The banking industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Forces, such as weak economy, digitization, intensifying competition, demanding customers and increasing regulation, threaten to further disrupt traditional business models and lower profits for the global banking industry. Clearly, many incumbents are struggling to keep pace. However, the technology which is causing this disruption can also be leveraged as a catalyst to drive sustainable growth. The possibilities are many – if we choose to unlimit ourselves and reimagine banking with modern technologies. This session will share Finacle’s vision and strategy to help banks achieve this.

Speakers: Don Free, Research Vice President, Gartner (Moderator)

To realize the aspiration of truly digital transformation, traditional banks need to take a holistic approach. While most banking leaders are eager to add new digital capabilities that will open up greenfield opportunities for growth and profitability, they have to also ensure their existing processes, and applications are capable of absorbing and supporting such rapid innovations. A linear approach, which prioritizes one over the other, is likely to fail. Listen to this panel of bankers who have taken a holistic approach to digitization and have established a robust foundation for accelerated growth.
