Why now

Market context

The financial sector is under increasing pressure to provide digital platforms more quickly while also meeting regulatory requirements for resilience, auditability, and data control.

Topics such as DORA, cloud outsourcing, risk management, and exit strategies significantly increase the demands on cloud infrastructures. Many institutions are therefore looking for European infrastructure models with traceable operational responsibility and reduced dependencies on proprietary platforms.

01

Organizational challenges

  • Regulatory requirements make rapid cloud transformations more difficult

  • Cloud outsourcing and exit strategies must remain controllable in the long term

  • Historically grown IT landscapes increase the complexity of hybrid operating models

  • Proprietary platform dependencies are increasingly viewed critically
