The Digital Bank: Reimagining the customer experience and empowering a high-quality, committed workforce

Today, people have more financial options available to them than ever before, leading to less reliance on and engagement with traditional banks. At the same time, globalization and regulatory complexity is driving a continued need for simplification and automation. In this session we’ll showcase how banks are delivering new value to drive increased relevance, loyalty, and profitability – while enabling their employees to work and collaborate as a team from anywhere, on any device, with modern productivity tools that provide seamless access to data, to innovate faster.

The Digital Insurer: Unlocking digital customer and employee experiences

Faced with high product saturation and growing demands from a new generation of customers, insurance carriers are seeking to improve the quality of customer interactions to drive retention and organic growth. In this session we’ll show how insurance carriers are unlocking digital customer and employee experiences with omni-channel delivery, customer insight, and employee digital workstyle solutions to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and create compelling customer experiences across all channels.

Financial Services and Cloud: A Regulator’s Perspective

In this session, we will explore the unique perspective financial regulators and industry experts hold about the adoption of cloud technologies by financial services companies, as well as their thoughts on the evolving regulatory landscape in this space. Our panel of former regulators and industry experts will help us identify the trends and market opportunity, explore the current regulatory guidance, as well as offer thoughts on how cloud regulation in financial services will likely evolve in the coming years.
