Cloud, the Critical Component to Power New Business Models

Financial institutions are now learning from leaders in other industries and applying acquired best practices for successful cloud adoption to their business models. The financial services industry is at an inflection point in its use of technology and banks have already started to seize this moment and embark on their transformation journeys.

With the increased agility that the cloud offers, products can be brought to market much faster and in a cost-efficient manner, which is what has led to traditional financial institutions adopting and migrating to the cloud with urgency. Key drivers, in addition to resilience, include the desire to be more efficient from a developer productivity standpoint and raising the bar on security has been equally important.

To workshop these best practices, experts gathered for a Finextra webinar, ‘Modernise, innovate and transform on the cloud’, hosted in association with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The panel looked to explore how financial services organisations are leveraging the cloud to transform existing businesses and bring innovative new solutions to market.
