IT Banking & Finance Solutions | Digital Transformation and Integration

The digital transformation era continues to drive change in the banking and financial services (BFS) industry, with frequent new regulatory requirements, growing cybersecurity risks and the evolving expectations of customer experience. Open Banking, for instance, driven by regulation is also an opportunity to improve customer experience creating new possibilities with an interconnected banking ecosystem. Aside from the opportunities this creates, it is a threat to digitally slow moving organisations who can lose market share to competition and the rise of the highly agile fintech sector.

Digital Challenges / Opportunities in Banking and Finance

Whilst all banking and finance organisations are unique, there are many common themes in terms of the technical challenges they face which are currently disrupting this sector. In this section we’ll provide a high level view of some of the most common ones.

Open Banking

Open Banking is a standard to improve the way customer data is structured, shared and accessed, bringing more empowerment, transparency and a range of benefits and protections to customers. APIs are the heart of delivering this standard which are triggering an innovation revolution in the financial sector.

Blockchain

Blockchain technology is the perfect ally when it comes to solving problems of risk management, fraud detection, scalability, privacy and trust in data security.

It allows customers an autonomous traceability of payments and collections, in addition to increasing the efficiency of banks in many of their processes.

Digital Customer Journey

Making your customers’ Customer Journey 100% digital is one of the main challenges for any BFS institution. Our customers expect a seamless omnichannel experience, with speed, ease of use, capability and convenience central to their demands. Our systems and data must be organised, understood and consistent in real-time as a bedrock of any customer journey.

Cybersecurity

As our expectations around the digital customer journey continue to rise, alongside the aforementioned speed, ease of use, capability and convenience, so too does the need to protect the customer and the business from hackers and fraud. To ensure the confidentiality and integrity of customer data, greater attention must be paid to our approach to developing software, APIs, infrastructures, identity management and cybersecurity measures.

Cloud Computing / Cloud Banking

Cloud banking is a growing trend in banks and financial institutions. It consists of storing all the data handled by these entities in the cloud, through the creation of multi-cloud environments that improve the management of services and the processing of information.

Big Data

Big Data is the ability to analyze and store information in real time, allowing you to know your customers better and be able to develop a more personalized offer of products and services. Its proper use together with Artificial Intelligence will allow banks and finance companies to be at the forefront of Fintech and gain a competitive advantage over their competitors.

Dedicated Solutions

Whilst many technologies can be considered horizontally appropriate regardless of your industry, it is also worth exploring the advantages of specific solutions that have been designed specifically to meet the needs of the Banking and Finance sector.
