Successful cloud transformation in just a few steps

A cloud transformation involves much more than just introducing new technology. It involves looking at the bank as a whole — i.e., moving applications to the cloud, including the migration of applications, data, software, and even the entire IT infrastructure — in line with your bank's business objectives.

This includes an analysis of your business processes, your security and compliance requirements, the potential impact on your cost plan, and an overview of your IT architecture. By clearly defining your goals and requirements, you can ensure that your bank's cloud transformation delivers the desired benefits and meets expectations.

In addition, the involvement of your employees in the transformation project is a key success factor. Only early involvement and targeted preparations and training ensure that the transformation is supported and actively driven forward by everyone in the company.

Our recommendations

Develop and define your individual cloud strategy, describing, among other things, what goals you want to achieve with the cloud, what technical aspects need to be considered, what risks need to be taken into account, and which systems should be transferred to the cloud and for what purpose. Also clarify how the cloud will affect your organization, existing workflows and processes, and your IT and business strategy.

Get an overview of your bank's organizational and technical business processes. This will help you identify areas where adjustments are needed or skills need to be developed in order to effectively leverage the benefits of the cloud.

Check what measures are in place at your bank to ensure the security of people, data, and systems, and what compliance requirements apply. This will help you identify the cloud model that is right for your bank.

Create a cost plan that takes into account running costs, future investments, and potential changes. This will help you keep track of your costs and estimate potential savings.

Get an overview of your bank's IT architecture. This will help you identify the scalability, availability, and performance requirements that an optimal cloud solution must meet for you.
