Wall Street Technology Association (WSTA) “The Digital Transformation Revolution in Financial Services” Seminar & Panel Discussion for Financial IT Professionals
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 15, 2016 -- Lean. Agile. Responsive. These are all the buzzwords of digital transformation (DT)–the watchword for converting yesterday’s brick-and-mortar companies to operate at the speed of so-called “Digital Native Organizations” (or DiNOs). Companies like Amazon, Google, Spotify, and eBay have been transforming how business is conducted in the retail, advertising, and content delivery worlds–and now it’s Wall Street’s turn. But can heavily regulated companies subject to strong reliance requirements behave like startups? The answer, surprisingly, is “yes”.
