Your ongoing cloud journey
The journey to the cloud is not one that should be rushed, nor is the right solution for your business always a fully “cloud-native” approach.
We typically recommend financial services institutions (FSIs) follow a “cloud–first” path to support business agility, optimized migration and cost reduction, all driven by risk appetite-informed decision-making.
To capitalize on the benefits of a cloud transformation, FSIs should revisit other IT initiatives and align them to an overall cloud-first enterprise IT strategy.
