With the decommissioning of the mainframe, Cassa Centrale Banca and Allitude mark a key milestone in their technological modernisation journey

Completion of the re-hosting project, led by Allitude: enhanced technological flexibility and innovation capacity, with no operational impact for the Banks.

Trento, 19.02.2026Allitude, the ICT and back-office services company of the Cassa Centrale Group, announces the completion of the decommissioning of its mainframe system.

This represents a fundamental step in the technological modernisation programme set out in the 2025–2027 Strategic Plan and a significant achievement for the Italian banking sector.

The Group has completed a significant technological transformation project through the Re-Hosting initiative, which led to the migration of over 120 applications, 13,000 programmes and around 900 archives. The initiative involved core components, supporting the evolution of the technological platform through a consistent commitment to quality and governance.

The project covered several critical areas of banking operations – including cards, POS, ATMs and digital services – ensuring continuity, stability and security at every stage. The migration was carried out gradually, with extensive testing and continuous monitoring, guaranteeing full oversight of the day-to-day operations of the customer Banks.

The final shutdown of the mainframe, which took place at the end of December 2025, concludes a multi-year programme aimed at transitioning the infrastructure to a flexible, scalable and innovation-driven platform.

The initiative is part of the broader transformation programme set out in the Group’s Strategic Plan, which recognises technology as a key enabler for modernising the operating model and strengthening innovation capability, with over €200 million invested in recent years and further investment planned for the 2025–2027 three-year period.

“The decommissioning of the mainframe was not merely a technical exercise, but the result of a clear and courageous decision pursued with determination. It is a historic milestone for our Group, demonstrating our ability to manage a highly complex transformation thanks to the commitment and professionalism of the people at Allitude and across all the structures involved.

The completion of this journey shows how, through long-term vision, responsibility and collaboration, it is possible to build the future on new technological architectures, while ensuring continuity, security and quality of service for the Banks we serve,” said Manuele Margini, CIO of Cassa Centrale Banca and Chief Executive Officer of Allitude.
