Migrating a Critical Sanctions Screening Platform with Zero Service Disruption

CodeLink executed an end-to-end migration of a major banking client’s platform for the debarment and suspension register from a retiring collaborative software platform. The on-time delivery eliminates the risk of service disruption for this critical compliance tool. We took this as an opportunity to also greatly enhance user experience, modernizing both the UX & UI.

About the client

A multilateral development institution supporting inclusive, resilient, and sustainable growth across Asia and the Pacific. It works with member countries and partners to address complex development challenges, using innovative financial instruments and strategic partnerships to improve lives, build quality infrastructure, and protect the environment.

The challenge

This prominent development bank’s critical sanctions screening platform was dependent on a technology scheduled for retirement. The situation presented an immediate need for change, with the additional business request to improve the outdated user flows, which hindered the user experience and required many manual processes, which slowed down essential registration and review functions.

Migrating from an Obsolete Technology
This platform was built on an aging technology scheduled to be phased out before EOY 2026. This required a mandatory migration to a modern, sustainable platform to avoid disruption of a critical compliance function.
Lack of Automated Processes
The platform's user flows and interactions failed to meet modern usability standards. A complete revamp was necessary to improve user satisfaction and productivity, ensuring that all users could easily access and manage crucial sanction data.
Outdated and Unintuitive UX & UI
The platform's user flows and interactions failed to meet modern usability standards. A complete revamp was necessary to improve user satisfaction and productivity, ensuring that all users could easily access and manage crucial sanction data.

Why CodeLink?

CodeLink was chosen for our ability to lead product strategy, deliver strong design, and work autonomously across the entire software delivery life cycle. Our proven track record in agile project management fostered close collaboration with stakeholders, ensuring their deep product knowledge remained central to the platform’s success.

The result

CodeLink successfully migrated the sanctions screening platform from a retiring system to a modern, future-proofed tech stack. The new solution features distinct user and admin portals, secure authentication for all users, and a streamlined interface, completely modernizing this critical compliance tool for the client.

Successful Migration to a Modern Tech Stack
This platform no longer relies on the outdated system. It is now powered by modern back-end technologies, ensuring long-term stability and scalability. Access for all users is also more streamlined and secured with multi-level access for staff and external parties.
Streamlined Operations via Automation
The new platform introduces critical process automation that replaces the previously manual user registration system. Administrators also have a streamlined workflow for approving applications within a dedicated interface, which minimizes delays and enhances overall operational productivity.
Complete UX & UI Modernization
We delivered a fully redesigned, intuitive user interface with redefined user flows that enhance satisfaction and productivity. Core to this overhaul was modernizing critical workflows, with new intelligent capabilities like AI-powered search to ensure accuracy and accessibility across languages.
