The Boston Globe reports that many communities are working on policies governing school staff’s use of Facebook, “inspired in p...

WelI you can guess what I'm going to write about. The North of Africa is hotter than the deserts that fringe it. Even in Cairo despite hundreds of thousands being in the streets the citizens confess they hardly noticed the rain and snow falling. The coming hours and days will determine the fate of not Egypt but perhaps those who try to prevent the ...

I have had a number of interesting chats with IT, information security and risk people about BYO (bring your own) technology and devices, and collaborative social sharing software, lately. (they were part of the non-editorial part of my job, so I can't spill the identity beans-yes, I know, it pisses me off too) Anyway, we all know the considered a...

Deutsche Bank trial iPhone usage. It’s an interesting commentary but I think the highlight of the story is missing from this article.

A short trip around the Finextra website can clearly demonstrate that there's no shortage of potential solutions to support the risk identification and management process.

Ever since I started working in the banking space – and that is, despite my young looks, quite a while ago – customer relationship management has been the holy grail for many a customer or prospect. Remember that period around the dotcom crash when everyone was implementing the latest CRM system? I can’t even remember the name of those companies n...

The Efma and Finalta report builds a strong case for reducing branch networks and concentrating on lower cost channels. This not only saves banks money, but also takes into account the ways in which consumers want to conduct their banking. However, shifting customer interactions away from the branch office to phone and online banking has created ...

According to the latest reports, the European Central Bank (ECB) is once again asserting its right to be more closely involved in shaping the OTC derivatives and clearing regulations. I, for one, would welcome greater involvement and oversight from the central bank. The ECB has every right to be included in any regulatory talks concerning, well, m...
