Recorded Webinar: Tackling digital transformation challenges for operations teams
Digital transformation is a hot topic in capital markets, promising modernisation, better decisions, and faster time to market. It can deliver innovative front-office customer-facing applications and cloud solutions – but what is often forgotten is the role, and importance, of the back office in these transformative programs. Digitisation can only be as effective as the systems, data, and processes which support it – and these areas are increasingly neglected as the race to innovate accelerates.
Many financial institutions rely on an intertwined network of poorly maintained and understood legacy systems, around which users have created their own manual workarounds, impeding efficiency. They are keen to take advantage of more modern, low-code technology and automation opportunities, but their existing operational challenges make this difficult. At the same time, operations teams are under relentless pressure to increase efficiency and cut costs.

- The impact of digital transformation initiatives on operations: How should back-office teams be preparing?
