Retail Banking and Insurance
“Fastâ€, “affordableâ€, “personalized†and “hassle-free†are words that are rarely associated with financial products and services. ‘Big’ no longer necessarily commands a solid position-the large and significant size of financial organizations could mean less agility than new market entrants. Complicated IT legacy systems and processes leads incumbent insurers and banks to miss on the opportunities to capitalize on data and analytics effectively.
Any pledge for insurers and banks to become customer centric will only be considered successful if their digital plans are aligned to the back-office functions. In IT terms, this will translate into sunsetting legacy systems; alignment to interoperability; better exploitation of cloud computing. However, most banks and insurers currently investing in small-scale private
cloud projects. That is not a surprise; the financial services sector is somehow reluctant to embrace cloud on larger scale, understandably due to regulations and security reservations.
This webinar will explore the state of cloud computing in the financial services; trends, demands, benefits and adoption barriers. How banks and insurers can capitalize on cloud to help accelerate reach, shore up loyalty, and buffer margins while avoiding risks. We will also discuss banks and insurers major investment strategy elements, and some tactics critical to driving successful cloud sales to financial services by vendors.
Join GlobalData’s webinar to explore how vendors and managed service providers should demonstrate reliability, and prove their security and credibility to effectivity sell cloud to the financial services.
