The panel

• Obaid Dehlavi, Executive director, Numerix
• Moderator: Phil Harding, Global head of commercial content, Risk.net

Cloud adoption has accelerated rapidly among capital markets participants in recent years. Banks are deploying cloud for a greater array of trading and risk applications, experimenting with artificial intelligence and machine learning, and processing vast volumes of data. Likewise, buy-side firms have ramped up their use of cloud to drive real-time market data insight, risk analytics and portfolio management.

But, with the technology, options and use cases expanding, the complexity and costs can quickly spiral. This Risk.net webinar explores how firms can optimise their usage of cloud, driving greater efficiency, avoiding common pitfalls and keeping costs to a minimum.

This exclusive session will include expert insight on:

• Practical challenges of working in the cloud
• Lift and shift (infrastructure-as-a-service/platform-as-a-service)
• Adoption of evolving cloud services and native components
• Managing scale: more calculations, more analytics, quicker response time
• Case studies
• X-value adjustment/everything-as-a-service
• 600 million calculations: from 97 hours to 18 minutes
• Lessons learnt, pitfalls and mitigation steps

The webinar is essential viewing for risk and technology leaders looking to maximise opportunity and gain value from their use of cloud.
