An hour of downtime costs an average of $9.3 million U.S. dollars per hour in the banking/finance industry, needless to mention about the lost consumer confidence and damaged reputations in a sector where trust is the cornerstone of doing business.
The sun never sets for modern banking. Today’s consumers demand fintech innovations, online banking, and personalized services on their fingertips without a second’s worth of delay, 24/7. And, banks must modernize their core IT infrastructure to make this possible; consumer-facing solutions and apps should be available anytime, anywhere frictionless. While the answer is definitely on the cloud, it’s easier said than accomplished. Banks, operating on large-scale, hypercomplex legacy mission-critical infrastructure could cautiously deem fit to invest in marginal improvements, security enhancements rather than full-scale IT transformation on the cloud.
