Leading Technology-Driven Growth in Financial Services

Financial services organizations recognize the first-mover advantage of successful change. Yet until recently, banks had been cautious with cloud. While driving business value in pockets, fully modernizing with one or multiple clouds was viewed as complex and risky, creating cloud chaos. Now mindsets have changed and multi-cloud is accelerating.

Sterling National Bank was one of the first traditional banks to fully embrace the public cloud. Teaming with VMware and Deloitte, the bank exited two data centers within a year, and implemented a scalable, reliable, and secure platform. The modern cloud platform allowed Sterling staff to use existing skills, tools and processes to speed its cloud time to value. Other financial services institutions are now working to do the same, moving to become cloud smart to compete and thrive in today’s digital economy.
