We have been focusing on creating differentiated offerings leveraging capabilities on Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services and Microsoft Azure AI. We are partnering with major financial services enterprises to build innovative and experience-rich solutions leveraging Microsoft Power Platform, that are amplifying the banking experience.
