DESCRIPTION

From Financial Services to Finance as a Service - How Cloud will transform banking Banks are simultaneously conservative and aggressive adopters of emerging technology, which makes them an interesting case study for cloud adoption. This presentation will begin by looking at the types of services produced and consumed in the finance industry, and how these will be transformed by the commoditisation trend that we call cloud computing. Right now the banks are dipping their toes in the public cloud, whilst starting to transform their own infrastructure into private clouds. Clearly there will be barriers to adoption, such as security and compliance. There will also be business imperatives of agility and efficiency that will push these barriers down. The conclusion will present a vision of banking in 2020, reshaped by cloud computing.

CLOUD ADOPTION 2010

Public Cloud

Lots of experiments on IaaS (such as EC2) for high compute low data applications like Monte Carlo simulation (which is used a lot for derivatives pricing & risk management)

PaaS yet to gain real traction (but it’s newer than IaaS and SaaS)

SaaS is starting to find its way from low risk niche to mainstream• HR (learning management, payroll)

Private Cloud

Banks use compute the same way that Aluminium plants use electricity

• Economics of utility model look different when you consume at sufficient scale

BUT

• You can learn a lot from the companies that are industrialising the utilities and disrupting the marketplace• Book shops don’t care about the

profitability of the IT industry (and neither should banks)

Page 15: Finance as a Service

Industry Cloud

Trading venues (exchanges/MTFs) are industry utilities

•Many common characteristics with public clouds

BUT

• Avoid many of the risks
