Financial services firms around the globe are reflecting on changing banking sector. Key themes include ‘rebuilding trust’ to address how banks can tackle the conflict between reducing risk and bringing down cost and ‘recovery’ looking at leveraging technology to innovate and capitalise on the improving climate. In addition, ‘regulation’ continues to top the agenda and will no doubt remain a C-level priority for many years to come.

These themes all come together when financial organisations start to look at the role of technology (and the IT team) in helping organisations overcome the obstacles they face. After all, data proliferation, and the need to better manage it, is at the root of many challenges being faced by financial institutions today.

Our customers are the proof that when firms finally move to a shared pool of resources, they gain economy of scale and IT agility. For example, Sal Oppenheim experienced much greater scalability, lower costs and an increased competitive advantage after implementing a grid technology solution.

Many organisations in the financial sector are now looking to take the next logical step from grid technology and expand into the cloud. There’s no doubt that the real appeal of this solution lies in the increased agility it will give businesses, a key focus of this year’s cloud computing keynote and panel sessions.

Creating a cloud environment is a big step as the impact of this technology on privacy, security and regulation is still a grey area for many organisations but there are solutions. Building a private cloud allows organisations to keep confidential information with their own systems so board members can finally allow their organisations to join the cloud party.
