GFT & Palo Alto Networks: Pioneering Secure Digital Banking

With a history spanning over 35 years, GFT has distinguished itself in the crowded field of technology providers by focusing on key platforms and services that support critical activities within banks and insurers. 

Dean Clark, Chief Technology Officer for GFT UK, has been at the forefront of the company's transformation over the past five years. 

During this time, GFT has evolved from its German roots into a global data and modern platform engineering services provider, specialising in the financial services sector.

“At GFT, we typically focus on hiring and training engineers with core domain expertise, not just technology expertise,” says Dean.

This strategy has paid dividends. Despite global market challenges, GFT has outpaced many of its competitors.

Its strength lies in its ability to bridge the gap between legacy systems and cutting-edge technology. Today, it works with banks to support their cloud transformation strategies, as more organisations see the value of shifting away from their centralised mainframes.

While, in the past few years, some legacy institutions have been resistant to change, market pressures are forcing even the most conservative institutions to reconsider their technological strategies.
