Presentation

Digital Transformation of HSBC – or Changing the Engines of a Jumbo in Flight

HSBC Digital Solutions has been established to deliver the digital transformation of the bank in order to reap significant efficiency gains in the delivery of retail banking and wealth management in the 21st century. In this presentation we share some of the challenges that the bank encountered along this journey. These range from creating digital solutions for 30 markets, a client base of tens of millions of customers and the need to integrate digital solutions with a diverse estate of legacy systems. We explain the changes that were made to leadership, development skills, processes, architectures, tools and deployment platforms and how these achieved the successful release of the first digital services.

What You’ll Learn

• Digital solutions are changing the relationship that customers have with financial institutions.
• Transforming a large, traditional financial institution to offer digital services at Internet speed is hard.
• It can be done if the right people with the right mind set come together.
