Re-invention of traditional processes. Aggressive competition from tens of thousands of FINancial TECHnology companies (FinTechs). New technologies like BlockChain, Mobile Wallets and Real-Time Payment Systems. Financial services are undergoing the most radical change they’ve experienced in over 100 years as the digital disruption of the industry accelerates. At the same time, they face the rising tide of data breaches and hacks with 90% of security professionals at financial services firms concerned about their vulnerability.

You’ve heard of Cloud eXchange Providers and Internet eXchange Providers but what about Financial eXchange Providers? Banks are responding to the FinTech challenge—levelling the field by opening up their systems with APIs to allow authorized access into their banking services. This opens the door to a new era of disaggregated banking functions.
By delivering truly customized banking solutions to the customer, a personalized finance dashboard can combine services from banks, insurers, and Fintechs. These financial service aggregators will be differentiated based on:
Increased traffic across public and private networks. Varying demands on modern systems. The never-ending attempts to breach system security. Digital disruption in the financial services industry is driving new business models, enhanced ways of working, and delivering a better customer experience. Now, the network is more important than ever.
New technologies and solutions are the only way to successfully compete in this new environment. Web-scale architectures, DevOps, micro-services architecture, virtualization, and software-defined everything all have one thing in common: the need for an advanced network infrastructure that can deliver the scale, assurance, security, and flexibility.
