Abstract Legacy systems pose significant challenges for financial institutions, constraining scalability, compliance, and innovation. Traditional infrastructures struggle to meet real-time service expectations and regulatory demands. This paper makes the business and technical case for intelligent automation (IA) as a strategic imperative, combining robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cloud-native technologies.
We propose a structured seven-pillar strategic playbook for legacy modernization, covering system assessment, stakeholder alignment, automation architecture, governance, technology upgrades, workforce transformation, and performance measurement. Drawing on real-world case studies from JPMorgan Chase, Discover Financial Services, and Capital One, we validate the framework's practicality. A three-phase implementation roadmap Discovery, Pilot, and Scale guides institutions through de-risked, scalable automation adoption.
This paper offers a replicable model for financial institutions seeking operational agility, compliance robustness, and digital resilience, positioning IA as a foundation for future innovations such as AI Ops, hyperautomation, and ESG-aligned operations.
