BMO
Cloud is the enabler of this data sharing and therefore forms a key part of BMO ’ s data infrastructure . Sahota will continue to focus on delivering this technology further as the backbone of its ecosystem .
How will the company achieve its goals ? Well , partnerships in alignment with the bank will play a key role . Sahota notes the great work taking place with experts in key areas of its digital transformation . BMO is already well established with AWS and Microsoft Azure as major partners for a number of digital functions and developing knowledge within the team to better leverage new and evolving systems .
These solutions will also develop thanks to Vector Institute , an organisation BMO sponsors and a crucial one for delivering more advanced data sciences – Dataiku also being a key partner in this area .
Referring back to automation , Sahota also praises UiPath as its chosen partner for robotic process automation ( RPA ), which the company has worked with tirelessly to optimise products within the BMO ecosystem .
All in all , the work for Sahota and the wider data and analytics teams at BMO never stops and the seamless conversion of Bank of the West in its established ecosystem proves that the bank has a solid digital foundation that continues to grow .
