Commonwealth Bank Modernizes Core Unlocking Data

Commonwealth Bank completed its migration from an on-premises SAP R/3 mainframe to SAP S/4 on AWS in October last year, unlocking about 90% of its customer, account and transactional data. The move cut infrastructure costs by 30%, improved performance by 30% and enabled real-time eventing tested at about 5,000 transactions per second, feeding Amazon SageMaker and Bedrock to pursue deep personalisation and agentic AI.
Key Points
- 1Unlocked about 90% of customer, account and transactional data after SAP S/4 migration.
- 2Enabled real-time eventing at ~5,000 TPS, reducing data bottlenecks for AI and analytics.
- 3Allows data scientists and engineers to build agentic AI, hyper-personalised pricing and experiences.
Scoring Rationale
Official, measurable modernization with clear AI enablement benefits; limited novelty since similar cloud migrations are common across major banks.
