HOW
DO BANKS WORK?
THE STRUGGLE
TO OPTIMIZE A MOTLEY WEAVE OF
DATA SYSTEMS & INFRASTRUCTURE
Many recent
reports have come to the same overall
conclusion: Today’s banks work at a
disadvantage in large part because of their
crazy-quilt implementation of technology.
The May/June issue of BAI Banking
Strategies invited several technology
solutions providers to comment on the following
questions. In the next issue of the magazine—and
then on these pages—we’ll present
what a roundtable of banking technology leaders
have to say.
What
are your views?
What stands in the way of
financial services companies better leveraging
their technology?
You meet with countless prospects
and clients — how do you assess when
an organization is ready for more? Can a bank
have “too much technology”?
How can you help a financial
services company assess their customers’ need
for, and likelihood to adapt to, new technologies?
What responsibility do you
and your colleagues bear for helping organizations
along the technology curve?
Describe the characteristics
of a culture that’s adept at assimilating
technology (and one that’s not so adept).
If you also work in other
vertical markets, what are the differences
between how financial services companies approach
your products or services compared to your
other clients?
