FRANKFURT, Aug ⁠27 (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank said ⁠on Thursday that it has ‌made progress in simplifying legacy technology at its retail division.

• Specifically, the ​bank has chosen ⁠a new so-called ⁠core banking system as it ⁠seeks to ‌reduce 15 systems to two.

• The ⁠bank said it is "an important milestone ​in ‌the multi-year transformation of ⁠its technology ​infrastructure."

• It follows past stumbles that included a botched ⁠integration of Postbank, which ​left customers complainingthat they were locked out of their accounts and ⁠unable to reach call centres.

• The system Deutsche Bank has chosen is Thought Machine's ​Vault Core ⁠platform.

• The core platforms are ​central systems that ‌run the bank's products ​and services.
