Capgemini Financial Services on AWS

Why AWS?

Financial services institutions across banking, payments, capital markets, and insurance rely on AWS for the secure, resilient, global cloud infrastructure and services they need to differentiate themselves today and adapt to the needs of tomorrow. As a result of today’s challenging business environment, these institutions are redefining their business models to modernize disparate legacy systems for improved agility and scale, meet rapidly changing consumer behaviors and expectations, drive business growth by harnessing data and innovation, and build with confidence on the most secure and resilient cloud.

AWS meets the most stringent security requirements while delivering the greatest breadth and depth of services, deepest industry expertise, and most expansive partner network. Building on AWS empowers organizations to modernize their infrastructure, meet rapidly changing consumer behaviors and expectations, and drive business growth.

Versatile tools and easy integration

Running old financial systems consumes valuable resources you would rather use for innovation. With the broadest set of migration services and tools, AWS lets you modernize legacy accounting and storage systems for improved agility and scale. Integrating AWS software into your existing financial systems is easy and enables you to maintain your business workflows with minimal technical issues. And you can add custom software modifications designed for the financial industry.

Analyzing data is crucial to the industry’s business growth and innovation. AWS facilitates effective use of data, so you can explore new ideas within a secure data lake, build quickly using a microservices-based platform, and engage partners for new products and capabilities. With AWS cloud-based technologies you can get easy, real-time access to your data across multiple geographic regions and markets.

Add custom software for the financial industry

Today’s financial-sector customers want instant access to information – from any device, at any location, at any time. Using AWS lets you meet those rapidly advancing expectations. You can offer customers easy-to-use services to track transactions and accounts and help them analyze investment data to uncover what’s important.

AWS offers the largest global footprint in the market, with dozens of Availability Zones (AZs) across more than 20 AWS Regions, so your customer services can truly be global – with more and better data for an enhanced customer experience. You can offer customers a variety of local or global payment methods, in multiple currencies and languages, plus rapid dispute resolution for failed payments.

Backed by more than 20 years of Amazon’s investment in artificial intelligence (AI), AWS offers the broadest and deepest set of machine learning (ML) and AI services for all skill levels. Your developers can create rich, personalized experiences that meet customer expectations without needing ML experience or the assistance of data scientists.

Capgemini created significant acceleration for its financial services clients by delivering more than 200 Guidewire implementations (many on AWS) and helped several banking clients with the adoption of AWS-based open banking standards (including regulatory compliance). These implementations were accomplished in months instead of years, thanks to the maturity of Capgemini’s solutions and their full-scale integration with AWS.

Build with confidence on the most secure, compliant, and resilient cloud

The financial industry is one of the most strictly regulated sectors, with strict rules concerning data privacy and reporting. With AWS, you’re able to connect directly to financial services experts who will help you ensure data integrity with the most secure infrastructure – which includes the elements you need to protect cardholder data, maintain a vulnerability management program, implement strong access-control measures, regularly monitor and test networks, and maintain an information security policy.

AWS supports 93 security standards and compliance certifications, more than any other cloud provider, and is actively acquiring more to help customers stay current (for example, PCI-DSS, SEC Rule 17a-4, Regulation SCI, EU Data Protection Directive, and FISMA). Our cloud data services safeguard the integrity of your IT infrastructure, for both customer protection and regulatory compliance. Having physical separation of data eliminates the vulnerability of a single point of attack, and our compliance security extends globally.

Capgemini’s financial services domain knowledge

Capgemini brings decades of financial services domain knowledge together with AWS-based engineering in a winning combination. The company’s unique outside-in view on the industry stems from its market-leading world reports on topics across retail banking, payments, wealth management, insurance, fintech, and insurtech. Capgemini’s well-balanced set of solutions consider the unique needs of financial services institutions, including card settlement, open banking, open insurer, first notice of loss, trade settlement, and more.

Capgemini has collaborated with AWS for years to create solutions that build on its deep financial services expertise and that leverage AWS services as a technology backbone. These solutions address their clients’ time-to-market and regulatory compliance needs and are tailored to meet the requirements of regulations such as PCI/DSS for cards, PSD2 for open banking, APRA in Australia, and many others.
