A conversation with Technology and Cloud Expert, Shamla Naidoo The Importance of Cloud Adoption for Financial Services Firms: The Benefits, Challenges and Considerations
The Big Data movement continues to shift the pendulum for financial services organizations. More than ever companies are looking to add value through data to improve agility and their ability to deliver high-quality products and services. This is putting increasing pressure on legacy information-technology (IT) infrastructure and the teams that manage them. Transformative digital solutions are no longer a mere consideration, they are becoming critical to be competitive in today’s market. Cloud computing, in particular, has taken center stage among technology teams building for the future.
Reference Point recently sat down with Shamla Naidoo, a Senior Advisor and member of the firm’s Advisory Board to discuss this important trend. Shamla has an extensive background on the subject, having served as a Managing Partner at IBM until June 2021, where she advised CEOs, Board Directors, and other C-suite executives on effectively creating and securing their digital transformation. Before that, she was Global CISO for IBM, where she was responsible for protecting IBM's brand and reputation, intellectual property, and corporate and customer data. Her mandate included creating and influencing the security culture of 500,000 employees and partners and managing the risk of cybersecurity threats while supporting innovation and business growth.
