financial services institutions are innovating identity and access<\/a>, download our white paper.<\/p>\nDigital disruptions drive new technology<\/h2>\n
New financial technology firms are disrupting the model of traditional financial service providers by taking advantage of new technologies and increasing amounts of accessible data to deliver an enhanced customer experience. These digital disruptions to traditional models have led to the creation of new technologies\u2014such as decentralized identity\u2014which have the potential to alter the industry\u2019s paradigm further. With more and more of our work and even our personal lives happening in the digital space, this innovation shows no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n
With increasing competition from these new, digitally-agile, financial technology firms\u2014capable of setting up customers in seconds through quick, digital onboarding experiences\u2014banks and other financial service providers have been scrambling to keep pace. The variety of options for consumers and the accompanying ease of signing up has significantly lowered the cost of switching, forcing the industry to ramp up the integration of digital services.<\/p>\n
Cloud ecosystems and digital identity<\/h2>\n
This contest between traditional providers and new financial technology firms has resulted in expanding cloud ecosystems for financial services. The services that form these ecosystems are customer-centric and can offer unified value propositions that extend far beyond past financial service offerings to reduce customer costs, increase convenience, and provide new tools and services. These services are also leading to the creation of large, richly-varied pools of data that companies can use to target new offerings and services effectively.<\/p>\n
To better compete, traditional financial institutions need to enable their own digital ecosystems by integrating third-party services, improving customer onboarding, and delivering differentiated customer experiences. To do that in the cloud, they need safe and secure digital identity.<\/p>\n
