Modernizing your enterprise payments platform

In this Coffee Break learn how generative AI can help reduce the cost and complexity of meeting your bank’s policies. We explore the work we are doing with a large global bank in Europe to reduce
the time required to perform risk assessments while discussing the potential role of agentic AI in this area.

Existing regulations evolve, are amended, and equally importantly: New regulations make banks revisit, evolve, amend, add, and even fix controls. This is a very highly specialized, time demanding mission, which demands effort every time a new regulation arrives, and when the control framework becomes so complex that requires a revisit/refresh.

Key Points:
- Compliance is a critical and specialized function in financial services, requiring skilled professionals to monitor contracts and controls.
- GenAI can assist if trained on financial regulations transparently, but frequent updates are needed to keep models relevant.
- Open-source AI enhances transparency and trust, benefiting compliance tasks like contract and control framework reviews.
- While GenAI improves efficiency, human expertise remains essential for interpretation and final validation.

How GenAI helps meeting banks’ compliance obligations

Business impact of automation on financial firms

Observability is a key design principle for cloud-native applications in a hybrid cloud environment. The practices and approaches that worked well in an isolated, on-premise environment are not sufficient in the hybrid cloud. New practices, tooling, and techniques allow companies to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), improve service levels, and improve customer satisfaction for modern, web-scale applications.

As enterprises increasingly take advantage of hybrid cloud solutions, observability needs to become a first class citizen in the design of other types of workloads, such as risk calculation, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)-model training and inference, and fraud monitoring.

Join this session, as we will discuss best practices and recommendations to help financial institutions manage the observance of their hybrid cloud applications.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

How to improve failure prediction and analysis.
Enhance service level agreement (SLA) compliance and mitigating SLA breaches.
Performing root cause analysis in complex computation scenarios that consist of many tasks, running across multiple environments, and integrating multiple external systems.
When to address new regulatory requirements for compliance, auditability, and reliability.
Extending the concept of system health to functional aspects such as ML model drift monitoring.

Observability in financial services
