Upgrade legacy systems, and ensure customer data privacy and cybersecurity _

IT strategies, solutions, and support for challenges financial service firms face

Succurri-managed IT services help our financial service firm clients upgrade legacy systems, ensuring customer data privacy, management, and efficiency to achieve better productivity on their projects.

Financial services firms encounter several IT challenges, including improving legacy systems, ensuring customer data privacy, and enhancing cybersecurity. Here are the top three challenges and potential IT solutions for each:

Upgrading Legacy Systems:

Many financial services firms rely on outdated legacy systems that can be inefficient and challenging to maintain.

System Modernization: Gradually replace or upgrade legacy systems with modern, integrated financial software solutions, including core banking systems, customer relationship management (CRM) tools, and accounting software.Cloud Migration: Consider migrating to cloud-based solutions for scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. This allows for easier integration of new technology and can help streamline operations.

Customer Data Privacy:

Financial firms handle sensitive customer data, including personal and financial information. Ensuring the privacy and security of this data is crucial.

Data Encryption: Implement encryption for sensitive customer data both in transit and at rest to protect it from unauthorized access. Ensure that data stored in databases is secure. Data Privacy Policies: Develop and enforce strict data privacy policies and practices. Educate employees on data protection and compliance with relevant regulations.

Cybersecurity:

Financial services firms are prime targets for cyberattacks due to the valuable data they possess, making cybersecurity a top priority.

Robust Cybersecurity Measures: Invest in advanced cybersecurity measures, including intrusion detection systems, firewalls, multi-factor authentication, and endpoint security solutions. Regularly update and patch software to address vulnerabilities.

Employee Training: Provide cybersecurity training to employees to enhance their awareness and help prevent cyber threats. Develop an incident response plan to address and recover from cybersecurity incidents promptly.

Financial services firms may also encounter issues related to regulatory compliance, digital transformation, and evolving customer expectations. Solutions often involve a combination of technology adoption, policy development, and employee training

As a financial advisor, IT security is of the upmost importance to us. Not only does Succurri make our network secure, they also make it seemless for us to work anywhere we need to. Grant even gave a talk to our clients about personal IT security as a benefit to us, it was great!

10 BENEFITS OF MANAGED IT SERVICES

Succurri highlights the top 10 benefits of managed IT services for businesses.

The Powder of Good IT

Like other industries, the finance industry is experiencing a period of extreme fluctuation. Two of the most prominent challenges are:

Finance companies are struggling to integrate new tech systems into their IT infrastructure. Additionally, many don’t know which technologies are the best fit for their increasingly mobile employees.

Exacerbating the situation, your team now needs to have access to company data from anywhere, anytime, every time. Your files need remote access, which also means they need secure connections. And if your connections are going to be compliant, then you need better security.

As you can imagine, for small financial companies, this is a lot of change to handle all at once. So many businesses continue using legacy systems because they’ve “worked well enough so far.”

This is a dangerous position to put your business in. Today’s workforce is increasingly transient, so if you don’t have the capability to move at the speed of your salespeople, then you’re going to watch them leave. It doesn’t need to be this way though. There are powerful IT opportunities available that you should be taking advantage of! And that doesn’t just mean updating your tech. There are IT firms, like Succurri, that offer management services where expert technicians can take over and optimize your existing infrastructure. By partnering with a reputable IT firm, you can go back to focusing on what you do best and leave your IT problems to be resolved by our IT experts. What kind of finance IT problems do we solve on a daily basis? Let’s look at a few examples in the next section.

Problems

The Most Common Problems Facing The Finance Industry Today

From large banks to small banks, broker-dealers, mortgage dealers, credit unions, and financial advisors — everyone in the financial industry is facing the consequences of rapidly evolving technology. Some of the most frequent issues that clients approach us with include:

Increased vulnerability to data breaches.
Lack of in-house IT ability due to the high turnover rate within the finance industry.
Sluggish processing systems that overload quickly and can’t keep up with increasing data input.
Legacy infrastructures that are slowing productivity and are due for an update.
Increased difficulty in meeting compliance standards for security.
Difficulty syncing mobile devices and applications for an increasingly mobile workforce.

Here at Succurri, we make sure that problems like these go away on the first round and never return. How do we make that happen? By executing a fine-tuned IT process that can be summed up in our slogan: problems first, technology second. This means that we never recommend a tech system or solution until first we’ve mastered the ins and outs of your company’s IT problems. How does Succurri use this process to solve your IT troubles? Below, let’s explore some of the solutions we’ve developed!
