Cloud Computing Matures for Financial Institutions

The question facing financial institutions is not as much whether to adopt cloud—but how to do so in a way that aligns with long-term strategic priorities. Institutions that embrace cloud as a foundational enabler will be better positioned to:

• Launch new products faster
• Integrate emerging technologies seamlessly
• Respond to regulatory change with agility
• Deliver differentiated client experiences
• Build resilient, future-ready infrastructure

This is not a technology upgrade—it’s a leadership decision. The institutions that lead the next era of financial services will be those that reimagine infrastructure not as a constraint, but as a catalyst, which brings us to AWS and Nasdaq’s recent strategic announcement.

As an integrated, front-to-back capital markets and treasury solution, Nasdaq Calypso offers a cloud-enabled cross-asset platform that simplifies operations, manages risk and quickens time to market. The CapCloud managed services model can provide further advantages that enable institutions to accelerate their modernization journeys and securely transition critical workflows to scalable, resilient and agile cloud infrastructure backed by AWS.

Deployed on AWS’s secure and scalable cloud foundation, Nasdaq CapCloud supports high-volume and mission-critical workloads —ensuring resilience and continuity for capital markets and banking institutions. This partnership expands Nasdaq’s ability to deliver trusted infrastructure at scale, transforming the financial fabric into a globally distributed, cloud-enabled ecosystem that supports modernization and growth without disruption, ultimately helping to transform capital markets.

The cloud-based architecture allows firms to scale their capital markets and treasury business seamlessly, adapting to changing market demands without intensive capital outlays. Importantly, CapCloud clients benefit from a resilient environment in which to develop, experiment and test emerging technologies. And with centralized data management capabilities, Nasdaq Calypso enables firms to harness vast amounts of data efficiently. This empowers organizations to derive actionable insights, enhancing decision-making processes and identifying new revenue opportunities.
