Zand — the UAE's first fully independent digital bank, with a full banking license and both retail and corporate services — needed to grow its IT team with developers who already knew banking, communicated fluently in English and integrated fast. NDS extended the team with back-end, mobile and QA automation engineers, scaled up and down with the project.
Client reference: Vinatha Bunda, Head of Channels Delivery, Zand, Dubai.
Zand decided to expand its IT department and ran into four problems:
Developers with banking backgrounds were scarce.
Recruiting each new team member was slow and expensive.
Slower hiring meant a slower product.
The team had to grow and shrink with the project, not stay fixed.
back-end, mobile and QA automation, fluent in English and ready to join an existing team
working as part of Zand's core team on its backlog
the backlog accelerated, time-to-market shortened, the budget down 25%
team size raised and lowered with the project stage — flexibility and better budget control
"We were looking for a long-term IT partner that can extend the core team of our new digital bank. Our decision factors were: quick delivery time, experience, flexibility, and communication skills. We see a real value from our cooperation."
— Vinatha Bunda, Head of Channels Delivery, Zand, Dubai
