Financial services firms are working to harness the transformational power of modern IT. Along with modernizing the core infrastructure, financial services organizations are turning to cloud adoption for agility, resiliency and expandable resources. According to a Google Cloud survey of 1,300 financial services leaders, 83% reported they are deploying cloud technology as part of their infrastructure. However, regulatory compliance and data privacy, along with data availability, drive the need for a reliable, performant and secure IT infrastructure.
Today, most use cloud to make tactical changes to the existing infrastructure, processes and applications or to add capabilities to on-premises environments. Though there is certainly room for more mature cloud use cases here, modernization is a critical step for financial services organizations that want to enter the contemporary era. With APEX for Financial Services, customers can deploy a modern as-a-Service infrastructure, in a true OPEX model, that can be consumed across on-premises, hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments.
