Summary
Banks run hundreds of capital markets systems that duplicate functions, fragment data, and inflate costs. A modern, cloud-native architecture treats data like shared city infrastructure, standardizes common utilities, and supports AI-ready automation. The solution is building transition layers so critical risk, treasury, and reporting stay live during migration.
