It has been widely established that the cloud is the next big step for financial institutions to become more agile, flexible, and scalable. The financial industry has become a storm as more and more companies flock to the cloud for data, real-time efficiency, and broader accessibility.
According to Google, by 2027 over 50% of enterprises will have shifted to the cloud to boost their businesses and create more accessible and efficient platforms for their services. Cloud is seeing massive growth from all industries, and prominently from the fintech and banking sectors as industry leaders rush to get ahead of their competitors.
However the move to the cloud is no easy task, as financial institutions require funds, time, energy, and talent to support the transition. As enterprises embark on their modernisation and digital transformation journeys, they are looking to new technologies to aid as they transition such as AI-driven technology.
72% of cloud experts see digital transformation as more than a simple task of “lifting and shifting” of company data to the cloud. The complexity of restructuring a company’s infrastructure with the help of a third-party in a new space is daunting, and requires a significant amount of prior planning and decision-making.
To discuss how financial institutions are adapting to consumer demand and security concerns in the cloud transition, experts came together for a Finextra webinar, hosted in association with Temenos, ‘Keeping pace with customer experience demands during cloud migration’. The panel explored how banks are approaching digitisation on the cloud and using new technologies to scale up and expand.
