CDWT’s Dedicated BFSI Practice

Banking and financial services is a specialised specialty at CDWT, where we assist institutions in developing the optimal transformation plan. Regardless of the sort of bank, financial institution, or payments services provider you are, we have a tailored strategy to modernise your IT and offer the cloud advantages you need.

Chances are, if you manage a cooperative bank, you are contemplating a selected, phased modernization of your key systems. Depending on your bank's cloud adoption level, we provide the freedom to update the workloads and processes of your choosing. For instance, we may begin by migrating non-essential banking apps and then progressively transfer your essential banking applications.

As CIOs seeking to accelerate innovation and improve customer experiences, your cloud focus is likely to be the adoption of frameworks that enable additional mobile, internet banking, and corporate portal capabilities. Similarly, we assist established banks in migrating - product by product or geographical by location in a "Lift & Shift" fashion to new core banking platforms on current infrastructure, or in implementing a "Modernization" strategy for data, infrastructure, and apps.

By developing APIs on Azure for both internal and external usage, institutions may foster a more robust partner ecosystem. Azure encourages standard API reference models, such as the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN), and engages with the industry to provide new solutions that improve the user experience. Based on a service-oriented architecture, BIAN aids banks in increasing their architectural maturity and executing their digital banking efforts, ultimately enhancing the user experience and the quality of transactions.

CDWT in collaboration with Microsoft Azure can assist you in launching a cloud-born challenger bank with a new identity and set of supporting operations. Your bank may employ RPA to improve process speeds and construct real-time data hubs or data lakes in order to produce insights and develop new products. In addition to cloud-hosted apps being quicker, smarter, and more robust, banks have the ability to use the cloud's managed services capabilities.

Traditional on-premise systems are incapable of meeting the rising consumer expectations for real-time hyper-personalization, quick scalability, and the capacity to respond to emerging security threats. Containerization is secure because apps and data are 'contained' inside a task and are not accessible until made so; other containers cannot be affected. Kubernetes' container-based orchestration environment gives a great deal of flexibility in respect to the construction of a bank's cloud environment, whether in the public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud.

Kubernetes as a Service using Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) enables banks to create, operate, and manage cloud applications across different environments, enabling agility and dependability in an on-premises setting. Enables rapid application deployment and update, as well as maximises resource use.
