 Battle-tested at enterprise scale 

 You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget. 

 Six ways we help financial services organizations build stronger foundations

Each is a challenge you can get out in front of.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity

Protect your systems and data in the AI era.


We secure the full environment, offering everything from strategy and regulatory-aligned governance to 24x7 detection and response. We also restore operations quickly, bringing security and disaster recovery together as one team.

AI & data

AI & data

Address compliance while achieving AI ambitions.


Most institutions have pilots; few have a repeatable, auditable path to production. We prioritize high-value use cases and build the operating model and governance regulated environments require. Ultimately, we help your AI initiatives reach go live without adding compliance exposure.

Cloud

Cloud

Finetune your cloud strategy and cloud spend.


Dependence on a single hyperscaler is exactly the third-party and operational risk regulators now scrutinize. Vendor-agnostic by design, we weigh public cloud, private cloud, and colocation to reduce dependency and build resilience.

Application

Application

Preserve what works. Modernize what doesn’t.


With years of business logic inside lending, payments, and claims platforms, every release feels risky and slow. We modernize, replatform, or extend them with GenAI, so the applications your customers depend on keep evolving without disrupting daily operations.

Network & Infrastructure

Network & Infrastructure

Tailor an AI factory for your institution.


Becoming AI ready requires the right combination of compute, storage, and network resources. In financial services, the network and infrastructure must also meet strict resiliency and redundancy requirements. We assess, design, and implement it around where you are and what comes next.

Where they started: A regional credit union needed a single, end-to-end IT partner to implement, manage, and monitor its systems, and to meet rising regulatory and data-protection requirements without expanding its own team.

The foundation we built together: CBTS migrated IT operations to a secure CBTS cloud environment, including the core processing application running on IBM Power Systems. We added offsite backup to a secondary location for compliance, implemented Active Directory to strengthen security and data protection, and managed enterprise backups, antivirus, network, and firewalls across the data center and branches.

What they're building now: The IT team no longer spends its time patching software and managing hardware. Built-in security and compliance address regulatory requirements, and shifting from CapEx to OpEx gives the credit union a predictable monthly cost, so it can expand into new markets and enroll new members more easily.

Frequently asked questions

How does CBTS help financial institutions adopt AI safely?

CBTS scores AI use cases against business value, data readiness, and regulatory risk, then builds the operating model and governance controls that let you scale responsibly. The result is a clear route from first workshop to go-live across fraud detection, customer service, and risk reporting, without new audit exposure.  

How does CBTS support financial services compliance and operational resilience?

Compliance and resilience shape every decision from day one. CBTS builds third-party risk, operational resilience, data residency, and recovery requirements into the design rather than retrofitting. We help institutions align with FFIEC guidance in the U.S. and DORA for firms with EU operations, and prove recovery through tested backup and disaster recovery.  

Can CBTS reduce cloud concentration risk without replacing our environment?

Yes. Wholesale replacement rarely makes sense. CBTS maps your environment, identifies workloads to diversify, and models scenarios across public cloud, private cloud, and colocation. As a vendor-agnostic partner, we design a multi-cloud architecture that cuts single-provider dependency and the third-party risk auditors examine, phased rather than disruptive.

How is CBTS different from going directly to a hyperscaler?

Working directly with a hyperscaler gives deep expertise in one platform and limited accountability for everything around it. CBTS works across a vendor-agnostic partner ecosystem, so recommendations start with what’s right for your environment, not what one provider sells, and we can weigh whether a different mix better fits your risk.

What IT services does CBTS provide to banks, insurers, and credit unions?

CBTS provides consulting, managed services, and technology procurement across six areas: AI & Data, Applications, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Digital Workplace, and Network & Infrastructure. Common work includes AI readiness and governance, managed detection and response, hybrid and multi-cloud resilience, core application modernization, secure cloud hosting with backup and disaster recovery, and Teams and contact center for distributed teams.
