From bankers to brokers, asset managers to traders, professionals in the financial services industry are accustomed to working in highly customized, onsite work environments. But as working remotely becomes a necessity in times of emergency, these professionals find themselves navigating uncharted waters with dispersed teams located at offshoot sites or from home. This creates unprecedented complexity in the day-to-day functions that are vital to the exchange of financial assets and the running of global markets.
While the industry is adopting virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for better data security and management, it needs to consider remote tools with AI capabilities on laptops, in the cloud, in servers, and in workstations to enable deep learning, data science, virtualization, and portability for dynamic working environments in these new challenging times.
