ANZ Bank and the false cloud narrative
Although ANZ Bank chief information officer Anne Weatherston last week made a number of quite substantial statements in a wide-ranging speech about technological change in the financial services sector, for many writers who listened in it was just one comment which the executive made which stood out.
And the headlines reflected that fact.
“ANZ Bank CIO still wary of cloud,” screamed ZDNet.com.au. “Cloud not suited to ANZ Bank: Weatherston,” echoed CIO. iTWire put a timeline on Weatherston’s view of the new technologies: “Another five years for bank clouds: ANZ” and although Finextra didn’t attend, the publication still found room for its own version: “ANZ CIO cool on the cloud“. Even publications such as the AustralianIT, which took a more nuanced version of Weatherston’s speech, still gave the cloud comments quite an airing.
Cloud, cloud, cloud. It’s a topic with which Australia’s IT industry is currently obsessed with, and for good reason. The clutch of relatively familiar technologies which have been relabelled and integrated into the new cloud reality have mostly been around for years, but have only recently found the true acceptance with customers that they’ve been seeking for most of that period.
