Cloud Strategy
Radian cloud readiness project proved to us Radian’s ability to
adopt the cloud as a centerpiece to our modernization, despite
significant change management demand ahead of us.
Modernization both short term
and long term will benefit from
the cloud strategy. And IT
innovation will become a strong
enabler of Radian’s business
strategy.
Customer meetings and
compliance research has shown,
the customer concerns around
the cloud will be mitigated by our
security posture and encryption
approach.
… while maintaining an inherited posture of continuous technology and financial
improvement.
