Trust is vital for financial institutions, aiding in attracting and retaining customers, and providing a competitive edge. Compliance and governance are also crucial, making them fundamental to banking operations.

New cloud native tools and practices, like DevSecOps, though seemingly daunting, can actually enhance these security and compliance. For example, the shift from long-lasting VMs to short-lived, immutable containers allows applications to be compliant from inception and remain so in production.

The integration of application developers in security, as part of DevSecOps initiatives, can further boost security and compliance. But, this approach requires new tools and methods.

In this third talk, we'll discuss these new tools and methods such: 

- The use of guard rails and templates to ensure standards are met in containerized applications.
- Tools that facilitate centralized governance and reporting across numerous distributed container workloads.
- Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) creation and automation to ensure a secure software supply chain.

Join financial services veteran Darran Rice and transformation expert Michael Coté to hear how banks are using cloud native tools and practices to ensure security and compliance.

How Cloud Native Improves & Ensures Security, Governance, and Trust in Finance

Using software to evolve how your company works, the relationship with your customers, and to build new financial products is vital. But most companies quickly get stuck in the legacy trap. 76% of executives said legacy software is holding them back from introducing new features in their software (Forrester Consulting). Legacy software not only slows down your business, but also starts to incur higher costs. As the software ages and people forget how it works you also incur significant risk. In the second part of the series, we’ll cover the strategic planning and agile tactics that financial institutions are using to escape the legacy trap. You’ll learn:

- What the Swift method is and how it covers the analysis of your legacy portfolio.
- How to creates a road-map for software and process modernization
- Gets you moving quickly to both ship business value and learn how to modernize your apps with minimum risk. 

Join financial services industry veteran Darran Rice and transformation expert Michael Coté to hear how banks are modernizing the legacy app portfolios that are holding them back. Attendees will also receive a free copy of Escaping the Legacy Trap that details the process large organizations are using to modernize their legacy application portfolio.

Financial Sector Webinar Series: Escaping the Legacy Trap

Apps are now the primary interface with both your customers and your employees. It’s difficult to think of a part of finance that is not done through an app or that does not rely on software-based back-office functions. Everyone expects apps, but also fast, if not instant responses. We're even starting to see new banks that only exist on phones! The first part of our series will cover:

- Best practices for developing software that focuses on customer experience. 
- Processes and tools that make continuous innovating possible.
- The organization changes management must make to transform.

Using case studies and real world examples, you’ll get a clear idea of what software development best practices are and how to put them in place. These software innovations are used not only to optimize and drive customer experience, but also drive new revenue and financial products.

Join financial services industry veteran Darran Rice and transformation expert Michael Coté to hear how banks are moving from a project to a product software model to innovate and improve banking services and remain competitive.

Financial Sector Webinar Series: Customer Experience & Innovation

The world’s most successful financial institutions embrace digital technologies early. They recognize that to keep pace with changing customer expectations they have to be early adopters. Perhaps the most dynamic example of that today is the digital payments segment, where the digital wallet is the modern paradigm. Are you ready for the next disruption in digital payments?

Faced with a growing population of tech-savvy end users who are comfortable with the idea of a cashless society, banks, retailers, and credit card companies are all rethinking their digital payments strategies as their opportunity to attract new customers while delighting and retaining existing ones. However, this changing digital payments ecosystem brings a new breed of competitors born out of the tech sector, where software is not just a competitive advantage, it's a corporate asset. Financial services teams need to embrace this mindset - that software is a corporate asset - to continue thriving!

In this webinar, we’ll share real modernization patterns for ensuring a successful digital payments initiative. We’ll give examples from our customers, along with practical advice and metrics for measuring and sustaining success.

We will talk about:
- Increasing developer velocity and time to market to stay competitive
- Doing more with existing and new infrastructure using APIs  
- Sustaining an innovation-driven culture
- Balancing continuous innovation with security
- Preparing for what’s next  from standards and technologies.

Cashing In: Staying Competitive with Digital Payments

In the past year, embeddings have gained significant traction as a powerful technique in the fields of Machine Learning and Generative-AI. These embeddings serve as vector representations of data points, capturing their essential characteristics and features.

However, as the demand for efficient semantic search at a large scale increases, there arises a need for a robust platform capable of storing embeddings and enabling seamless search capabilities.
Greenplum, a cutting-edge data warehousing solution now equipped with the performance-oriented pgvector. As an open-source extension for PostgreSQL, pgvector empowers customers to store ML embeddings, construct AI applications, and execute high-performing similarity searches.

In this talk, we’ll learn how to leverage its powerful vector similarity search capabilities within Greenplum and harness its potential in combination with OpenAI models and finally discover how this integration can revolutionize the development of Image Search applications and domain-specific Chatbots.

Key Points:
- Introduction to pgvector: the Open-source vector similarity search for Postgres
- Store and query ML Embeddings inside Greenplum using pgvector extension
- Perform efficient semantic similarity search at scale on Image & Text Embeddings
- Simply set up, operate, and scale your ML-enabled applications.
- Demo 1: Build an AI-powered Chatbot for your product documentation in Greenplum combining pgvector and OpenAI API.
- Demo 2: Text-to-Image and Image-to-Image Search Using CLIP model and pgvector

Takeaways:
- Leverage Greenplum data warehouse as a Vector Database for large scale AI-Applications
- Store unstructured data inside a relational database as Embeddings/Vectors alongside metadata
- Process Texts & Images and build ML-applications using Greenplum’s Python library and pgvector extension

Building AI-Powered Search Apps on Greenplum with pgvector

It's been a year and a half since the White House released its executive order on Transforming Customer Service and Service Delivery. Since then, we've witnessed an incredible effort to improve how the government delivers services to citizens -- including funded pilots for improved service delivery, dashboards reporting on delivery and customer service, and new role creation and recruiting energy. 

But is this great work in the public sector enough to meet Americans' growing expectations? Today, Americans demand a better experience - one closer to the countless enterprise applications they encounter daily. Public sector organizations must be ready to tackle additional technical challenges and adopt new practices including: 

- Modernizing legacy back-end systems alongside new CX experiences
- The enablement of government employees and hiring strategies
- Scaling beyond a first CX win into a thriving, enduring culture change
- Building a secure, repeatable path to production to enable continuous delivery. 
- The enablement of government employees and hiring strategies

Organizations that grow these new practices across their teams will reduce inefficient manual processes, eliminate unnecessary workloads, and ultimately, provide better service delivery. In this webinar, we'll explore the strategies and tactics your organization can employ to begin building the next generation of public service software.
