with deep experience in automation, orchestration, and system monitoring. The engineer implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, set up Grafana and Prometheus for real-time monitoring, and used Kubernetes to streamline environment management.

4. Enterprise App Delivery: Procom placed two Full Stack Developers with deep expertise in Java/J2EE, Spring Boot, MongoDB, GIT, OpenShift, and Docker. Both had direct experience working in banking environments and were able to integrate seamlessly with the project team.

The placement strengthened the client's security posture, improved compliance, reduced infrastructure downtime, and accelerated the rollout of security protocols. Manual workload dropped by 30%, trading app downtime fell by 25%, and incident response times improved. The result was greater system stability, better team coordination, and increased operational confidence across critical applications. Deployment cycles became faster, system downtime dropped, and testing efficiency improved. Teams gained better visibility, stronger collaboration, and delivered more stable releases across multiple projects. The developers began delivering high-quality, scalable code from day one. Their domain knowledge reduced onboarding time, increased development speed, and kept the project on track with business goals.
