Mastering Data Strategy and Data Quality to Remain Competitive

Saturday, October 7th, 2017

12:25 Legacy Meets Regulation and Digital

Legacy systems continue to be problematic for the financial industry, and the problem is unlikely to go away easily. This challenge has become even more convoluted with the increase in regulations, including Basel III, MiFID II and more. To further complicate matters, the digital revolution is quickly sweeping the industry and banks are looking to modernize platforms to take hold of new capabilities, such as robotic process automation (RPA). Preetham Kamesh will unpack all of these topics and more to help you:
• Understand the technology landscape and new opportunities
• Update and layer on new technologies to legacy systems while remaining compliant
• Take hold of new technologies to remove manual procedures and increase quality
