BBVA has closed out a momentous year for ADA (Analytics + Data + AI), its global data and artificial intelligence<\/a> platform built around Amazon Web Services (AWS). The bank has now completed the expansion of ADA as the Group\u2019s common data platform, now operational across all its geographies. This means that BBVA now operates on a single, cloud-native data infrastructure fully aligned with the regulatory requirements of each country. This milestone makes ADA one of the cornerstones of the bank\u2019s digital transformation<\/a>, laying the groundwork for innovation<\/a> and scalability, and ensuring a more agile response to client needs within an increasingly demanding digital environment.<\/p>\n

BBVA also received international recognition in 2025 from some of the most prestigious organizations operating in the financial and technology spheres. These awards go to show the technological strength of ADA, its business impact, and BBVA\u2019s prowess at carrying out complex transformations on a truly global scale, cementing the Group\u2019s status as a benchmark in innovation and digital transformation.<\/p>\n

The Banker named BBVA Best Technology Bank and ADA Best Transformation Project<\/a> at its Technology Awards, citing the platform\u2019s strategic value and structural impact. Meanwhile, CIONET and Vocento named ADA \u2018Best Project in the Cloud\u2019, Infrastructure & Operations category, recognizing both the platform itself and the cloud migration process. Moreover, Global Finance included ADA among the most innovative initiatives<\/a> in the international financial sector at its The Innovators Awards.<\/p>\n

These accolades recognize not only ADA\u2019s technological maturity, but also its ability to generate real value for BBVA clients and to raise the bar for data management in the banking industry.<\/p>\n

Global rollout and consolidation as the Group platform<\/p>\n

The year 2025 marked a genuine milestone in ADA\u2019s international consolidation. In May, BBVA successfully deployed the platform in Mexico and Colombia and, in a second phase, extended its implementation to Argentina and Peru, thereby completing the planned roadmap.<\/p>\n

In tandem, the Group completed the definitive shutdown of its former local data platform, thus eliminating legacy technology dependencies and significantly lowering operating costs. This milestone bolsters BBVA\u2019s cloud-first strategy and streamlines its technology ecosystem.<\/p>\n

With this notable progress, ADA<\/a> is now firmly established as the BBVA Group\u2019s common data platform, fully operational across all geographies where it is present. As a result, the bank now benefits from a global, consistent, real-time view of information, supported by a cloud-native infrastructure that combines scalability, security, and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

Scale, business impact, and advanced analytics<\/p>\n

ADA currently processes more than 100,000 daily tasks across 8.4 petabytes of information, while handling more than 30,000 active data sets. The platform serves a broad community of over 7,500 data professionals and 40,000 business users across two continents, illustrating its immense scale and relevance within the organization.<\/p>\n

Access to information, which previously could take several days, is now achieved in just minutes, representing a qualitative leap in agility and responsiveness. Thanks to its cloud architecture and automated global governance, ADA has significantly improved operational efficiency compared with traditional solutions.<\/p>\n

The platform has also fortified the bank\u2019s analytical capabilities through tools such as Amazon SageMaker AI and QuickSight, as well as pilots with AWS<\/a> Bedrock enabling the secure and governed exploration of new generative AI use cases. In parallel, ADA is moving toward a Data Mesh model that fosters more decentralized data management, under which each business area is responsible for its own data and makes it available to the rest of the organization in an autonomous, secure, and properly governed manner.<\/p>\n

ADA has become a key competitive edge for BBVA, as shown by the achievements made and accolades obtained in 2025. The platform not only transforms the Group\u2019s technology infrastructure, but also enables faster decision-making, the development of more personalized client services, and scalable innovation that impacts all areas of the bank. ADA marks a new standard in data management and artificial intelligence in the financial industry and makes BBVA even more adept at adapting, innovating, and leading the way forward in a constantly evolving digital environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BBVA has closed out a momentous year for ADA (Analytics + Data + AI), its global data and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[148],"class_list":{"0":"post-1508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bbva","8":"tag-bbva"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
