Go-live isn’t the finish line—it’s the handoff. Real success starts after the confetti falls.

Go-live isn’t the finish line—it’s the handoff. Real success starts after the confetti falls.

In every transformation program, there’s a moment where confetti falls, a cake gets sliced, and someone shouts, “We did it!” That moment is often called “go-live.” But as this cartoon perfectly captures, success is a little more complicated than balloons and punch.

You see the celebration, but then your eyes wander to the whiteboard: ROI model TBD, customer migration next month, integration phase two pending. Classic.

And if you want to benchmark your own institution’s readiness against the market, you can also try our Core Banking Transformation Readiness Scorecard, which helps you see how your bank stacks up against the themes revealed in CB RADAR™.

CB RADAR™ is not a vendor pitch. It’s a reality check. And in a market where every decision carries long-term consequences, clarity is your strongest advantage.
