Digital Transformation in Financial Services
-
Financial organizations is another vertical like healthcare that demands
a no-hiccup operation at the maximized performance. Any performance
problems including outages or degradations is totally unacceptable.
Also many of these organizations are spread globally and IT teams have the responsibility of supporting multiple data centers at scale and ensure that the information is delivered to the audience in real-time. This may lead you to believe that they run the latest and greatest technologies, but in many cases those organizations continue to rely on IT infrastructures that are built on outdated components and are running with vulnerabilities.
Financial organizations are also seeing a flood of disrupters in terms of technologies and usage models that will help them outpace competition, which puts constant pressure on their IT teams who not only have to keep the lights "on and secure", but constantly have to think about how to diligently make the choice between those business transformation projects in light of their potentially outdated infrastructure as well.
