In 2014, BBVA’s transaction data was scattered across multiple systems, limiting customers’ access to real-time banking services. The bank needed a way to unify data, improve search performance, and enhance customer experiences. In this session, David Jiménez Ausin, Strategy Senior Manager of NoSQL & SQL Operational Databases at BBVA, shares how Elastic helped BBVA turn a simple search engine into a functional banking platform.

Highlights

• From fragmented to unified data: BBVA expanded from 9 to over 50 integrated services, giving customers access to 20 years of transaction history instead of just one.
• Lightning-fast search: Queries that once took over 3 seconds now run in milliseconds, even for complex calculations.
• Reducing technical debt: Consolidate legacy systems and tools to lower costs and improve compliance.
• Scalability at enterprise level: The system manages 45 billion data points across 120 TB, handling records with over 400 fields of information.
