Improve Sustainability with Better Data Visibility Continued Traditional, centralised IT architectures are obstructing improvements. To support the development of greener products and services, retail banks need the ability to collect data on customer behaviour and preferences. As well as this, banks must ensure that they are being more sustainable within their own operations and need the ability to gather data from across the organisation to support sustainability reporting and greater transparency. However, centralised IT results in data silos, preventing the visibility and sharing of real time business information. Legacy IT systems rely on older data centres that are often associated with higher carbon footprints—making it difficult or impossible to meet the sustainability demands of different stakeholders.
