8 ways cloud banking
can boost efficiency
Fewer IT costs, better data storage and greater resilience-moving to the
cloud is no small feat, but the potential benefits to a community bank's
bottom line can be hard to ignore. We spoke to experts to get an overview
of the savings that could be in store for banks. By Katie Kuehner-Hebert
oving a community bank's
operations to the cloud can be
