Market situation in Banking

 

Established business models of banks are under attack by fintechs in almost all areas of finance. Value creation is shifting towards new market participants. In this industry, which is already digitalised to a large extent, technological progress will continue to be the biggest thrust in the future.
Some banks are already aggressively transforming their core positioning through more efficient customer service, end-to-end process digitalisation, robotic process automation, and successive portfolio expansion.
Meanwhile, fintechs and technology companies are challenging customer interfaces of banks. Platform offers are increasingly pushing the traditional banking business into the background and their users are motivated to utilize the providers' own services.
Increasing competition is accelerated by low-cost white-label platforms with full-service banking for non-banks. 
In addition to the challenges posed by increasing competition, regulatory requirements for transparency, complexity control, risk management of market participants are rising.
Banks cannot influence technological and market developments. Institutional response to these developments, however, can indeed. Based on many years of expertise, continuous market and trend observations, and the application of proven frameworks, we can provide our clients with the best possible support in calibrating organisational and technological measures.

 

Industry Passion

 

Our methods are specifically tailored to our clients and their individual challenges. Proven technology-transformation frameworks support the above-mentioned measures. In doing so, we ensure bringing about organisational management decisions. 
The evaluation of technology and innovation potentials, organisational and cultural conditions, as well as given structures and processes form the basis for the subsequent implementation of measures. All measures are aimed at increasing response, which is a factor for success in the market.
By evaluating technical debts, reviewing IT architectures, and reviewing sourcing strategies, we support our clients in sustainable system development and strive for achieving the greatest possible success in an increasingly competitive environment.
