SKG's from legacy banking to the cloud

A banking system running on outdated architecture leaves no room for modern customer expectations or innovative features. Stichting Kerkelijk Geldbeheer (SKG) decided to break new ground. Together with Beyonder, SKG replaced its traditional legacy system with a state-of-the-art cloud platform powered by OutSystems low-code. The result? A future-proof, intuitive, and cost-effective banking environment, achieved with zero disruption to daily financial operations.

As a specialized financial service provider for churches and related institutions, SKG delivers highly unique tailored products, like restoration financing and the digital SKG Collect. However, their core banking infrastructure - while stable for years - was trapped on an obsolete POWER7 platform. It was rigid, complex, and incapable of adapting to the speed of modern technology or the seamless online experience users expect today. The core challenge was to fully migrate this deeply integrated legacy footprint to an agile cloud environment while tightly controlling costs, timelines, and operational risks.

"This project is a success if we can look back and say we realized our vision within a reasonable timeframe and budget."

As a strategic technology partner specializing in complex legacy migrations, Beyonder designed and deployed a modern cloud platform. Utilizing an OutSystems low-code architecture, we completely overhauled both the front-office and back-office environments, introducing seamless integration points with external applications and core workflows.

By adopting a pragmatic, iterative development approach, the legacy system remains fully operational until the final phase of the transition. This agile framework significantly accelerates development speeds, lowers migration costs, and ensures complete business continuity. Both internal staff and church clients now benefit from highly intuitive, user-centric interfaces. Thanks to the power of low-code, SKG has secured a scalable, future-proof foundation that drives cost savings and cements its unique value proposition over traditional banks.
