Core Banking Application Modernization for IBM Z with Zafin: Paving the way to a transformational future in financial services in real-time
Digital disruption, changing consumer expectations, and cloud-first disruptors are challenging traditional financial institutions like never before. Add to this the unprecedented change brought forward by the COVID-19 pandemic and digital transformation has moved from the realm of strategic priority to a matter of business survival. Many global financial institutions have built their success on the mainframe and its capabilities. However, over the years, the applications they have built have been additive in nature thereby increasing cost and complexity. In their quest to modernize and simplify the core banking system, they are realizing that through externalization of product and pricing, they can achieve business agility in addition to modernization and simplification.
However, operational changes at the core carry a hefty price tag with significant risk and often many years before payback is realised, if ever.
90% of the world’s top banks run on IBM Z. IBM Z has partnered with Zafin to strategically modernize banking systems so that they become engines for growth, agility and innovation. Simplify your core, de-risk your modernization program and accelerate project payback.
In this webinar, our experts cover how your bank can:
• Transform and modernize applications more efficiently
• Engage the API economy to extend your core applications
• Minimize risk and move faster through progressive modernization
• Benefit from new real-time banking solutions
