113 FINANCIAL SERVICES We asked a selection of Microsoft partners how they are using Microsoft’s cloud, AI and other technologies to help banks and insurance firms modernise their core systems, improve existing services, and deliver better customer and employee experiences Partner perspectives “In an increasingly fast-paced digital world with people seeking human connections, banks must focus on building and nurturing personal connections with customers and employees for sustainable growth. Employee success is a primary driver of differentiated customer experience (CX) that, in turn, helps to build brand loyalty. It is imperative for banks to empower employees with AI and data-driven insights, as well as enhance productivity with automation and virtual agents, and focus on well-being. Infosys amplifies employee and customer experience with its suite of banking solutions built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Viva for employee empowerment and well-being.” “Banks are under enormous pressure to reduce costs whilst continuing to improve customer experiences. Finastra Payments to Go is a cloud-based, scalable software-as-a-service solution that streamlines operations through digitalisation and gives banks the flexibility to adapt quickly to customer, industry and regulatory demands.
