3 THE ACCENTURE CLOUD INNOVATION CENTER FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES In a world of escalating regulatory requirements, expanding competitive pressures and greater shareholder demands, the cloud looms large. As a powerful business asset, the cloud can help financial services firms deliver outstanding customer service while redirecting valuable resources to the core businesses. The cloud can help firms reduce capital expenditures, decreasing the total cost of ownership by standardizing core functionalities and IT infrastructure while creating top line growth through new services, whether developed in house in a more agile manner or in cooperation with other firms. And yet, for many financial services firms, investments in cloud technology have not delivered the desired results and benefits. As a globally acknowledged leader in technology and consulting services to the financial services industry, Accenture works closely with leading cloud providers and numerous cloud technology vendors. We have seen that a winning cloud approach is built on a computing stack that combines the capabilities and scale of big, proven providers with the agility of small innovative tech firms. Such an approach can help strengthen global cloud resources and knowledge, emerging technologies developed by FinTechs, open source container platforms, and the Industrial Internet of Things. Accenture has built in cooperation with our cloud ecosystem alliances a hybrid multi-cloud landscape that addresses many of the typical use cases challenging the financial services industry. This is the Accenture Cloud Innovation Center for Financial Services. The Accenture Cloud Innovation Center helps client firms imagine, develop, test and implement at scale innovative cloud solutions that meet their specific business needs by offering them the opportunity to: Attend cloud use case demonstrations specifically targeting the financial services industry, and obtain assessments of related cloud solutions and their applicability to their situation. Access a greenfield setting for the co-creation, rapid prototyping and testing of a cloud-based solution that addresses their needs. This is done by using Accenture s Design Thinking methodology, in direct interaction with Accenture s specialists and cloud vendors. Conduct integration tests with their own application landscape and package solutions for a scaled implementation at speed in their business operation. This approach gives client firms the ability to meet feasibility, security, and regulatory requirements and to conduct integration testing upfront, ahead of major investments and commitments. The Cloud Innovation Center can provide IT organizations and business departments the agility needed to rapidly adopt innovations in a more informed and costeffective way. 3

5 DELIVER RAPIDLY ON THE PROMISE OF THE CLOUD The combination of our hybrid multi-cloud platform and Design Thinking methodology allows for much quicker design/implementation cycles than traditional approaches. INCUBATION PROJECTS 6 TO 8 WEEKS Co-Creation Workshops Rapid problem statement definition using Design Thinking methodology and use case development. Allow for the quick development of technical blueprints. VALUE TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS 3 TO 12 MONTHS Cloud Blueprint Development Through our broad ecosystem alliances and developed solutions, we help validate business use cases including the proper identification of best fit app candidates for using a cloud native solution. Firms can benefit instantly from using developed and prototyped solutions. Firms can quickly pilot developed blueprints in their business operations. Allow for faster go-live and expansion of developed solution(s). TRANSFORMATION ++ PROJECTS 12+ MONTHS Scale Up Can help dramatically reduce footprint of legacy technology. With new architectures, firms can evolve their customer services capabilities and solutions. Can help rebalance IT budget (run & change) by lowering run cost through cloud transformation. Implement multi-cloud management capabilities for end-to-end business transactions, spread applications and for data security and connectivity.
