Karen Mae Ching, Global Financial Services Partner Sales Program Lead at AWS, sits down with Doug Mackenzie to talk about the benefits of embedding vs plug & play systems for cloud banking in smaller institutions.

“It all boils down to what we call open finance or open banking, that’s different API’s that you put together. I call them lego bricks you put together. It becomes a Rubik’s Cube and when it becomes a Rubik’s Cube again, that’s when you know that this system you can switch it off, innovate, and then switch it on again and go.”

“So again, take a look at what is that critical function that you would like to touch upon to really improve your obsessions. Then, we have a process of working backwards from the customer. What are those business drivers? We align it together similar to what I said earlier. You need to understand. What is that? How do we get from point A to point B?”
