Dee, maybe starting off with yourself.

Yep, sure.

So my role is CTO for Financial Services and Insurance in Atos for what we call international markets.

So we cover about 50 countries, so APAC, Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Iberia, and oddly, Switzerland.

So it's a wide range of territories.

And my role as CTO for FS&I is to support the organizations in those areas to deliver services to our clients, the client base.

I'm responsible for defining the technology strategy for those areas.

Mm

to the exec agenda this is not just a technology issue anymore and I think what's changed I think the

Well, I think, like you mentioned at the top, the short answer is the rise and proliferation of AI in our wider environment.

It's not just AI, it's agentic AI.

And essentially, that wider technology revolution that's happening around legacy systems is changing the conversation.

It's changing how we treat legacy systems now or how banks have to treat legacy systems.

So, Historically, a legacy platform would continue performing its core functions, operating as it needs to with perhaps upgrades or patches, and it would still deliver as expected.

But now that we've got AI coming into play, and it's the rise and rise and proliferation of AI on a daily basis, It means that organisations, not just banks, cannot simply stand still anymore.

What do you think?
