Paul Thomalla, Global Head of Payments, Finastra, talks about how small-to-medium-sized banks have had to work hard to adapt to a rapidly changing payments landscape

The rapid development of new technologies in financial services is vastly increasing the pace of change, prompting financial institutions to evolve with the times, or risk being left behind. This is especially true in the area of services and suppliers to financial institutions.

Among its many benefits, cloud has the power to increase flexibility, agility and security. The move to cloud is inevitable, with 40% of firms in our study planning to increase their use of platform-based solutions over the next 3-5 years.

As technology shapes the financial landscape, so too do the ever-changing relationships between IT suppliers and banks. We commissioned a series of reports from Greenwich Associates to understand how financial institutions view their relationships with their IT suppliers and what is important for them when it comes to collaborative partnerships.

However, as more and more banks look to move toward the cloud and others make the leap to managed services, we’re seeing financial institutions seeking closer involvement in their transformational IT projects.
