ATB Financial’s leadership team had a big question: “How can we transform banking if we don’t transform the way we work?” The Edmonton, Alberta-based bank knew it was time for a change.

ATB wanted to harness the collective power of its entire workforce, no matter where they were in the province, to foster a strong hive mindset through collaboration. A locked-down, inflexible digital work environment wasn't the right path for this journey. Changing direction meant replacing on-premise legacy software and eliminating both poor connectivity and communication across the workforce. In doing so, ATB recently became the first bank to “Go Google” globally in an effort to work smarter, better and more customer-centric.
