For financial institutions (FIs), the idea of migrating core banking systems to the cloud has long been on the horizon. Partnering with the right cloud core provider helps you provide your customers with best-in-class service while maintaining high levels of security and compliance—even with a hybrid-remote working model.
Core banking is a term used to describe the mission-critical systems that facilitate all banking transactions. When those systems are moved to the cloud, processing happens in the cloud rather than within on-premise computer systems.
Cloud core banking leverages cloud technology to help financial institutions achieve greater capabilities through increased agility, performance, scalability, and significant cost reduction.
There are hundreds of cloud services to choose from. But selecting a cloud core provider isn’t always as easy as simply putting a pin on the first one that pops up in a Google search.
On the surface, it might seem like they all offer similar software and service offerings, but it’s critical to dig deeper. Like any business or technology partner you take on, you need to ensure it’s a good fit. For example, enterprise cloud core systems might not be cost-effective for small FIs, and some software as a service providers might not provide the level of personalization, service, and features you need.
The provider you choose should have experience in your niche. They need to understand the compliance requirements and data dependencies that drive your business model. Lastly, they should be capable of providing advanced, highly customizable, scalable services, excellent consumer experience, ease of use, and fast deployment to facilitate a seamless transition.
One of the most significant barriers to cloud adoption is the perception that the cloud carries more risk. However, today’s cloud core environments are far more secure (and cost-effective) than even the most sophisticated on-prem system can promise.
Cloud computing gives you access to faster, more powerful computing, advanced encryption, and the latest security and compliance tools. Protections are constantly updated to address current threats and regulatory compliance mandates, ensuring your data is safe and secure at rest, in transit, and during processing. Cloud core services are fully managed, reducing IT costs significantly and allowing your technical team to focus on mission-critical functions.
