About this session
As AI and agentic technologies reshape banking and financial services, institutions face increasingly complex decisions across their legacy application estates. What should be retained, renovated, or replaced? Where will modernization create the greatest value? And how can institutions move forward without compromising resilience or business continuity?
Join NTT DATA’s modernization leaders for an interactive workshop exploring three critical decision points: Assess & Strategize, Prepare & Platform, and Deploy & Cut Over.
The discussion will examine how institutions can better understand their existing systems, prioritize modernization investments, address security, governance and platform-readiness gaps, and manage transition risks while protecting business continuity.
Participants will gain practical frameworks and a modernization toolkit covering portfolio prioritization, risk and readiness assessment, safe cutover planning, and the development of a 90-day modernization action plan.
