Banking & Leasing
A global digital transformation is underway!
For years, banking organisations have been adapting to an evolving and changing environment.
Chronology of a twenty-year cycle in banking life
- The implementation of new IT solutions began by replacing ‘in-house’ software coded in cobol or other development languages, which require specialised, trained resources in a closed environment.
- This universe has expanded and IS bricks have gradually been interconnected with other bricks: desktop publishing, accounting, etc.
- Document dematerialization has started, and the ecological trend of “zero paper” has gradually gained ground, even in our e-mails.
- The client is impatient… The bank must respond to a credit request within the hour… All of this is facilitated by the banks themselves or the State which allow the necessary guarantees to be covered.
- Social networks and hyperconnection have transformed the face of the banks. We are in an omnichannel era. I can pay either with a bank card, a virtual bank card, my phone, the recognition of fingerprints or iris…
- Banking services merge, transform, dematerialize… Some services are outsourced, and the customer service advisor is himself/herself a real hologram through video conferencing, with a mountain landscape wallpaper, while he/she may be either a few hundred meters or thousands of miles away.
The new era of Digital Banking
Digital banking enables banking and financial organisations to meet the expectations of users who have evolved over time, or users who were born in the digital age.
Our objective is to provide our clients with all the technologies and support they need in their transformation process.
Analyze and redesign customer experience
In today’s omnichannel environment, customer experience has become more complex: in-branch, on mobile…
- As part of this evolution, our consultants’ jobs have changed.
- Our UX/UI Designer consultants rethink systems, processes, applications, methods, websites. The objective is to provide a better customer experience, based on customer usage, and not simply determined by the user’s internal need.
- The customer journey evolves according to the customer’s experience on the channels available. Indeed, every habit is analysed, and data is stored. Why does this product sell better? Where does this customer come from? Why does he/she always go that way?
New methods require trained and experienced consultants to transform the Front and the Back-Office
To make the front-office attractive, it is also necessary to build solid, efficient and secure back-office systems that are accessible at all times.
Our consultants, thanks to their knowledge in the most complex topics, are specialised in this kind of approach. IT becomes a tool, the customer and the manager are at the heart of the system (implementation of methods that allow free exchange): agile methods (Scrum or others) replace tunnels and frustrations of V-cycles, new terminologies are implemented (Kaizen, Kanban, visual management…).
Various and complementary skills
Our consultants are experts in the following fields, with functional specialisations:
- systems and database administration
- Cloud environment management
- project management assistance, project management
- testing and acceptance (several consultants certified in our teams), with skills in test automation
- user need intake and analysis (business analyst, product owner)
- delivery (developers, Scrum masters, Release Manager, Delivery Manager…)
- decision support systems, Business Intelligence and tool management (Power BI, charts…)
- solutions integration
- Data management
- document management.
