Nomura Holdings drives innovation, modernizes financial services, and enhances customer experience by leveraging AWS.
Nomura Holdings is driving digital transformation to deliver scalable and reliable solutions in response to evolving customer needs. The company has faced challenges such as operational complexity, outdated infrastructure, and increasing demand for accessible and real-time financial solutions while responding to the growing customer expectations for seamless, digital-first experiences. These challenges further highlighted the need for transformation.
In order to address these challenges, Nomura Holdings has collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize its digital infrastructure. The company successfully launched applications such as "Fintos" (an investment research app), "One-Stop" (a portfolio management app), and "Follow-Up" (a real-time update app) by utilizing AWS managed services, including Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), AWS Fargate, Amazon Aurora, and AWS Glue. These solutions enabled efficiency and innovation while providing scalability and reliability to meet customer demands.
Additionally, AWS supported Nomura Holdings' data strategy by leveraging a robust data lake, enabling advanced data collection and processing, and providing personalized financial solutions. The company also significantly expanded its investment in human resources to bridge the gap between financial expertise and digital transformation, and fostered collaboration to develop the innovative solutions. Furthermore, Nomura Holdings is promoting the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance financial advisory services and operational efficiency, and has established itself as a leader in blending human expertise with cutting-edge technology.
"By leveraging AWS, we have modernized our infrastructure and provided scalable, reliable, and innovative financial services to meet the evolving needs of our customers. ”
