Big tech is transforming every aspect of our world. But how, and at what cost? This season of Land of the Giants – The Disney Dilemma – focuses on Disney’s ability to weather the ups and downs of the business cycle and changing tastes and explores what has kept it successful for over 100 years. The entertainment giant has leveraged nostalgia and its intellectual property to build a beloved brand, but after an acquisition spree that included Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox, can it sus ...

It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival. Necessity sparked innovation and customers are enjoying more flexibility and conveni ...

Fixing the Core: Why Legacy Banking Infrastructure Can’t Be Patched
Manage episode 491802948 series 3333728

The core of banking is broken, and duct-taping legacy systems won’t fix it.
This week on Couchonomics with Arjun, I’m joined by Myles Bertrand, CEO of Tuum, the modular core banking platform built in Estonia and now scaling across Europe and the GCC.
Tuum isn’t selling digital lipstick. They’re rebuilding the real plumbing of modern banking — one composable, cloud-native layer at a time.
💡 In this episode:
- Why full core replacement is a myth — and composability is the real unlock
- How to modernize without breaking everything (or everyone)
- What it takes to scale infra platforms into the GCC
- Where AI fits in — and where it doesn’t
- Why institutional banking might be the biggest opportunity for transformation
If you’re in banking, infra, SaaS, or scaling into MENA, this episode is required listening.
