Latitude Financial Services transitioned its personal loan operations from a 20-year-old legacy mainframe to a modern Salesforce core platform utilizing Symphonics by Q2. The team orchestrated this initial 18-month migration across Australia and New Zealand. Using manual Salesforce change sets created significant operational friction. Deployments consumed weekends, lacked traceability, and resulted in success rates estimated at just 60 to 70%. Following the migration, Latitude realized that these manual processes weren鈥檛 sustainable for ongoing updates. If a deployment failed, the manual bottlenecks created immense stress for developers and, As Wilfred Chuei, Head of Technology Delivery stated, 鈥渋t can have an impact on customers in terms of their ability to access the system, i.e. make applications and log on to the system to check their accounts." And the manual bottlenecks created immense stress for developers.
" From a worker perspective, it definitely puts additional strain on them... mentally because of the concern or the stress that you have about the success of a particular release. "
