How banks are solving the cloud complexity conundrum

A view from Red Hat on how banks can rein in growing cloud complexity

As both banks and regulators have accelerated their move to cloud, complexity has significantly increased. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Red Hat’s Dr. Richard Harmon about how banks can rein in that complexity and leverage cloud to better meet regulatory requirements and manage risk. According to Richard, identifying critical failure points and adaptability play key roles, but the biggest determinant of success is an enterprise-wide cultural shift to a cloud-centric world.

Dr. Richard Harmon is the global head of financial services at Red Hat. He has over 25 years of experience in capital markets. with specializations in risk management, advanced analytics, fixed income research, and simulation analysis.
