Although major milestones have been reached and most banks have already invested a substantial amount of time and money into replacing their traditional core banking systems with more modern core systems, there is still a long way to go.

Next generation core banking solutions are imperative to the running of smoother banking operations and allow for competitive differentiation between financial institutions. The main driver of efficient and effective maintenance and control of core banking systems is modernisation, particularly in terms of providing cost economical solutions through the use of decisive analytics and most importantly, innovative supporting technology.

With the main aim of core banking transformations being to provide improved pathways for agility, flexibility and long term growth, it is essential for financial institutions to understand the importance of continuous upgrading and rejuvenation of their existing systems. In addition, with technology constantly changing as a result of banks trying to overcome daily challenges, this opens them up to an increasing number of different risks.

To safe guard themselves from unanticipated challenges and the risk of falling behind and being overtaken by competitors, Trade Conferences International brings core banking professionals the ultimate opportunity to get up-to-date with latest advancements taking place in the core banking environment.
