Imagine you're already a customer of Finshape, standing on the threshold of deploying your brand-new Finshape Digital Banking Operating System (DBOS) with a developer license. Excitement is high, expectations are even higher, and everyone is eager to get started. On our side, we assemble a specialized delivery team. On yours, a group of experts ready to take on the future of digital banking.
Then comes the complex part: training, familiarization with the new platform, and daily cooperation between teams. This stage is where challenges often surface—misaligned expectations, inconsistent communication, knowledge gaps. At Finshape, we know this well. And we’ve built a solution that turns these challenges into strengths.
We don’t just implement a platform. We empower people to use it to its fullest potential.
Introducing the DBOS Academy
The DBOS Academy is our structured training and education program, designed for newly onboarded customers, partners, and internal teams. It combines theory with real-world practice to ensure users not only understand the DBOS Platform, but can work with it confidently and effectively.
We’ve embedded knowledge sharing into every layer of the DBOS ecosystem—from the software itself to our documentation, delivery processes, and beyond. The Academy is a key part of how we advance digital banking knowledge within banks and partner organizations.
Why the Academy Matters
Delivering modern digital banking solutions requires more than just a robust technology foundation. It takes skilled people who know how to build, configure, and operate powerful platforms like DBOS. That’s why we treat knowledge transfer as a core part of our value.
With the DBOS Academy, we help banks build internal expertise—creating a “small Finshape” within their own teams. This leads to:
- Faster implementation and smoother delivery
- Better engagement with subject-matter experts
- Fewer errors and reduced rework
- Less reliance on external vendors over time
What the Academy Covers
The DBOS Academy is designed with flexibility, depth, and role-specific focus. It is not a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, it offers structured, personalized learning paths aligned with your team’s responsibilities and goals.
Blending Theory with Practice
The learning journey begins with a strong theoretical foundation. Participants gain essential knowledge through:
- Live lectures hosted by DBOS experts
- Guided e-learning modules tailored to various user levels
- Curated self-study materials that reinforce key concepts
Once the fundamentals are clear, the Academy emphasizes practical application. Teams engage with real-life use cases, from simple workflows to complex scenarios, and participate in hands-on consultancy sessions to build confidence in live project environments.
Tailored for Every Role
To ensure relevance and impact, DBOS Academy offers dedicated learning tracks for all key stakeholders involved in platform implementation:
- Business and Integration Analysts focus on mapping business needs to technical solutions and understanding integration layers
- Architects explore platform architecture, scalability, and best practices
- Front-End and Back-End Developers learn how to customize and extend the platform with real development use cases
- Testers and DevOps Specialists are trained to maintain quality, reliability, and operational excellence
Each participant can apply for an individual learning path, monitor their progress, and receive certification at the end. This formal recognition affirms their expertise and readiness for their role.
Choosing the Right LMS: Why 360Learning
Creating a high-quality educational program like the DBOS Academy meant we needed the right tools to deliver it. Our specialists had a long list of requirements for the learning management system (LMS)—it had to be flexible, user-friendly, collaborative, and scalable.
After evaluating several platforms, we chose 360Learning. It supports our blended learning model and makes it easier for us—and our customers—to stay engaged, informed, and aligned throughout the learning journey.
Proven Impact: Trusted by Banks Across Regions
CKB Bank Montenegro, Ipoteka Bank, Al Baraka Bank, and the Finshape Hungary Team have already participated in the DBOS Academy. Each of these institutions walked away better prepared, more self-reliant, and capable of delivering high-quality digital banking experiences with the DBOS Platform.
Everyone can apply for an individual learning path, track their progress, get certified at the end, and be better prepared for their role in the digital banking journey.
Final Thoughts
Delivering modern digital banking solutions requires more than just a powerful platform. While our Digital Bank OS (DBOS) platform provides a robust technology foundation, true success depends on people—the ones who build, configure, and operate the final solution.
That’s why we invest in knowledge transfer as a core part of our value. The DBOS Academy is how we help banks build internal expertise and create a “small Finshape” within their own organizations. This is key to accelerating implementation, engaging subject-matter experts, and reducing vendor lock-in.
With DBOS Academy, we equip teams to be ready faster, make fewer mistakes, and achieve more independently.
Let’s build the future of digital banking together, one expert at a time.
