Red Hat Financial Services Institutions Digital Boardroom

Cloud-based systems proved their mettle when banks needed to pivot to remote working, quickly upgrade customer-facing software, and snuff out fraud.

Financial institutions are using a range of public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions for project work such as the migration of applications and workloads. However, cloud adoption can often be delayed due to data sovereignty and security concerns. Many organisations struggle to determine the correct cloud strategy for their applications, with cloud projects failing to reach their full potential.

Join SCC and Red Hat to learn how to innovate without tying yourself up in knots and finally embrace projects as part of an ongoing Hybrid Cloud strategy.
