"Financial services are ready to innovate."
The financial services industry is changing fast. New technologies like Generative AI and containerisation are being used more than ever. For partners working with financial organisations, it is important to understand these changes and what they mean for your customers.
Financial companies are quickly adopting new IT methods to improve productivity and efficiency. According to the latest Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index Report for Financial Services, all the companies surveyed are using containers to run their applications.
Containers help provide flexible and scalable environments needed to manage sensitive data across different cloud systems.
Generative AI (GenAI) is growing fast in areas like customer support and content creation. Soon, it will be used more for important tasks like cybersecurity and fraud detection. However, many firms say they need better security and stronger rules to protect their AI systems.
Many organisations also face challenges with finding skilled workers and updating old technology. While most believe they have some skills, many are still hiring and training to meet the demands of AI projects. Modern, secure infrastructure is needed to support these changes, especially in mixed cloud environments.
Although the return on investment may take time, most companies expect to see benefits within a few years. This means there is a long-term plan in place for AI growth, focusing on improving performance and business results over time.
What does this mean for you as a partner?
Financial services organisations are ready to innovate but need strong support to overcome infrastructure, security, and skills challenges. By understanding these trends, you can position yourself as a trusted advisor who helps customers modernise their environments, secure their data, and develop the skills needed to succeed. This is your chance to deepen relationships and expand your services in a market that is investing heavily in AI and cloud technologies.
