For financial services institutions, the biggest hurdles to cloud migration are cyber and regulatory risk, as well as lack of confidence to run mission-critical, data-sensitive workloads in the cloud. IBM helps remove barriers to hybrid cloud adoption by tackling challenges head-on and building an environment that enables modernization while reducing risk throughout the supply chain for financial sector clients.

“Corporate Security Information Officers are often challenged by the lack of transparency in security and compliance controls, as well as operations found in public cloud offerings,” said Chuck Canton, President, Kandy Communications, “Many of today’s banks, financial markets and insurance companies need solutions to help reshape customer experience, digitize operations, reduce risks, gain competitive advantages and unlock revenue opportunities. The combination of the IBM Cloud for Financial Services and our Kandy Business Solutions including Smart Office provides safe and secure unified communications plus the building blocks necessary to embed real-time communications into their business processes and customer engagements.”
