Upcoming Webinar: Executing the Migration to Cloud to Enable Scalability and Innovation
Date: 22 September 2026
Time: 10:00am ET / 3:00pm London / 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 minutes
Cloud-based services and processing have become essential to financial institutions as their data management demands have become more complex and expansive.
Thousands of organisations have made the jump from their limited on-premises tech stacks to the near-infinite scalability opportunities of public and private clouds. They have also been motivated by the need to modernise their data architecture into a unified proposition that simplifies the stack from the complex and fragmented setups in which they have operated for many years.
With such an architecture in place, organisations can also leverage modern analytics and artificial intelligence applications. It will also enable the optimisation of critical governance, lineage and compliance capabilities.
For some, the experience hasn’t been a smooth one – effective migration requires careful planning. It also requires the consideration of a multitude of factors that have already been built into legacy systems over time and in a piecemeal manner.
With a migration to the cloud, those factors – which include governance, metadata management, vendor feeds and regulatory compliance, among others – must be actioned at once.
In this webinar, a curated panel of experts will discuss not only the principles and rationale for the migration to cloud but also the best practices for ensuring that move is executed with efficiency and ease.
Among the topics they’ll discuss are:
- Hybrid or single cloud architecture?: The safety considerations in relying on just one cloud operator
- Regulations and security: How can organisations ensure the resilience and operational safety of cloud-based operations
- The scalability conundrum: Dealing with the increased data governance complexity that comes with operational upscaling
- Tracing change: Keeping on top of metadata and lineage management as data challenges escalate
- Unlocking potential: How to make the most of cloud capabilities to drive innovation
