Recently had a great conversation with #google about our #cloud journey @ #SEB, along with some of the leaders of our journey William Milisic, Isac Andersson, Petra Alund, Nicolas Moch and Martina Wallenberg! You’ll see some great quotes from them, and some cheesy ones from yours truly.

As we all stand on shoulders of giants, it’s worth mentioning we definitely wouldn’t have made it this far without the original core team who dared the feat! Jonas Varfors, Kristina Westman, @Samuel Mörling, Tonni Hult, Jens Hörnström & Katarina Jurkovic.

Just because I can, I post my main quoutes straight up here also:

Every organization will have people who are happy with the way things were, so there’s always the risk of losing people when you change things. But you have to trust in people if you want to empower them, giving them greater responsibility as well as the tools they need. If you want someone to build your house, you don’t just give them a screwdriver, you give them everything they need to do the job properly. For us, that is what Google Cloud provides.

It can be easy to feel like, ‘can’t we just go faster?’. But if you’re not including security and compliance considerations, you’re not making progress or gaining anything. You need a holistic approach that takes the bigger picture into consideration. We owe that level of responsibility to our customers and, as a financial institution, to society as a whole."

Google Cloud is built to address the silo issue. It’s an integrated experience that provides a base layer upon which everything else can be built. We have a centralized overview, and individuals can work together seamlessly. Compared to our traditional IT setup, that’s a real game-changer.

Happy reading!
