In this Cloud Wars Expo Moment, excerpted from the Industry Cloud Battleground, Workday Senior Industry Director Financial Services Jim Gahagan discusses how financial services firms are beginning to work together with financial technology companies to create an overarching ecosystem that promotes acceleration and growth, as well as the future of financial services data strategies.
Highlights

00:35 — In the next two years, the financial services industry is focusing on developing a strong ecosystem for the firms to surround themselves with, rather than viewing fintechs as disruptors.
