Indian private sector lender HDFC Bank has turned to Microsoft for the next phase of its digital transformation. 

As part of its future-ready strategy, the bank is developing in-house intellectual properties (IPs) and partnering with several businesses including fintechs to co-create technology IPs.

HDFC Bank plans to use Microsoft’s Azure to consolidate and modernise its enterprise data landscape through a Federated Data Lake.

The move is aimed at scaling the bank’s information management capabilities across enterprise reporting, and advanced analytics through artificial intelligence. 

The solution, which will be built on the Microsoft Azure stack, will allow the bank to democratise and monetise its data landscape.

Powered by a deep learning ecosystem built on AI/ML, uniform architecture and security, the solution will serve several business units and spans numerous systems, reports, and processes.
