In "Now Tech: Banking Clouds, Q1 2022", analyst firm Forrester’s overview of banking cloud providers highlights the benefit for banks of working with fintech partners is that it can "quickly enhance … digital banking capabilities [and] support new business and operating models and accelerate your firm’s journey into the cloud." In a challenging and rapidly evolving post-Covid banking landscape, this agility is vital for banks looking to support customers and address the threat of digital challengers. As the report notes, industry-focused financial services clouds and X-as-a-service capabilities "promise simple scalability, innovation sourcing, legacy circumnavigation, and ecosystem engagements."
The benefits of fintech partnerships
The benefits of fintech providers are considered in both a tactical sense, such as improving both the customer and employee experience, and also as a means of accelerating a broader digital transformation strategy. Thomas Roth, CTO at CREALOGIX noted,
"We were delighted to see how, in our opinion, the CREALOGIX strategy to expand our SaaS delivery aligns closely with the Forrester view of the market. We also believe that our current roadmap aligns with the direction of the industry towards greater innovation through partnership."
Embracing the banking ecosystem
The report highlights that "The future of banking – for banks and non-banks alike – will build on dynamic business and application ecosystems."
This focus on ecosystems is also a central principle driving the success and development of CREALOGIX Digital Hub, which is built to integrate third party services and solutions as well as open banking functionality.
