“At AIB our aim is to empower our people so they can work from home and support our customers as seamlessly as possible. 8,000 of our people now have remote access, with state of the art technology allowing us to develop our ways of working and digitalisation strategies”
Geraldine Casey, Chief People Officer, AIB
AIB is a financial services group operating predominantly in Ireland and the United Kingdom, providing a range of services to retail, business and corporate customers, with market-leading positions in key segments. The bank has over 2.8 million customers.
Given the importance of the initiative to AIB, which is adopting a new operating model to increase the flexibility of its workforce to work from anywhere, it was essential for the bank to engage with a partner of proven capability, international reach and who could move at pace.
According to Graham Fagan, Group Director of Technology & Operations at AIB, “the combination of Presidio's long-standing logistical and procurement capabilities along with their experience and track record of service delivery for projects of this scale, both domestically and internationally, were decisive factors in selecting Presidio.”
Bríd Graham, Managing Director of Presidio’s IT Procurement Services business, said, “We are delighted to be selected as the IT partner for AIB on such a transformational project. The pandemic forced us all to act quickly in unforeseen circumstances. AIB was determined to ensure it could provide an effective solution to help their employees transition to the new normal of working from home while continuing to provide uninterrupted support for their customers. We are very proud to partner with such a strong Irish heritage brand.”
The Results
Presidio was able to build on its relationship with AIB to demonstrate its full range of technical, logistics and support capabilities and its ability to deliver these at a national and international level, as it has already done for other multinational companies.
The ambitious employee mobilisation programme, which gained urgency due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has enabled AIB to continue to provide an uninterrupted service to its customers, while also empowering its workforce to communicate and collaborate innovatively across the entire enterprise from their home workspaces.
In overall terms, Presidio has very quickly earned our trust through a rapidly accelerated programme, where the Presidio team has demonstrated real professionalism and a ‘can do’ attitude that we really value. On a project of this scale, there are always challenges, but where any difficulties arose, Presidio stepped up to the mark, bringing things back on track and always delivered. I greatly appreciate their support as a true IT partner."Graham Fagan, Group Director of Technology & Operations at AIB Group
