Sparking a Culture of Progress

Customers Bank had optimized its Salesforce foundation and the wheels were turning. Those closest to the work knew the progress was meaningful—but legacy habits ran deep. The question became: do we keep the momentum contained, or use it to lead a broader shift and bring the rest of the organization with us?

Problem

Customers Bank now needed to modernize and standardize its delivery processes, but deeply rooted legacy behaviors and inconsistent adoption across teams made transformation difficult. Without a unified framework or agile mindset, each project felt like a one-off effort—slowing down progress, increasing risk, and limiting the impact of their Salesforce investment.

Process

Fortimize partnered with their internal Salesforce team to redesign delivery from the ground up. By adopting agile delivery and working in sprints, the team learned to test quickly, iterate often, and build confidence across stakeholders. This reset the tone of digital transformation from overwhelming to manageable—empowering staff at all levels.

Results

Today, Customers Bank drives continuous improvement using that same framework, reducing risk and increasing value with every release.
