Commentary
The banking industry has always been an early adopter of transformation and innovation. Never before have banks had so many opportunities to embrace innovation including ASP and SaaS delivery models. Solutions now exist to meet challenges such as transforming universal banking systems; acquiring and retaining profitable customers; increasing product profitability; managing information; establishing standardized and compliant messaging infrastructures; optimizing risk on the balance sheet; and effectively utilizing capital. With the increase in regulatory oversight and legislation for anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing, banks require a solution that provides surveillance of transactions, accounts and customers across all lines of business.
