Lost in [ISO 20022] Translation

Many banks are adopting translation services for their ISO 20022 migration, but what are the longer-term considerations for these solutions?

We are well down the road of the ISO 20022 implementation across the entire global financial services industry. If you are one of the many banks that has decided to adopt or is close to adopting translation services, this series is for you.

In this short 4-episode series, our experts share some tips and lessons learned using translation services to best execute your ISO 20022 migration, and help you avoid being blindsided by potential pitfalls.

The episodes were broadcasted live every Thursday throughout September. During a short and sharp 15-minute chat, we discuss the ins and outs of a translation services strategy, data truncation, hybrid strategy migrations, ecosystem impact, ISO 20022 long-term opportunities and more.
