Isybank will initially target the group\u2019s 4+ million customers who prefer digital channels to branches, and the aim is to gradually deploy Thought Machine\u2019s cloud-based infrastructure to service Intesa Sanpaolo\u2019s remaining nine million Italian retail clients, who will remain under the old brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, Intesa Sanpaolo is replacing its mainframe-based core technology with cloud infrastructure, investing \u20ac5bn in the bank&#8217;s digital transformation, a move that will include hiring and reskilling 4,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key element of the Intesa Sanpaolo\u2019s digital transformation is&nbsp;<strong>machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI)<\/strong>. Placing technology as a core competence of Intesa Sanpaolo\u2019s new business plan, is helping attract new people to Intesa Sanpaolo, which will continue to drive the business forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChange is the engine of our business,\u201d says Proverbio. \u201cThe level of excitement in our organisation was fantastic when the new industrial plan was published, and Carlo Messina, CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo said we are here to build the bank of the next 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intesa Sanpaolo has teamed up with Thought Machine, core banking technology firm, to launch a new digital bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1290,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-other","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
