Lead new opportunities and advancements in financial services

CEO greeting others in a meeting.

Coming off a successful week at Sibos 2022 in Amsterdam alongside many of our partners like Accenture/Avanade, BackBase, CapGemini, FIS, and SAS, we are energized by the incredible Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services partner solutions coming to market to help financial organizations continue their transition to the cloud and the many advantages it offers.

As my colleague Bill Borden noted in his recent announcement about the latest updates to Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services, we are committed to helping our financial services customers improve time-to-value, reduce costs, increase agility, accelerate innovation for sustainable growth, and create deeper customer connections. With Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services, organizations can take advantage of tools that allow them to connect data silos, limiting the number of systems needed and time required for simple lookups and searching, all within a secure cloud financial services data model designed for your business. Financial institutions that partner with Microsoft benefit from a suite of solutions designed to connect sales functionality, marketing, and customer service scenarios across omnichannel engagement systems with advanced analytics, data visualization, and AI-powered key performance indicator (KPI) reports.

“BioCatch’s cutting-edge technology together with Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services is a proven approach for fraud prevention to empower banks to deliver secure and frictionless digital experiences. By employing BioCatch through the Microsoft Marketplace our customers can reduce the time it takes to activate the service and have access to tools to address fraud by leveraging the behavioral insights of the Cloud.”Gadi Mazor, CEO, BioCatch.

Organizations want technology solutions that speed time-to-value and improve customer outcomes. This is a key area where Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services with our partners can deliver compelling business value to the financial services industry.
