Q2 Software Adds Near-Real-Time Alerting to Its Digital Banking Platform Using Confluent Platform

One out of 10 digital banking customers in the U.S. uses Q2’s secure, data-driven digital banking platform to meet their digital banking needs. In fact, a third of the top domestic banks rely on the power, flexibility, and performance of Q2’s platform as central to their digital strategy. For financial institutions (FIs), including many Q2 customers, ensuring a strong digital strategy is in place is more important than ever, especially as more retail and commercial customers complete transactions online rather than in person.

Q2 is in the midst of its own digital transformation, spurred in part by increased adoption of its banking platform. To keep pace with the business’s growth and the real-time needs of the FIs it serves, Q2 recognized a need to upgrade its IT architecture, which relied on monolithic systems and processes that could not easily scale to meet surging demand. Working with Confluent, Q2 adopted a new event-driven architecture underpinned by Confluent Platform and Apache Kafka®.
