QWhat are the key tech challenges and opportunities for banks and financial services organizations?

ABanks and financial services businesses are navigating technological changes to adhere to regulations like DORA, while the AI Act will shape their modernization journey.

Meeting new security and anti-money laundering expectations, exploiting the potential of generative AI, and addressing end-of-life technology while providing a resilient and excellent customer service experience is an ongoing challenge and opportunity for enterprises to excel.

QHow is mainframe technology relevant in the current FinTech landscape? 

ADespite often being overlooked, mainframe technology remains crucial in the financial sector. Kyndryl’s State of Mainframe Modernization Report found that 89% of surveyed enterprises, including many financial services organizations, still see mainframes as extremely or very important to their business strategy and operations. Mainframes offer optimal performance, reliability and robust security for mission-critical workloads.

QWhat is your advice to executives for modernizing their mainframe environments? ?

A Some key fundamentals for starting or accelerating the transformation journey:
  1. Adopt a hybrid approach by determining the right platform for the right workload to leverage the strengths of both cloud and mainframe.
  2. Securely unlock mainframe data through APIs for use in new and innovative ways.
  3. Invest in training the application development workforce to equip new developers with skills in mainframe technologies.
  4. Recognize that transformation is an ongoing journey, requiring constant re-evaluation and adaptation to determine the best business outcomes.
