It's called the Future
Cloud Banking will reshape the future of financial services. It will reduce IT costs, increase speed of transactions and allow for quicker adoption of innovation. Ultimately, cloud banking will allow financial companies to service their customers in a more customized, personal and timely way. That level of service can only lead to one thing: a clear advantage for your bank.
The world's largest banks are saving 15 billion dollars from cloud adoption, cutting technology infrastructure costs by 25%.
Banks can experience a 40% instant reduction in TCO by moving to cloud and opting for an end-to-end managed service.

Leading enterprises, like yours, are doubling their data footprints many times each year. And as such, are looking to simultaneously reduce costs, take advantage of newer forms of big data, and enjoy greater flexibility in analyzing data, with powerful AI and ML algorithms. All of these are possible by modernizing data. In other words, moving data from legacy databases to modern cloud-based databases.
- Expertise and Experience on Public Cloud platforms
- Cloud4C Migration factory enabling Data migration
- Military-grade data security for data
- Zero downtime migration methodology
- Complex and Large-scale migrations
- Three-pronged migration approach ensuring Data integrity
Your bank, if it wants to stay ahead of the curve, needs to migrate to a DevOps deployment model. This will allow for greater agility and will let you go to market faster.

The container-based orchestration environment provided by Kubernetes offers significant flexibility in relation to building a bank’s cloud environment, whether in the public cloud, private cloud, or as a hybrid.
Kubernetes as a Service from Cloud4C helps your bank develop, run and manage cloud applications in multiple environments. Which delivers agility and reliability in an on-premise environment. Moreover, it allows for rapid deployment, updating of applications and maximizing resource utilization.
