Capital Consult has been with us on this journey every step of the way and we quite simply would not of been successful without their support and commitment. Capital's experience is unquestionable, backed by a broad range of expertise, ‘kit bag’ of materials, they helped us maintain laser focus on the essential requirements of our regulators."

They bought an in depth knowledge and experience of the Regulatory requirements and pragmatic activities and solutions.

"We knew something had to change to support the high velocity of application migrations that were planned for 2021 and 2022, particularly AMP’s Extreme Inherent Risk business applications that each required an APRA ‘no objection’ before migration to the public cloud.
Capital Consult joined the program and made an immediate impact by providing strong guidance and hands on support in producing each submission. As a result, they quickly became known as the ‘APRA Whisperers’.
We would never have delivered the CloudX transformation without the tremendous support from our partner Capital Consult, to whom we are very grateful.

The team from Capital Consult bought deep expertise in the deliverables, approach, and delivery of the submissions to the regulator. They were able to understand and work closely with first, second and third line stakeholder needs required for a complex Financial Services business. Capital Consult helped us achieve a ‘no objection’ from APRA for both our cloud migration and cloud based open banking platform.
Thanks to the Capital Consult team for helping CUA achieve a significant milestone on its transformation journey."

"Without the engagement of Capital Consult and their expertise in the Australian Finance Services sector - in relation to the APRA regulatory framework and Cloud and Digital business transformations, the IAG Cloud Strategy would not have momentum, traction, approval and structure for the future.
The Capital Consult team have bought expertise, professionalism plus a drive and determination to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and business. This was pivotal to us now having a cross business Cloud strategy, roadmap, operating model and delivery of our first workload into AWS.
I would recommend them strongly for any business which is looking to bring speed and scale, via Cloud, into their business."
Mark Drasutis
Chief Digital Officer, IAG
"Capital Consult was engaged to facilitate all actions needed to prepare for an IT Operational Risk Review by APRA. We supplied over 580 documents to APRA and prepared 13 presentations. The Capital Consult team did an excellent job of ensuring all task owners met their deliverable dates, as well as ensuring all stakeholders were kept informed. As a result the right preread and presentation information reached the regulator and this was reflected in an excellent report.
I would be happy to engage with Capital Consult again."
