ON-DEMAND WEBINAR SERIES
Future-Proof Your App Modernization Agenda for Banking and Financial Services
Cloud acceleration should be one of the key drivers of digital transformation in BFSIs. Already, we are witnessing an increasing number of banks adopt a diversified cloud strategy focusing on 4 key benefits including cost, speed, resilience and flexibility. With 72% of BFSIs saying they will achieve higher levels of cloud maturity by 2022, the question is whether they will be identifying and prioritizing moving application, workloads, and business process to the cloud in a manner that delivers the best results.
Cloud migration and cloud operation pose many risks, which need to be addressed, but this is just the first step. Cloud-mature organizations are now moving to the edge which allows them to deliver applications that are even more user-centric than before. This means BFSIs are moving towards IT transformation supported by distributed applications and a multi-cloud approach.
Our two-part webinar series on modernizing IT frameworks for BFSIs will focus on charting the right course for towards IT modernization underpinned by the cloud, mitigating risks and moving to a distributed cloud ecosystem.
On-Demand Session 1: Workloads Primed for the Cloud – How and Why BFSI’s Should Move to Being more Cloud-Centric
Here, IDC and F5 will attempt to dissect, analyze, and strategize the cloud-centric approach perfectly suited to transform the legacy IT frameworks of BFSIs and put them on the path of modernization, backed by a cloud-centric digital transformation approach.
