Digital Transformation. Why change? Why now? Why open source? Why Red Hat?

14/7/2017

There are a number of challenges faced by organizations today in all industries and especially in the Financial sector. Compliance with certain regulations and directives, digital disruption, open standards, systems integration, processes automation, mobility, applications development acceleration, are just some of those challenges. FinTech companies have already changed the way financial services are delivered to consumers. Therefore, the need to change the way traditional financial institutions operate is a necessity, and digital transformation is the key to that success.

Digital Transformation is an ongoing journey and if your organization has yet to embark on that journey, it should start moving towards that direction the soonest possible.  As per the latest research by MIT Sloan Management Review and Deloitte, 87% of IT leaders anticipate that their industries will be disrupted by digital trends but only 44% say that their organizations are adequately preparing for that disruption to come. Now, as per Gartner research, we still see 70% of IT spending in maintaining existing systems, 19% for growing and only 11% for digital transformation. Based on these findings there is still a lot of space for improvement. 

So which solutions are out there which can help you tackle today’s challenges? It is widely accepted that open source solutions drive rapid innovation. As per open source survey conducted by Black Duck Software, 78% of enterprises today run open source solutions. This shows that organizations today have indeed embraced open source technologies. Red Hat, being the leading open source company in the world, has a significant role to play offering robust, enterprise-ready open source solutions.
