Finextra is excited to announce its inaugural Financial Cloud Summit conference, scheduled for 2nd March 2023, taking place in-person at King’s Place in London.
The Financial Cloud Summit aims to assist decision-makers in banks with cloud migration, providing practical solutions to accelerate their journey. As banks continue to face challenges in meeting customer expectations, innovation plays a critical role in transforming how financial institutions interact with customers, particularly in delivering information, products, and services.
Cloud technology is essential for banks to maintain competitiveness amid rising customer demands, respond to disruptive threats, and seize new opportunities. Many banks that Finextra has engaged with prioritize enhancing the digital experience for customers, focusing on omnichannel communication strategies and personalized experiences to convey the right message at the optimal time and channel.
The conference’s agenda will feature insights from industry leaders, offering financial institutions a comprehensive approach to aligning their cloud strategies with business objectives. This content will highlight the significance of cloud technology beyond IT departments and provide guidance on developing cloud strategies, transitioning to the cloud, and optimizing existing cloud workflows.
The agenda will be structured around what the Finextra community considers the three essential stages of cloud utilization: Strategy, Migration, and Optimization. Cloud users in the financial sector are encouraged to attend sessions with their colleagues from various departments to leave with a cohesive action plan for transformation across these stages.
