No other industry grapples with the challenges of quickly creating new and more competitive offerings underpinned by digital technologies than the Financial Services Industry (FSI). FSIs are not only in competition with similar firms; they must also compete and win in the market with nimble digital-native competitors.
From ML algorithms for trading and fraud detection to highly engaging mobile banking experiences, technical leaders must leverage technologies that increase the velocity of their teams’ ability to bring innovations to the market.
Tech leaders increasingly look to the speed and agility benefits of Kubernetes as a platform for rapidly creating software innovations. In a recent Futurum study, 56% of application developers stated they have adopted Kubernetes in their application deployments.
In this research brief, Kubernetes as The Platform for Financial Services Innovation, completed in partnership with Pure Storage, Futurum examines the accelerating business and technology requirements of FSIs and how using Kubernetes in applications and software development can aid in meeting these demands and expanding business opportunities.
