Bank in a Box

The modern financial system includes both antiquated processes and procedures and those that can be executed with the click of a mouse. Some processes/tasks are often time-consuming and error-prone, while others are completely frictionless. Banks are under pressure to upgrade their core systems and adopt new technologies for real-time transaction processing and rapid product launches due to a rise in consumer demand for digital experiences and more competition from fintech and other digitally savvy enterprises. As a result, banks are embracing new technologies such as the cloud, a key facilitator of digital changes and a possible means of reducing technical debt.

Banks: the moment to upgrade the core cannot be postponed

  • Offer seamless customer service
  • Invest in the technologies of individual business units.
  • Utilize the worth of all data, whether organised and unstructured.
  • Develop IT flexibility while maximising the time and expenses associated with conventional IT maintenance tasks.
  • Accelerate access to emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and in-memory databases such as SAP HANA.

    The Trade-Off

    While digital transformation generates significant potential for businesses, it also adds a new dimension to the conventional risk perspective. In their pursuit of seamless consumer experiences, banks do not want to sacrifice compliance or security standards. However, they do not want to remain their old, inflexible selves in order to prevent transition danger.

    Do you need to make this trade-off?

    Whether you asked us if you should make this trade off, we would answer NO. Risk Mitigation and Customer Experience are of equal importance.

    There must be a risk-free acceleration to the cloud.

    The issue is not whether or which applications should be moved to the cloud, but rather how to safely migrate them.
    For the majority of banks, migrating to the cloud has presented formidable obstacles.

    hardly anything to do with the creation of new cloud-native apps

    The cloud has everything to do with guaranteeing the perceived robustness of risk mitigation in their existing context.

    Banks that avoid or proactively address transformation hazards will have a greater chance of completing a successful digital transformation without schedule or budgetary overruns. In addition, banks that periodically assess their methods in the areas of people, process, and technology with the assistance of a capable partner might find improvement opportunities for future large-scale reforms.

    Experience vs Risk It is not a game of zero-sum.
