Business Challenges and Drivers
The banking industry is experiencing a wave of consolidation. Their primary need is to maintain customer loyalty during this transition. The ability to keep pace with the changing competitive landscape was being hampered by outdated development and computing environments. Delivering products at web-scale is not just a customer retention mandate, but a competitive advantage in an era of increasingly agile disruptors.
