Intelligently transforming financial services and insurance

Driving innovation, resilience, and compliance for regulated industries

What are the key industry challenges and tech trends for financial services and insurance?

Banks and insurers face relentless regulatory change, legacy system debt, and rising customer expectations. The shift to digital, AI, and cloud is essential but complex. Firms increasingly struggle with fragmented data and high-volume analytics demands, especially in capital markets where KDB+ workloads require faster modernisation.
