Creating an Omnichannel Customer ExperienceCSI Solutions
Customer expectations of banks increases every day. Omnichannel banking gives the bank an opportunity to meet the customer demands and deliver a seamless customer experience. This allows the bank to build long-term, loyal and profitable relationships. Learn what the industry trends are for Omnichannel banking and where the banking industry is going with Omnichannel 2.0.
This analysis provides an overview of the top trends in the retail banking sector driven by the competition, digital transformation, and innovation led by retail banks exploring novel ways to create and retain value in evolving landscape.
COVID-19 caught banks off guard and shook legacy mindsets to the core. With 20/20 (2020) hindsight, firms are more aware, digitally resilient, and financially stable as they head into 2022. The trials of the past 18 months forced firms to shore up existing business and consider new models and revenue streams.
Customer-centricity remains at the top of most FS agendas and is a 2022 focal point. Banks will focus on achieving operational excellence as diligently as delivering superior CX. In 2022 and beyond, it will be paramount for FIs to explore and invest in new technologies to remain relevant and resilient.
Banking 4.X will arrive in full force in 2022 with platform-supported firms monetizing diverse ecosystem capabilities and aggressively harvesting data to create experiential customer journeys through intelligent and personalized engagements. The new era will compel future-focused banks to finally abandon legacy infrastructure and collaborate with third-party specialists to solidify their best-fit, long-term roles. Increasingly, open platforms will make banks invisible as banking becomes embedded into customer lifestyles. At the same time, banks will shed asset-heavy models and shift to the cloud for greater agility, speed to market, and faster innovation. The shift will act as a precursor to adopting new technologies on the horizon – 5G and Decentralized Finance.
The recent past was filled will extraordinary lessons for financial institutions. Now is the time to act on those learnings and move forward profitably.
A combination of factors − the pandemic, catastrophic weather events, evolving policyholder expectations, and insurers’ drive for operational efficiency and future relevance − are sparking P&C industry changes.
In a post-COVID, new-normal environment, the most strategic insurers are building resilient, crisis-proof enterprises poised to take advantage of emerging and future business opportunities. They are leveraging advanced data analytics and novel technologies to assure agility and achieve positive revenue and customer satisfaction outcomes. Competitive advantage will hinge on accelerated digitalization and faster go-to-market. Therefore, win-win partnerships and embedded services with InsurTechs and other ecosystem players are critical.

Top trends in Payments: 2020 highlighted the payments industry’s flux driven by new trends in technology adoption, innovative solutions, and changing consumer behavior. The pandemic has tested the digital mastery of players, who are already grappling with transition. Non-cash transactions are on a robust growth path, accelerated by increased adoption during COVID-19. Regulators are working to instill trust and address non-cash payments risk amid unparalleled growth as players collaborate to quell uncertainty. Regional initiatives, such as the P27 (Nordics real-time payments system) and the EPI (European Payments Initiative), are gaining traction in response to country-level fragmentation and competition.
Investment in emerging technologies is looked upon as an elixir to mitigate fraud, data-driven offerings are being considered for providing value-added propositions, and distributed ledger technology is in focus for digital currency solutions, efficiency enhancement, and cost gains.

Here we have synthesized four important trends in mobile for 2016:
1.) Mobile Screens Are Now The Primary Screens
2.) Retail Shifts to Mobile
3.) Internet of Things (IoT) Is A Mobile Sales Bonanza
4.) Ad-Blocking Moves to Mobile

The Disrupted Future of Banking - How Tech Will Disrupt, Destroy, or Reinvent...ramezn
Digital technology is disrupting industry after industry. The price of computing, data storage, communication, and coordination continues to plummet. Artificial Intelligence, sharing networks, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and digitization of old analogue processes are revolutionizing huge swaths of the economy. It's these trends that are radically changing the needs and behaviors of banking customers AND it's these trends that are now forcing the banking industry to revolutionize.
Banks must disrupt themselves or be disrupted.
Every year we look at the big mobile trends for the upcoming year and share practical recommendations on how to become a mobile leader. This presentation focuses on the 10 trends that will impact your organization in 2016.
This presentation examines trends and innovations in financial services (focusing on banking, insurance, credit cards).
In the last few years, the financial services industry has undergone a digital evolution. Now, it is time for a digital revolution, due to growing disruptive "Fintech" start ups and their innovative models.
SOA, service-oriented architectures, burst on the scene in the new millennium as the latest technology to support application growth. In concert with the Web, SOA ushered in new paradigms for structuring enterprise applications.
At the Forward Internet Group in London, we are implementing SOA in unusual ways. Rather than a few, businessrelated services being implemented per the original vision, we have developed systems made of myriads of very small, usually shortlived services.
In this workshop, we will start by exploring the evolution of SOA implementations by the speaker. In particular, lessons learned from each implementation will be discussed, and reapplication of these lessons on the next implementation. Challenges (and even failures) will be explicitly identified.
We will arrive at a model of the current systems: An environment of very small services that are loosely coupled into a complex system. We explore the demise of acceptance tests in this complex environment, and the clever replacement of business metrics in their stead.
Finally, we will conclude with the surprising programmer development process impacts of this architecture. Indeed, bedrock principles of Agile have been rendered unnecessary, something that equally surprised us. (Presented at Agile India 2013)

