Is there nonetheless this large push for cloud migration? What are what are you form of following and listening to out of your purchasers? Yeah,

Rodrigo Silva 10:19:18
completely. So so with the there’s extra confidence than by no means proper? The general public clouds has has now a stronger presence in, in all over the place in banking, tons of funding by the hyperscalers. Financial institution see value reductions and innovation being key for for the banking world. These days, adopting cloud is a should. We we see future, the way forward for banking is within the cloud.

Our purchasers are, are contacting us purchasers which might be at this time on on prem options, working on their very own information facilities are taking a look at shifting to the cloud, both their very own cloud suppliers or shifting to our SAS operation the place we handle the hyperscalers on behalf of our purchasers a

Whitney McDonald 10:21:09
couple of issues to interrupt down there, in fact, nice stats, so thanks a lot for placing some numbers to it, however perhaps like a break down just a little bit what these conversations appear to be when a consumer approaches Temenos and says, You already know what, I do need to migrate to the cloud. What’s that the first step? After all, it’s it’s costly, and it may be a giant endeavor. So what are these conversations initially appear to be?

Rodrigo Silva 10:21:33
It’s all about the advantages, proper that our purchasers will see with the cloud. And at the start, what we have to perceive is the banking atmosphere as we all know has modified. Proper? We’ve got demanding clients which might be in search of providers 24/7 Um, we’ve got the rise of latest rivals, proper, you’re speaking about fintechs, you’re speaking about new banks, you’re speaking about bass suppliers, you have got regulatory pressures available in the market, we’ve got very powerful nonetheless very powerful market situations with rates of interest being excessive. So all of that put pressures on the banks to grow to be extra revolutionary to alter the methods they’re doing issues. Additionally, you’re taking a look at new efficiency metrics and efficiency drivers, proper innovation, buyer centricity, operational efficiencies, danger, compliance, synthetic intelligence, AI, is in all places. So so there’s a variety of pressures within the banks to do issues in a different way in rethink the best way they’re working at this time. And cloud brings precisely that with Cloud, they’re going to see value efficiencies, they’re going to see and be capable of present enhanced buyer expertise. They’re gonna have scalability benefits, adaptability benefits, you have got, you have got a variety of automation, inside inside the cloud world deployment pace, the hyperscalers have invested so much in safety, enterprise agility. So once more, the cloud is the place the banks will be capable of compete and thrive within the digital world. You have a look at the wave of cost suppliers and Neo banks on the market, and so they’re constructed from scratch on the most recent cloud expertise. And within the incumbent, which might be utilizing nonetheless these legacy methods that spaghetti methods as we joke, are, are actually not suited to to the calls for of this digital period. So so it’s fairly frankly, a race towards obsolescence. The transfer to cloud will give the banks the agility, they should go to market with new merchandise and, and cater to their purchasers wants, and actually future proof their expertise stack.

Whitney McDonald 10:23:48
Yeah, you simply talked by a number of advantages. After all, the aggressive facet, you talked about that fintechs are constructing on Cloud, they’re probably not having to try this carry. So from from the advantage of speaking by the advantages, and the necessity to keep aggressive, is certainly key right here. So perhaps we are able to discuss what these concerns are. There’s clearly the professionals that we simply talked by. Nevertheless it’s not simply as straightforward as okay, we’re going to maneuver to the cloud now. So how do you actually think about value? How do you think about what it’s going to ivolve a time dedication? What does that sound like whenever you’re whenever you’re discussing that together with your purchasers?

