Financial Services

Digital transformation for financial services is vital amid the surge of competition. Fintech players and data-rich tech firms are forcing financial service leaders to embrace disruptive innovation at speed, demonstrating a “north star” of technology-enabled client success. To stay relevant, new customers must be won and retained through exceptional, hyper-personalized experiences powered by digitization focused on unlocking data across the organization.

Actionable insights on performance, growth, and optimization have become more efficient and cost-effective – putting more accurate, timely information in the hands of decision-makers. Today’s market conditions and regulatory pressures require a different, practical approach to addressing management’s need to know more.

To meet evolving needs in a data-first, cloud-driven world, financial leaders must undergo business process transformation and focus on shifting the enterprise with data-centric infrastructure and strategic direction.

Business Insider Intelligence reports tech giants are set to grab up to 40% of the $1.35 trillion in US financial services revenue from incumbent banks.
