Financial Cloud Summit: three builds to success
Providing financial institutions with a recipe for success, the Finextra Financial Cloud Series Conference will help financial leaders formulate an actionable cloud strategy that aligns with business needs.
By demonstrating the cloud’s importance beyond the IT and technology departments, this agenda forms a method for creating a cloud strategy, migrating to the cloud, and optimising existing cloud processes, answering commonly asked questions about the cloud.
The agenda is therefore split into what the Finextra community perceives as the three core stages of cloud usage: Strategy, Migration and Optimisation.
Users of the cloud in a financial context are encouraged to join sessions with their cross-departmental colleagues to ensure that they leave with a solid holistic transformation plan of action, across these three core stages.
Plan and select, Connect and consume, Budget and secure.
Choose and validate, Adapt and communicate, Support and manage.
Identify and consolidate, Tailor and innovate, Equip and improve.
