The urgency created by recent events acted as a catalyst for more customers than ever to use digital channels to engage with their banks and insurers as well as a need for internal teams, working within these types of organisations, to collaborate remotely. This in addition to the fact that in recent years, the Financial Services market has been undergoing significant transformation, driven by the now familiar forces of new ‘born in the cloud’ market entrants, customer demand and increased regulation.
