To grow and serve its community as a truly local independent bank, the First National Bank of Long Island relies on extraordinary service, a customer-first approach, and modern digital systems. The bank is upgrading its IT infrastructure to support its goals of superior customer service and business expansion. In place of outdated and slow networks, the bank chose VMware SD-WAN as a managed service from VMware partner Windstream Enterprise. With strong bandwidth and centralized management in place, the First National Bank LI has the tools to accomplish its business and technical goals.
As the last remaining independent bank on Long Island and in the New York City metropolitan area, the First National Bank of Long Island sees technology as a competitive advantage. The bank’s recent digital initiatives include making customer transfers more flexible, designing an automated system to enable residential mortgage applications, and enhancing mobile banking. In addition to improving services at physical branches, a digital transformation will enable new business practices that will open the bank to new customers and new opportunities.
To accomplish this, the First National Bank LI has been upgrading and modernizing its technology on many fronts, including networking. Part of that transformation has been to implement VMware SD-WAN for faster connections.
