Cloudification: Removing operational and technology burdens to transform to an agile, compliant, cost-effective business

Traditional banks need to transform fast in order to compete with challenger and neobanks.  Sound familiar?

  • 91% of North American and European institutions believe cloud is a top priority
  • 44% of banks are planning to integrate their own products or capabilities into outside ecosystems in order to expand their reach.

Financial institutions have long viewed legacy core technology as a hinderance to innovation,” said Stephen Greer, Senior Analyst, Celent. “They are realizing that an open, cloud-based core has the ability to actually facilitate innovation and eliminate the roadblocks and inefficiencies caused by lack of integration with other technology solutions used within the institution.”

Speakers: Michael Manno, Client Delivery Manager for Sales and Field Operations and Thomas Mathew, Director - Industry Cloud - Financial Services, Microsoft
