Sibos finger on the pulse - ramping up the back-office

The amount of attention the back office gets nowadays might mean it could easily be mistaken for the portfolio manager’s suite or the trader’s desk. Why? The increase in due diligence on back office operations by investors, especially when it comes to reconciliation processes. Investors’ knowledge of back-office operations has grown dramatically. ...

Are the clouds clearing?

Cloud models in wholesale financial services continue to get a lot of press, but fewer public references regarding value delivered, than you might expect for what many perceive as such a big game changer. In a survey we conducted with SWIFT last year, only 3% of bank respondents stated that it would have a major impact on the securities world compa...

It's all about the meaning of the data

OK, it's easy to be cynical - but if all these groups can agree consistent data definitions, and maintain these in the ISO 20022 repository, then it genuinely solves a lot of problems. The varying formats and protocols are secondary to the meaning of the underlying data, as Mike Bennett's excellent work for the EDM Council is demonstrating.

Sibos finger on the pulse - where manual trumps automation

Automation is one of the conference sessions at Sibos this year. The traditional mantra has been automation is best, but this has changed somewhat.

What I know and believe about social media.

Not much. No, seriously, really not that much. Well, that's not strictly true. I do have some beliefs and knowledge about the use of social media from a personal, professional and every day life point of view. But, you know what, I bet they are not based on experience that is longer or more nuanced than any of you. I put up a Linkedin profile arou...
