I can report from another bank (in the top 10 globally), that recently moved from a more bespoke system (not even on Python) to having Python+Notebooks+Labs available to all - using Apache products and a global Anaconda-like Python distribution. The fact that you can use the Python, R or whatever programming language seems to be a factor.

would you mind telling, which Apache products. I've been thinking about pushing that to around my organization (mostly for replacing reporting/...) but especially the I/O-interfaces are not that great if you are not living in a central database yet.

I imagine something container-like with the notebook/batch-job (can be anything really), hooking up to datasources such as SMB-shares, thus allowing people who want to automate generating report Z to just request access to folder X for their job and thus be able to seamlessly create dashboards/... even if a lot of the org still is using "traditional" workflows.
