Chief Wine Officer, Cockroach Labs, AWS & PwC invite you to an evening of fine wine tasting, exclusive networking, and invaluable insights. Alongside your senior peers, you’ll meet expert speakers from the comfort of your home, as we discuss innovative methods for designing and deploying payment systems that meet modern requirements of speed, scale, and resilience. Forward-thinking organisations are deploying global payments systems in hybrid-cloud whilst meeting data sovereignty laws and minimising concentration risk. While you learn how to do the same, you’ll also enjoy an unforgettable guided wine tasting from one of only 418 Masters of Wine in the world. Can we book you a spot?
The new ISO20022 messaging standard, and an increasingly cashless society all present a huge growth opportunity for financial services. But how can you secure the edge over your competition? Market leaders are winning with proactive progress by developing and deploying payment apps that are highly available, scalable, and capable of handling millions of queries per second. It’s time for you to do the same.
Key discussion points
- Tackling the challenge of storing and managing vast amounts of payments data as your business scales, without compromising application performance
- The importance of consistency and correctness in handling payments
- Understanding the unforgiving nature of customers and regulators when it comes to money
- The crucial role of availability in preventing revenue loss, as even minimal downtime can have a significant impact at scale
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 12 applications, architecture, and development leaders from financial services organisations in the UK. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director – but places are filling fast, so book yours today.
