Digitale Bereitschaft – die große Kluft

Milan, September 7th, 2020 – Fincons Group, an international systems integration company with offices in Italy, Switzerland, the UK, France, the US and Germany, today released a new free guide to digital transformation for financial services and insurance companies. The whitepaper examines digital readiness in the FSI sector after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. The need for social distancing has exposed significant digital readiness gaps in many businesses. The Fincons Group analyzes these gaps and suggests practical solutions that lead quickly to success in order to make up for lost ground.

Some banks and insurance companies made early investments in integration and modernization, but it was not always easy for them to keep pace with the volume and the new requirements. It was all the more difficult for companies that had not yet started their path to digitization. They often lagged far behind the competition. Latecomers who continued to rely on manual processes and personal interactions in the branch now have to start a risky chase to catch up in order not to lose touch with their digitally better prepared competitors.

This report highlights scenarios where rapid change is required, such as improving the user experience and introducing a simpler and faster onboarding process, virtual video collaboration, AI-powered applications, process automation, and new and improved anti-fraud measures. It shows the main obstacles that FSI companies are faced with in implementing these measures. These barriers typically fall into at least one of the following four categories:

  • Obsolete systems
  • System fragmentation
  • Change-resistant attitude of the top management
  • Lack of internal skills

As a system integrator for large insurance and financial services companies, the Fincons Group has extensive first-hand experience in this area. Now, Fincons is giving those companies that want to upgrade their systems, but not completely renew their systems, a practical guide to help them determine strategies and solutions to quickly and painlessly overcome the digital divide. The whitepaper also contains a practical section with questions and answers that show which initiatives should not be missed in the course of the digital transformation and how to make convincing arguments internally.

Giuliano Altamura, Leiter der BU Financial Services, sagt: „Dies ist eine spannende Zeit für den IT-Bereich. Die Bedingungen der realen Welt haben FSI-Unternehmen dazu veranlasst, sich ernsthaft mit einem Thema auseinanderzusetzen, dem sie lange Zeit aus dem Weg gegangen waren: der digitalen Transformation.
