As demand for digital services grows, financial services firms are looking to innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, Big Data analytics and cloud-native applications to provide the flexibility and performance required to keep up with the digital challengers.

As a result, companies are more reliant than ever on their data. Some are turning to modern data architecture, both on-premise and in the public cloud, to build analytics capabilities which draw out the insights locked within data in real-time, helping to develop new value propositions at scale.

However, many businesses risk being weighed down by a host of challenges, including legacy technology, difficult-to-access data silos and sluggish applications. Unstructured data workloads can also overburden systems, increase cost and ultimately hold back attempts to innovate, with the net result that firms risk being left behind their more agile competitors.

This digital roundtable with industry peers will explore the role of data and cloud native applications in digital transformation across financial services, examining key pain points and possible solutions in building modern data architecture.
