Flagstar Bank has consolidated its data center footprint down from six facilities to two in just 12 months.
Through a modernization and migration effort with Mphasis, the bank has significantly reduced its IT footprint across the US.
Mphasis assisted Flagstar with the establishment of a new data center location, cloud platform, and modernization of its critical technology infrastructure.
Mphasis describes itself as an AI-led platform-driven technology solutions provider.
According to the companies, the need to consolidate Flagstar’s data centers came after multiple acquisitions left it with a complex footprint.
The first phase of the project involved the end‑to‑end design, installation, configuration, and certification of two “next‑generation” data centers. Following this, Mphasis migrated hundreds of applications to the new platform with no downtime.
“Our collaboration with Flagstar Bank reflects a shared commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes through disciplined execution. Regional banks are modernizing technological environments that have evolved over many years while continuing to run mission‑critical operations without disruption,” said Rohit Jayachandran, head of banking & financial services, Mphasis.
“This transformation demonstrates what is possible when deep engineering expertise is combined with disciplined execution. We have modernized our critical infrastructure while ensuring uninterrupted banking operations so as not to affect our clients,” said Jason Pope, executive vice president and CTO at Flagstar Bank, N.A.
“The new platform significantly improves our disaster‑recovery capabilities, strengthens operational resilience, and enables our teams to respond to evolving customer needs and market opportunities. As a result, Flagstar strengthened its operational resilience and improved the agility of its technological environment. With a modern and stable infrastructure foundation in place, the Bank is better positioned to introduce new capabilities, respond to evolving customer expectations, and support future growth.”
Details about the new data centers, their location, or size/capacity, have not been shared. DCD has contacted Flagstar and Mphasis for more information.
Flagstar is headquartered in Hicksville, New York, and is a “regional bank,” operating in around 340 locations across 10 states, with strong footholds in the greater New York/New Jersey metropolitan region and in the upper Midwest, along with a significant presence in fast-growing markets in Florida and the West Coast.
