How Banks navigate thru the social Terra Incognita

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.

Temenos and Odyssey: geographical challenges

My first Temenos’ assignment was in Madrid. It was a very large implementation at a Spanish branch of a big Swiss Bank. Late in the evening, straight after work, most of our team used to have dinner together in any of the terraces during that incredible hot summer. It was an intense project, full of challenges, and I considered still one of my bes...

Over recent months we have seen the FSA in the UK, as well as regulators in other geographies, hit the record books with larger and more numerous fines for misconduct – e.g. for poor reporting, or handling of customer data. These fines are supposed to be a deterrent and to change the behavior of market participants. However, the increased size an

Does operational Utopia exist?

The dialogue between the needs of the business groups (often widely disparate and silo'ed business groups) and the responsibilities of the enterprise IT departments can often read like a clichéd marriage guidance session: "But, he/she just doesn't understand me!?" But what if there was a road to operational nirvana? An IT infrastructure t...
