Climate Change and the Cloud : The Journey to Net Zero in the Energy Sector

Payment providers like you are sitting on a data goldmine hidden inside your mainframe. This data contains insights that can reinvigorate your product and customer strategies. Yet unlocking this data isn’t easy. 

Failing to leverage this data puts you at a major disadvantage compared to young start-ups and could spell doom for your organization if you don’t act. You need to evolve to provide real-time integrated data-driven services to stay competitive. Here’s how to do it.

In this webinar we cover:
• Key challenges & threats in the payments ecosystem
• How to get back in the game: liberating your mainframe with a hybrid serverless/containerized solution built on AWS
• The architecture for live-streaming mainframe data to the cloud
• Integration patterns used to support serverless functions

How to liberate your data from your mainframe with serverless integration

Standard business intelligence (BI) falls short in some critical areas, namely poor UX which causes friction when users are trying to garner insights. Setting up data tools so that insights are easier to find is extremely important, yet traditional BI tools lack this ability. 

This is where embedded analytics comes into play, which modernizes BI to help you find insights quickly and efficiently. Join Byron Allen, Contino's AI & ML Practice Lead, and Simon Darr, Principal Consultant, in this webinar as they explore:
• What is embedded analytics?
• Why should you care?
• The tools to use for embedded analytics
• And a demo of the Looker data analytics platform

AWS Landing Zone is ideal for setting up your multi-account AWS environment. However, problems start to arise with your Landing Zone when they scale and start to see mass adoption. This puts a massive demand on platform teams that is unsustainable, which is why 3rd party support is essential. 

Join us in this webinar to learn how Contino’s Flight Controller identifies, measures and tracks SLOs for Landing Zones so your team’s effort can be directed toward high value work. The discussion dives into:
• How 2 specific SLOs (Account vending & patching) can be tracked and measured using Flight Controller
• The Flight Controller architecture
• How Flight Controller uses CFCT v2

AWS Landing Zones: Your most common issues solved

The pandemic and recent tightening of regulations has thrown ‘Operational Resilience’ into the limelight.

In the financial services industry, banks are no stranger to the importance of resilience in maintaining financial stability.

Yet in an increasingly digitised environment, they are facing substantial pressure to keep up with rapid innovation cycles and deliver differentiated customer experiences. And while cloud has been a key enabler for modernisation, this world of open and embedded finance has introduced the potential for new operational risks. But does resilience naturally stifle innovation? Or can organisations stay resilient and continue to innovate?

Join Contino and Google Cloud for a panel discussion on Operational Resilience vs Innovation: The Role of Cloud in Financial Services.

The session will cover:
- Key trends and industry regulations impacting banks and building societies
- How organisations can move to a cloud-first model without compromising their risk posture
- Review of the FCA’s recent guidelines on Operational Resilience, and the impact of the public cloud on enhanced resilience expectations
- Patterns and practices that can help organisations be successful without compromising resilience
- How organisations can leverage Google’s multi and hybrid-cloud services to increase their operational resilience on premise and across other CSPs
- How can organisations build upon their operational data and observability to move towards near real-time Compliance and Resilience reporting

Operational Resilience vs Innovation: The Role of Cloud in Financial Services

Contino recently sponsored the Ministry of Defence's "Defence Hackathon" - our experts provided a workshop, mentoring, and technical expertise to MOD personnel during the week-long hackathon.

Running for the second year, the hackathon is run by MOD and Astra Appivate; the RAF’s High Code Software Capability, whose mission is: "to build bespoke software that enables our aviators in the delivery of air power.". The hackathon has been designed to celebrate the amazing talent and data skills within the MOD, and provides attendees a platform to develop their data engineering, data science and data analytic skills, and collaborate across multiple departments and divisions whilst developing applications and solutions that could meet the evolving needs of defence.

Contino’s data expertise across platforms, engineering and digital transformation projects, combined with our knowledge sharing culture, meant our experts were able to provide useful advice and support to upskill the MOD’s internal talent.

Building a Cloud-Native Payment Stack: How to Unlock a Seamless Payments Experience

Banks and building societies have long been on a journey to adopt the cloud for non-critical workloads. However, key systems such as core banking and payments still remain untouched. So how can organisations start to build out cloud-first, data-driven strategies that provide a truly seamless payments experience?

Join Contino, Pay.UK and Form3 for a panel discussion on:

- The current state of payments in the UK and key challenges organisations face with their legacy payment core
- Why organisations should consider cloud and payments as part of the same conversation
- What a cloud-native payment blueprint looks like
- How organisations can start to build a modern cloud-native payment stack
- How the payments ecosystem is evolving and what the future looks like
- Key initiatives organisations should consider as part of their payments strategy

How to Unlock a Seamless Payments Experience

Momentum: A Roadmap for Digital Transformation at Speed and Scale

Digital transformation is...complex! It’s about much more than just technology change. It also requires a huge shift in culture. And cultural change can be difficult to tackle.

To make each and every transformation initiative a success, we align the different areas of our business to a cross-functional team that works to support all the elements of your transformation. We call this team a 'Squad'.

In this video, we show you how Squads can help you achieve your business goals fast.

Introducing The Contino Squad Model

In tech, development teams drive innovation. But how can enterprises optimise product delivery, minimise attrition rates, and boost team productivity? We look at:

- What a positive Developer Experience (DevEx) looks like and why it’s important in enterprise transformation
- How enabling a phased DevEx can address common pain points, increase autonomy and help boost team productivity
- What can happen when the DevEx is hindered
- Implementing feedback loops that reinforce a positive culture and a continuous improvement mindset

Developer Experience: How to Create an Awesome DevEx in the Enterprise

Environmental sustainability is the core social responsibility of our time. 
Having a clear strategy and actively working towards net zero is no longer a choice; it is required for modern enterprises to survive.
