Featured Discussions

As Malaysia’s financial institutions enter 2027, what should IT leaders protect at all costs and what should they be willing to redesign?

  • Which parts of the BFSI technology estate in Malaysia are now too critical to delay, and which are too outdated to defend?
  • How should IT leaders balance continuity, customer expectations, regulatory discipline, and speed in 2027?
  • What does “future-ready” actually mean for a Malaysian financial institution operating across conventional and Islamic finance contexts?
  • Which technology decisions made in late 2026 will most strongly define institutional readiness in 2027?

If 2027 is the year AI moves into real financial operations, what must Malaysia’s BFSI IT leaders get right before they scale it?

  • Which internal blockers matter most in Malaysian BFSI right now: fragmented data, weak model governance, low process readiness, or unclear ownership?
  • Where should AI be scaled first in 2027 inside financial institutions: operations, service, compliance support, risk workflows, or productivity?
  • How should IT leaders design AI programs that are auditable, explainable, and operationally safe?
  • What will distinguish serious AI operating models from another year of disconnected experimentation?

How far should Malaysia’s BFSI institutions push core and cloud modernization in 2027 without creating a more fragile operating environment?

  • Which modernization decisions in 2027 will create the most enterprise value: core systems renewal, application rationalization, platform re- architecture, or infrastructure simplification?
  • How should IT leaders decide what should be modernized, what should be contained, and what should be retired?
  • Where does complexity now come from most in BFSI estates: integration layers, duplicated platforms, legacy cores, or fragmented controls?
  • What should a 2027 modernization path look like when uptime, compliance, and customer experience all carry equal weight?

Will 2027 be the year data governance becomes a strategic operating capability in Malaysia’s BFSI sector not just a compliance mechanism?

  • What data weaknesses are most likely to slow 2027 priorities across AI, risk, service, and reporting?
  • How should IT leaders treat governance differently if they want it to enable faster decisions rather than delayed approvals?
  • What should “good enough to scale” look like for data quality, lineage, ownership, and access in 2027?
  • How should technology, risk, and business teams work differently next year if governance is meant to support transformation?

What should resilience mean for Malaysia’s BFSI IT leaders in 2027 when outages, cyber threats, third parties, and customer expectations are colliding?

  • How should resilience be redefined beyond cyber defense and disaster recovery?
  • Which dependencies are becoming most dangerous in 2027: third parties, cloud concentration, aging applications, or fragmented operations?
  • How should IT leaders test whether resilience is actually embedded in transformation plans instead of documented beside them?
  • What should boards be asking technology leaders next year that they may not be asking today?

As 2027 budgets are finalized, where should Malaysia’s BFSI CIOs place the next ringgit to improve performance without weakening control?

  • Which investment areas should take priority in 2027: core modernization, data foundations, AI enablement, resilience, or workflow redesign?
  • How should CIOs distinguish “strategic” investment from expensive carryover programs that no longer justify their share of the budget?
  • Where should institutions expect near-term value versus longer-cycle structural benefit?
  • How should technology leaders defend multiyear priorities in front of business and board stakeholders in 2027?

What will define a high-performing BFSI technology function in Malaysia by the end of 2027: faster delivery, stronger control, cleaner architecture, or better business judgment?

  • Which capabilities will distinguish stronger IT organizations in Malaysian BFSI next year?
  • How should leadership teams rethink the relationship between architecture, delivery, security, data, and operations?
  • What should IT leaders stop measuring if they want a better view of transformation success in 2027?
  • What will “good” actually look like by year-end 2027 for a financial institution that wants both innovation and trust?

Testimonials

I enjoyed the event and found the delegate profiles and presentations very informative. I had productive conversations with potential customers and prospects, and I believe we will generate a decent list of leads for our company. The venue, food, and crowd were all excellent, and I had many interesting conversations and gained a lot of knowledge. We will definitely consider sponsoring DTS in the future.
I had really good conversations today with the number of delegates coming from the region and other places. Quite likely we we will consider it for the next year or your next city. The overall conversations were really good probably some of the really interesting conversations in change management and practical side of it and were really interesting.
I would rate the event a 9 or 10 out of 10. It was well put together and we received fantastic feedback and had high-quality conversations with delegates. It has been one of the best events we have participated in, with a good return on investment and leads generated. The audience was perfect and their interactions and participation in the event were excellent. The panel discussion was also very informative and useful for my presentation.
My overall experience was phenomenal given the quality of speakers as well as the delegates. It was a learning experience, meeting people from varied backgrounds and experience who are stalwarts and luminaries in their field. I see a lot of value identifying the challenges that these organisations face where in St. Fox can address those challenges in the short and medium term.
I was really impressed by the responsiveness of the Exito employees to so many of our queries, which we answered promptly and to my satisfaction. The turnout of customers to the event was very impressive. We look forward to working with Exito in many different geographies going forward.
