Financial institutions are increasingly seeking ways to drive software innovation more sustainably without relying on large, upfront investments or waiting years to realize value. They are shifting towards a model that emphasizes continuous improvement and delivers measurable, near-term gains.

GenAI supports this transition by enabling immediate efficiencies and cost reductions across technology delivery lifecycle from end-to-end, from requirements gathering through to designing, building, and testing, shortening time-to-value and reducing the cost of change. These savings can then be reinvested into innovation initiatives without substantial new capital commitments – creating a self-funding cycle of continuous improvement.
