This is a key strategic initiative which AXA is taking on for two key reasons . “ One is that we want to modernise and update our technology infrastructure ,” says Shah . “ The second is that we really want to exploit new technology innovation – such as artificial intelligence ( AI ), chatbots and image recognition – which we wouldn ’ t be able to do with our existing systems and processes .”
For Shah , and for AXA , a key feature of cloud technology is the speed at which it allows an organisation to innovate . “ It gives us business agility , flexibility and speed to market which is much harder in traditional IT methods . In addition , the cloud enables the collaboration that is so key to a global business .
