ABN AMRO Bank is one of the top leading banks in the Netherlands. It is the third largest bank in the Netherlands by revenue and number of mortgages held within the Netherlands, and has top management support of the objective to become a fully data-driven bank. ABN AMRO started its data journey almost seven years ago and has built a data platform off-premises with Hadoop technologies. This data platform has been used by more than 200 data providers, 150 data consumers, and more than 3000 datasets.
To become a fully digital bank and address the limitation of the on-premises platform requires a future-proof data platform DIAL (digital integration and access layer). ABN AMRO decided to build an Azure cloud-native data platform with the help of Microsoft and Databricks. Last year this cloud-native platform was ready for our data providers and data consumers. Six months ago we started the journey of migrating all the content from the on-premises data platform to the Azure data platform, this was a very large-scale migration and was achieved in six months.
In this session, we will focus on three things:
1. The migration strategy going from on-premises to a cloud-native platform
2. Which Databricks solutions were used in the data platform
3. How the Databricks team assisted in the overall migration
