That might've been the case, but it can't be the excuse. They were spending €100mil a year on maintaining the current infrastructure. The team's incentive is to save a large portion of that through the migration, and somebody higher up should've given them unlimited access to do so.

They were paying €100mil a year to a direct competitor who owned and operated the current infrastructure for them. The amount of money they were paying was, if anything, a direct incentive not to give them the access required for the migration.

> They were spending €100mil a year on maintaining the current infrastructure. As I understood they were made to pay that as the infrastructure was being used of another bank
