Our Work

Standard Bank: A decade of managing and maintaining enterprise risk management 

Standard Bank's critical enterprise risk management platform is used across the bank,  from securing physical assets to managing financial and non-financial risk. It enables the bank to schedule, track, and attest to compliance controls. Entelect built the solution, and has been maintaining it for 10 years. 

The platform went live in 2016 and has been supported by Entelect as a managed service since then. The engagement is built around two complementary workstreams that run in parallel: a structured SLA covering ongoing support and maintenance, and a continuous pipeline of feature development work orders delivered by the same team.


This dual-track model means Entelect is never just keeping the lights on, and never just building new things. The team holds both responsibilities simultaneously, planning meticulously with the client to make sure the right work gets the right attention at the right time.

The Entelect team works closely and collaboratively with the client to plan every sprint, optimising how those hours are used and committing to clear deliverables in each cycle. Every sixth sprint is a dedicated maintenance sprint, focused solely on upgrades, platform health, and ensuring the application remains secure and compliant. Over the course of this partnership, Entelect has delivered significant technical and functional improvements to the platform:


Front-End Modernisation: In 2022, Entelect modernised front-end, resolving a critical bank-wide security and compliance risk.


SAP Hierarchy Integration: Entelect led a major integration initiative to align the platform's version of the bank’s organisation hierarchy to SAP, enabling the platform to automatically reflect the bank's live structure.

 

Checklist Template Workflow: Rather than simply rebuilding a broken Excel-import process, the team replaced it with a purpose-built in-system workflow that eliminated manual spreadsheet handling and significantly improved process control and data quality.

Zero P1 incidents in 4+ years: Since Entelect took over the managed service in 2021, Control First has not experienced a single Priority 1 outage. 


A long-term, trusted partnership: The Control First engagement is among Entelect's most enduring client relationships. The team's depth of platform knowledge, built over years of close collaboration, means Entelect can challenge briefs, identify better solutions, and consistently deliver outcomes that exceed the original ask.

How We've Delivered

A Standard Bank building

Context

Standard Bank’s Transaction Banking division supports a growing portfolio of payment solutions, including real-time payments, cross-border remittances, Banking-as-a-Service and client onboarding platforms. As the ecosystem expanded, the bank needed a scalable support model that could maintain service excellence while enabling engineering teams to focus on innovation.

Approach

Entelect established a centralised support capability spanning multiple solutions, acting as the single point of accountability for governance and service outcomes. Dedicated teams provide 24/7 monitoring and support, supported by structured training, operational playbooks and alerting frameworks. Entelect’s engineers retain technical ownership of L3 support, root-cause analysis, platform optimisation and ongoing development.

Outcome

The model has improved operational efficiency and resilience through continuous monitoring, clear escalation paths and consistent support processes. As more incidents are resolved without L3 escalation, engineering capacity is freed for strategic enhancements and innovation.
