THE CLOUD IS HERE. THE CLOUD IS NOW. THE CLOUD CHANGES EVERYTHING.2

Our center helps client firms to design, develop, test and implement at scale innovative cloud solutions that meet their specific business needs by offering them the opportunity to:

Attend cloud use case demonstrations specifically targeting the Financial Services industry, and obtain assessments of related cloud solutions and their applicability to their situation

Access a greenfield setting for the co-creation, rapid prototyping and testing of a cloud- based solution that addresses their needs. This is done by using Accenture’s Design Thinking methodology, in direct interaction with Accenture’s specialists and cloud vendors

Conduct integration tests with their own application landscape and “package” solutions for a scaled implementation at speed in their business operation

Accenture works closely with leading cloud providers and numerous cloud technology vendors to help financial services companies reducing capital expenditures and standardizing core functionalities and IT infrastructure. Whether developed in house in a more agile manner or in cooperation with other companies, top line growth could be created through new services.

In cooperation with our cloud ecosystem alliances, Accenture has built a hybrid multi-cloud landscape and typical use cases that addresses many challenges of the financial services industry.

This approach can help strengthen and bring together global cloud resources and knowledge, emerging technologies developed by FinTechs, open source container platforms, and the Industrial Internet of Things.

It also gives client firms the ability to meet feasibility, security, and regulatory requirements and to conduct integration testing upfront, ahead of major investments and commitments.

THE ACCENTURE CLOUD INNOVATION CENTER FOR FINANCIAL SERVICESCloud looms large. As a powerful technology and business asset, the cloud can help financial services firms deliver outstanding customer service while redirecting valuable resources to the core businesses.
