Transforming Banking Modernisation: Faster Change With Lower Risk (European Session)

Modern banking transformation has shifted from large, one-off programmes to a continuous process of evolution. Financial institutions are modernising core platforms, adopting composable architectures, embracing cloud, and introducing AI-driven capabilities – all while responding to regulatory demands and rising customer expectations.


As delivery becomes more iterative and systems more interconnected, maintaining confidence becomes increasingly complex. Individual components may be tested and validated, but ensuring that end-to-end business workflows behave as expected across a changing landscape is far more challenging.


In this webinar, experts from Temenos, Keysight, and Bloor Research explore how organisations can modernise at pace while maintaining alignment between business intent, system implementation, and real-world outcomes. The discussion highlights why traditional testing approaches are no longer sufficient on their own, and how organisations are evolving towards a broader software quality engineering mindset.


Key themes include progressive modernisation, the impact of composable architectures on validation, the limitations of relying on dashboards and pass rates, and the importance of linking quality directly to business outcomes and risk.


Join us for a practical, business-focused conversation on how financial institutions can deliver change faster – while retaining control, governance, and confidence across the entire delivery lifecycle.