2015 saw financial institutions continue their shift toward a mobile-centric approach, as this channel quickly becomes the primary means of interaction between consumers and firms. According to a March 2015 report from the Federal Reserve, 35% of mobile phone users with a bank account used mobile banking in 2014, up 150% from 2010. Financial services firms continued to improve and refine their smartphone capabilities, and have begun to capitalize on new and exciting devices such as wearables. Traditional, established players are also taking inspiration from fintech firms and bitcoin wallet providers to provide a better experience to their clients.
In December 2014, we published our year-end review of interesting and noteworthy mobile finance trends that had occurred that year. Now, at the start of 2016, we take at look at how those trends have advanced and highlight some new developments that have emerged.
Challenges for the Future of Retail BankingDesignit
Digital transformation in retail banking is a thriving and complex phenomenon. We at Designit try to make sense of it by identifying leading trends in three deeply interdependent categories: new enabling technologies, new customer expectations, and new strategic trends. The future holds uncertainty and promise, but some immediate actions are patently necessary for banks that want to stay relevant in an increasingly dynamic scenario.
Banking Disruption in Financial Services: Threats and OpportunitiesDogTelligent
There are three forces shaping the future of banking. Technology innovation is the first. For most traditional financial institutions -- banks and credit unions -- technology innovation is a weakness; instead, they rely on third-party firms ranging from established core providers to startups to provide them with a mix of products that they repackage and resell to their customers. Demographics is the second force. Millennials now account for 25% of the US population with 80 million and growing. The third force is the emergence of new business models on the one hand driven by Millennial demand and communication preferences, and on the other, enabled by new technologies as they are invented.
The report examines data from multiple sources and suggests potential defenses for institutions to fend off competitive threats from technology, retail, and telecom firms that are gaining traction in the payments and banking arenas.
Consumers demand brands that are always open and always available. Integrating mobile communications into your marketing mix gives customers a brand they can connect with anytime, any place. By fully embracing mobile, your brand can:
- Drive a constant dialogue
- Create effective cross-channel program management
- Deliver new customer connection opportunities
- Extend existing relationships
In this presentation, we look at this issue, the steps the banking community need to get right to engage with modern consumers and how to develop powerful mobile—based propositions that people actually want to use.
Mobile Wars: Fintech vs. Banks... and Big Tech in AmbushKatia Bazzocchi
Pure mobile banks gain users daily, as they benefit from accessible smartphone technology. Millenials are the principal users of mobile banks, and will soon be followed by Generation Z. As consumer expectations continue to be shaped by new technology and innovative consumer affairs, a full mobile strategy is key for traditional banks to maintain market share.
Mobile Goes Mainstreet: Consumers Lead the Way — Key Trends and Investment Op...Linda Gridley
The number of smartphone users in the U.S. is consistently growing and the connected user is turning to mobile more and more frequently for everyday consumption. Global mobile data traffic is predicted to increase 26-fold between 2010 and 2015. Smartphone and tablet revenues overtook traditional desktop and laptop revenues in 2013. At the same time, the amount of time users are spending on mobile daily is increasing. Mobile commerce sales are reaching all-time highs, and now represent 12% of total digital commerce, while mobile traffic represent about 40% for major eCommerce retailers such as Amazon, eBay, Apple, and Walmart.
The mobile industry was unquestionably the most important growth channel across digital media. Some of the most important trends we’ve seen in the sector include:
Average mobile (plus tablet) time spend now equal to desktop
Mobile is no longer just for gaming. Growing number
of use cases and apps hitting mass adoption— utilities, productivity,shopping, media & entertainment
Total mobile ad revenue grew twofold in 2013, and still only represents 2% of total ad spend but 12% of total media time spend
Strong M&A and funding environment – First $1bn M&A deal in mobile. Q3’13 was record quarter for mobile
Digital media leaders such as Facebook and Twitter realigned their organizations to mobile over the past two years and now see 40% plus of their revenue from the mobile channel
The evolution of mobile as the next computing platform is just beginning to take shape, bringing new billion market opportunities to the digital media ecosystem. We believe it is still early in this evolution and expect to see new technologies and innovative applications to fuel continued growth over the next five years.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
