White paper: Multi-cloud fundamental to financial services’ transformation
Established financial services businesses are actively seeking cloud transformation to ward off the challenge of new, cloud-native competitors. They are increasingly making the move to multiple cloud platforms as they look to derive business value from emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and container-based application architectures.
Choosing an optimum cloud strategy will play a key role in the financial services market over the next two to three years, both as a platform for transforming from existing traditional IT infrastructures and as a vehicle for enabling new, technology-driven innovations.
The next few years are, therefore, a critical time in financial services’ business transformation process, and market leaders are already succeeding in establishing unified multi-cloud environments. Indeed, more than three-quarters of financial services businesses (77%) expect to be using some form of cloud platform as their primary environment within the next two years.
