A Finextra Research Impact Study in Association with Calypso Technology and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Cloud adoption for financial services firms has been on the rise over the past few years - a trend that has been further bolstered by the wave of digitisation brought on by the global pandemic.

A survey of financial services firms’ cloud attitudes conducted by bobsguide in 2020 revealed that nearly 83% of participants were already working on the cloud, with 50% expanding their use and the rest of the respondents having already completed their cloud migration.

Financial institutions in the global capital markets space are facing unprecedented regulatory scrutiny, IT rationalisation, and cost pressures while still having to deliver value to their clients, which has shifted the spotlight on cloud from innovative or experimental initiatives to mission-critical workloads that can be made leaner and less expensive to maintain.

While cloud has become a common mode of delivery for innovative capital markets firms, recent financial pressure, global macro-economic uncertainty and the need to respond to regulatory change has led to cloud adoption and migration being integrated and considered a crucial part of a financial institution’s business strategy in optimising mission-critical workloads with cloud technology.

In this impact study, we discuss the key drivers of cloud adoption, as well as strategies that ensure successful outcomes for customers who want to make the move to cloud.
