Unlocking value in times of digital transformation

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges financial services companies face with legacy technology and the importance of adopting a 'no-regrets' architecture amidst rapid tech changes.

Financial services companies are sitting on legacy technology and not doing anything with it, says Tata Consultancy Services’ Shankar Narayanan. But while now may not be the best time to implement a big technological strategy, as tech changes rapidly, companies cannot afford to stand still. Adopting a “no-regrets” architecture could be the answer. The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments , pensions , regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.
