Why NaaS is the smartest path to realising Financial Services Innovation in the Cloud.

Many financial services firms are still making the shift from their legacy environments to more agile ways of consuming and running IT. Networking is one of the most critical aspects of this transition. It’s the backbone that connects all parts of an organisation and its data, as well as its wider ecosystem of partners, providers, and customers.

The speed, reliability, and flexibility of the network directly impacts financial players’ pace of innovation, as well as their ability to provide highly available, customer-centric services.

The challenges and limitations of traditional networking are clear in our virtualised, cloud-enabled, data-driven world. It’s slow to provision, expensive to maintain, lacks flexibility and integration, and can’t scale effectively to handle big data sets and analytics workloads. The need to modernise and simplify networks is an imperative for financial services organisations as their infrastructures become more complex and they develop their multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud strategies to support business transformation.

Network-as-a-Service, or NaaS, enables financial services organisations to maximise the potential of the cloud as part of their digital transformation. It provides the future-proofed networking foundation that allows innovation and competitive differentiation.