Rodrigo Silva 10:24:24
Yeah, you’re completely proper. Proper. It’s it’s an entire shift to a brand new set of various practices. You’re speaking about automated testing, design, a extra of a buyer centricity mannequin, that the necessity for accelerated manufacturing environments, shorter supply cycles, larger high quality, so So the advantageous establishments, the banks, they should be ready for it, ensure that they’ve the proper assets in place to tackle the world of cloud, in addition they must ensure that they’re working with with distributors with companions, they’ve a broad and deep set of cloud native banking capabilities. Identical identical requires that we simply talked about for the banks you have got internally with their very own assets, it is best to anticipate that out of your distributors and out of your companions, proper. So having having confirmed cloud supply confirmed is scalability, confirmed migration credentials expertise doing so. So after I look internally at 10, home windows, proper, we’ve got expertise of working with 700 SAS purchasers at this time, they’ve already migrated or began in our SAS atmosphere. So huge scalability, proper, we’re a company that has been doing this for for a few years now. We’ve got each on premise purchasers and SAS purchasers, and in a variety of our on prem purchasers is X have truly carried out the our functions on their very own cloud suppliers, proper, that being AWS, or your or, or what have you ever, as a result of we’re an utility that day. That’s that’s cloud agnostic. So once more, deep expertise, understanding of the regulatory atmosphere, understanding of the safety atmosphere, ensuring that you just’re compliant, and having a few years in our case, 30 years working with with financial institution IP is essential for, for our purchasers to to achieve success. And they need to be contemplating all of that after they’re making their transfer to the cloud.

Whitney McDonald 10:26:28
Quite a lot of the conversations that we’ve got is about that vetting course of and ensuring that the distributors that you just do choose have those self same, whether or not it’s safety and even simply values and form of what you’re making an attempt to perform all line up. So yeah, that undoubtedly resonates. I do know that you just additionally simply talked about tendonosis cloud agnostic So perhaps we are able to discuss just a little bit extra about the place terminos suits in. So if in case you have a consumer that as mu is shifting towards the cloud, what does that appear to be for terminos? How do you guys assist alongside that journey? Yeah,

Rodrigo Silva 10:27:01

Whitney McDonald 10:29:30
Which makes it much less daunting, proper? You don’t need to do it unexpectedly you possibly can form of do it piece by piece and see the way it works after which decide okay, what’s the following piece that we must always transfer over? You don’t need to do it multi functional fell swoop.

Rodrigo Silva 10:29:45
That’s completely right. So you possibly can take your time. And relying on your enterprise technique and your danger urge for food, and the way snug you might be with the transfer, you possibly can determine which items to maneuver first. And once more, that’s these are the kind of conversations that we like to have with purchasers. I’m very lucky that in my function, I’ve an opportunity to talk with many banking executives and discuss to them and with them about, you understand, what are their urge for food to maneuver to cloud? And we confirmed some stats earlier on it, everybody’s speaking about it. And the query is, how shortly can we transfer? And what ought to we transfer first? And who’re we going to be working with and we’re glad to see that there’s a variety of belief in what we’ve got been capable of present the market. And, and we’re seeing a variety of curiosity in, on this transfer.

Whitney McDonald 10:30:32

However what do you suppose is subsequent inside this cloud banking mannequin? How is that this cloud migration evolution altering? What are you waiting for? What’s subsequent in your perspective?

Rodrigo Silva 10:30:56
Yeah, so what we’re seeing is the market is altering. And so is the best way the banks eat expertise, proper? They’re shifting to SAS, we finish with a SaaS providing, you might be principally allocating all these high quality, the obligations round managing the infrastructure, managing the safety, the the monitoring the day after day operations, the shut of enterprise, the updates the upgrades, placing that within the palms of a of a vendor, proper, a company like like dominoes on a cloud atmosphere. So we’re seeing them transfer increasingly more that could be very, it’s a mannequin that has been in place, particularly in North America for a few years. However we’re seeing that increasingly more all over the world as effectively. That took just a little longer to adapt and to undertake that information. Name it the the SAS mannequin or simply placing With all that accountability within the palms of a vendor, now, what we’re seeing as the following wave is, is basically is Cloud Analytics, proper the quantity of name it what the banks can do with all the info that may be out there within the cloud, as a result of cloud lets you permits the scalability to actually transfer large quantity of information in and in with the pace and scalability that you’ll want to, to have the ability to handle that. And with with Cloud Analytics, banks will be capable of to have actual time perception into buyer behaviors, market tendencies. And that’s tremendous essential as they’re launching their new merchandise and their subsequent finest supply and the way they’re managing different points of their enterprise corresponding to danger profiling, Fraud Administration, so on and so forth. So So with a extremely scalable, says mannequin, along with a sturdy localization and native operations, proper, the banks can really feel snug on shifting into into the cloud atmosphere and, and once more, with a vendor that has been doing that for some time.
