Future-Ready Financial Services: Enhancing Competitiveness with SAP, IBM and AWS

About this event

Strong assets but continuing flat profits of 1.2% in 2024 amidst intense competition” is how Nikita Anand, S&P Global Ratings credit analyst describes in Malaysia’s saturated banking sector.

Banks recognise the need to modernise their operations and adopt new business models to bolster competitiveness, profitability, and even survival.

However, the path to modernisation is fraught with challenges, including outdated legacy systems, massive data management complexities, and the intricate task of seamlessly integrating disparate systems – old and new.
