LONDON: #AI--NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, today announced a new global banking research report entitled "The Digital Horizon: Banking’s Shift from Mainframe to AI-Driven Cloud Infrastructure.” The research has unveiled findings from a survey of 650 global banking decision-makers, marking a definitive shift in the sector towards agile and customer-focused banking. Moreover, the survey uncovers a transformative trend: banks are finally pivoting from entrenched mainframe systems to adopt AI and cloud technologies, spurred by the multiple headwinds they face of consumer demands, innovative new market disruption, and the competitive pressures of innovative technological advancements.
Modernisation and Transformation Trends:
The enduring stronghold of mainframes in the banking sector is poised for a significant shift, thanks to the integration of generative AI into cloud migration strategies. NTT DATA's research reveals that 63% of banking decision-makers confirm generative AI is decisively facilitating the transition of banking applications to the cloud, indicating a transformative phase where mainframes’ resilience meets the agility of cloud computing.
25% of respondents also acknowledge a growing trend in cloud migration, propelled by AI advancements. This heralds a new era where the collaboration between AI’s potential to reinterpret legacy code and cloud technology's scalability is accelerating modernisation and transformation initiatives, suggesting that the longstanding reign of mainframes is approaching its horizon.
Kaz Nishihata, Director and Senior Executive Vice President at NTT DATA Group Corporation, commented: "Banks are not only evolving technologically but also culturally. The industry’s rapid adoption of AI and cloud is redefining business models and establishing a new norm in sector leadership. This technological tide is propelling banks toward a more intimate understanding of customer needs, delivering services that are faster, more secure, and uniquely tailored."
The research also found that the banking industry is rapidly embracing the transformative power of generative AI, with 45% of banks already incorporating it into their operations. Additionally, 30% are exploring its potential, signalling a proactive shift towards innovation. This adoption underscores the sector's commitment to future-proofing services and the desire for organisations to enhance their competitive edge in a fast-evolving digital landscape.
Nishihata adds, “The momentum for generative AI across the banking sector is a testament to the industry’s resolve to move beyond traditional mainframes, leveraging cloud environments to fortify security, enhance robustness, innovate, and boldly redefine. This transition promises a new era of innovation.”
