The Core Challenge

Swiss financial institutions are entering a new phase of digital transformation. The question is no longer whether to move to the cloud, but how to translate that move into lasting business value. 

As modernization accelerates, leaders must balance regulatory expectations with the drive for innovation and agility. This exclusive roundtable brings together senior IT, transformation, and business leaders to discuss how to turn cloud transformation into a measurable impact from enhanced efficiency and scalability to continuous innovation.  

 

 

What You’ll Learn

 

1

Cloud Transformation in Regulated Industries

Discover how leading Swiss financial institutions are shifting from infrastructure-heavy environments to agile, service-based cloud models. Learn how to align modernization with cost efficiency and resilience and hear from industry peers like Lombard Odier on how they’ve successfully executed SaaS and cloud transitions — all while staying within the guardrails of FINMA’s regulatory framework. 

2

Data Residency & Compliance

Data residency and compliance remain essential pillars of any transformation journey. We’ll explore how Swiss organizations are adapting to evolving regulatory expectations that shape strategic decisions on technology adoption and vendor selection. The discussion will also highlight how Atlassian and AWS continue to expand their regional capabilities to enable secure, compliant, and scalable environments that meet the needs of regulated industries. 

3

Executing a Secure Migration

Move beyond strategy into execution. Explore how Atlassian and Valiantys partner to deliver compliant, low-risk migrations in complex, regulated environments. Learn how to plan phased rollouts, manage change, and ensure stakeholder alignment — enabling your teams to migrate securely and efficiently.

Beyond Cloud Adoption: Unlocking Transformation and AI Value

Cloud migration is just the starting point. We’ll explore how organizations can drive transformation beyond adoption through process optimization and intelligent use of AI. Learn how to turn technology modernization into strategic advantage, enhancing productivity, collaboration, and innovation while maintaining compliance and control.
