The Connection Between Digital And Data Explained

Simba Technology Ltd and Centelon Solutions recently held an industry event on “Digital Data”. The event was a learning and networking platform bringing together industry thought leaders, key stakeholders, and innovators from the BFSI sector.

The event presented an exciting opportunity for industry stalwarts to network and have insightful discussions around digital and data in the post-pandemic scenario in BFSI.

A shift in technology

Institutions need to transition from legacy systems into the new age of digital processes. The approach, however, needs to be made through custom integrations with external systems, time-saving processes, maintenance and security. Financial institutions should develop systems that can optimize both physical and digital channels to enhance their customers’ experiences.

Prakash Somaiya, the Director and Business Head for Asia and MEA, highlights that in the current world, Digital and Data are so closely interconnected that it becomes impossible to talk about one without mentioning the other. Thus, this interlinking was the driving force behind the theme of ‘Decoding Digital and Data”.

As the evening progressed, the big question was, why focus on data? Mamta Jatania, Managing Director of Simba Technology Ltd answered in her speech.

“Part of being innovative means being aware of what is trending and responding accordingly …”

She further emphasized how the future is about leveraging data the right way, be it data protection, governance or privacy – “It’s always about Data. Due to tectonic shifts happening around technologies and business paradigms evolving in very short periods, the question we must ask is, are we ready to decode data and digital capabilities?”
