The pace of technology disruption, changing consumer preferences, and the need for banks to come up with new business models are disrupting the current banking landscape. Banks are moving away from being perceived as a physical structure that offers financial services/products and are becoming an ambient fabric connecting people and businesses.

As banks embark upon the transformation journey, access to talent with capabilities across emerging themes is becoming a key challenge. Banks are quickly realizing that this is not a technology war, rather a war for talent. At the same time, there is a need to take these emerging solutions to market at a pace that can help them stay ahead in the competitive curve. Given the rapidly-evolving technology landscape, partnership with the technology service providers, who can bring talent and help banks improve time-to-market becomes pertinent.

Accordingly, service providers have stepped up their investments to deliver a holistic front-to-back digital transformation. They are inclined toward developing talent and have been focused on developing solutions and accelerators.
