BankIslami has entered a strategic collaboration with DAZTeach, an Oracle partner, to deploy Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer (ExaCC), marking an important step in strengthening the bank’s technology infrastructure to support its growing portfolio of Islamic financial services. The signing ceremony, attended by senior executives from BankIslami, DAZTeach, and Oracle, highlighted the shared vision of leveraging advanced cloud-enabled solutions to deliver secure and efficient banking experiences to customers across Pakistan.
Under this agreement, BankIslami will migrate and consolidate its existing and upcoming Oracle Databases workloads onto ExaCC. This deployment is designed to deliver enterprise-grade security aligned with Islamic banking principles, ensuring data sovereignty by keeping customer information within the bank’s premises while benefiting from cloud economics and operational efficiency. ExaCC’s architecture offers high performance with low latency, enabling the bank to handle mission-critical workloads more effectively, achieve greater scalability, and provide real-time insights that support informed decision-making at every level of the organization.
The adoption of ExaCC reflects BankIslami’s ongoing efforts to modernize its core systems and build a resilient foundation for future growth. By integrating advanced analytics and real-time processing capabilities, the bank can respond more swiftly to changing customer demands and market dynamics. This investment also underscores its commitment to providing innovative, secure, and Shariah-compliant financial services. For DAZTeach and Oracle, the project demonstrates their collaborative approach to equipping financial institutions with technologies that balance performance, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.
Participants at the signing ceremony, including Ashfaque Ahmed, Muhammad Amin, Syed Shariq Kalam, Shahan Khan, and Syed Adil from BankIslami, DAZTeach, and Oracle, reiterated the importance of aligning technology investments with customer needs. By embracing ExaCC, BankIslami positions itself to meet rising transaction volumes, streamline operations, and deliver seamless digital experiences. The initiative also reflects a broader shift within Pakistan’s banking sector toward secure cloud-based infrastructure, setting an example of how public and private sector stakeholders can work together to advance digital transformation across the financial services landscape.
