Financial services (FS) organizations are in the midst of multiple digital transformations, ranging from cost optimization initiatives to the astonishing and ongoing advances in the mobile customer experience that we’ve all become familiar with in recent years.
The shift towards a modern digital workplace was flying a little bit under the radar – until the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to a PWC survey report, 69 percent of FS companies surveyed in June 2020 said they expected more than 60% of their workforce working from home at least once a week going forward. That’s more than double the percentage that gave that response before the pandemic.
Post, COVID-19, FS companies faced the sudden need to rapidly expand their work-from-home capabilities. This is where HPE comes.
The good news: HPE, together with partners like Intel and VMware, offers a portfolio of high-performance virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions designed to meet those specific needs.
Dr. Rita Ndidi Amuchienwa, Intel Africa’s country leader, delivered a keynote address at a recent premier technology event focused on ‘Building Digital Workspaces for Financial Services’.
The conference brought together top tech organizations, partners, C-level executives, and customers from the financial sector.
Dr. Amuchienwa showcased Intel’s innovative solutions, including:
Multi-Cloud Strategy:
Intel’s technology supports a flexible, multi-cloud architecture, enabling financial organizations to select from various internal and external cloud services.
She said that this approach boosts business agility, flexibility, and efficiency while ensuring security and compliance.
Real-Time Analytics:
Dr. Amuchienwa highlighted Intel’s software and hardware platforms, powered by 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. This solution empowers financial institutions to leverage real-time analytics, predict future outcomes, create personalized customer experiences, and streamline security and compliance processes.
The event provided a valuable platform for financial sector CEOs to gain insights into the latest technologies and strategies for driving digital transformation.
