Banks: Ready for disruption?
Peter Barrett discusses the issues banks are facing when it comes to transforming IT in their business. These include cloud adoption, usage of AI and automation, DevOps skills and security.
Today’s fast-paced business is getting even more constrained by uncertainty for the future where rapid decision making and shorter lead times are required for survival and success in the ever-changing financial climate.
Hear how Scania Financial Services is future-proofing and transforming its organization for increased business value. Scania FS has multiple locations and a very inhomogeneous IT structure, facing various regulations, compliance needs, and diverse data availability. Scania FS decided to focus on business value by concentrating on use case deployment and reimagining the use of financial and non-financial data for internal and external use.
By combining new technologies and processes and with the power of Accenture’s and Microsoft’s expert alliance (AMBG), Scania FS has built a foundation to easily scale and adapt to market conditions with agility and speed and be ready for any future opportunities that lie ahead.
In this webinar with Scania, Accenture, and Microsoft we will discuss:
- The reason why Scania FS needed to change and the principles that were developed
- What steps are taken to become an insight-driven business and developing data driven decision-making processes
- How is the program executed and what use cases have been in focus
- The technology and architecture behind the transformation and how this is managed in an agile way
