The Leading Banking Technology Firms in 2024
Today, banks and financial institutions are undergoing major transformational changes.
A recent survey by Deloitte reveals four key trends dominating banking evolution today, including:
. Core revival: The modernisation of legacy enterprise systems, and partly migrating them to the cloud.
. MLOps - industrialised AI: ML analytics are radically transforming data analytics with near real-time data processing.
. Machine data revolution: Taking data out of its siloes thanks to cloud, AI and ML technologies to make it easily available across all banking divisions.
. Zero Trust: Scaling cybersecurity capabilities to counter the threat of increasingly technologically enabled fraudsters.
