Financial services 

In financial services, changes are occurring at a great pace. You have to deal with sharpened (inter)national legislation within the framework of compliancy. Optimal use of scale of operation and focus on distribution innovation are constantly demanding your attention. The key word in competition is speed. So you are looking for an ICT partner who understands your field of activity and who enhances your adaptive abilities. Inter Access is such a partner. Our customer focus is on reducing time-to-market, combined with cost reduction. Just fine words? Indeed, but we live up to them every day.

Your professional challenges

Your market is confronted by all sorts of developments which have a strong impact on governance, front office and back office. This demands a permanent transformation of your organisation, in which ICT takes on the role of business enabler. Let's list all the challenges:

Compliancy
  • Changed legislation and rules.
  • New regulations with regards to procedures for early retirement, the life-cycle savings scheme and related pension schemes.
  • Improved solvability control to enable improved testing by inspectors.
  • Corporate governance obligations as a result of amendments to inspection legislation.
  • More attention for the content and quality of their reports as a result of IFRS.
Front office
  • Strong competition in a relatively saturated market.
  • Transparent operation and anticipation of further regulation of financial services.
  • Efficient use of distribution and communication channels.
  • Developing innovative propositions with a high added value (using various forms of labelling).
  • Change to a more flexible and customer-oriented sales organisation.
Back office
  • Continuing pressure on results.
  • Capitalising on scale of operations.
  • Consolidation by product line.
  • Lean & mean operations and rationalised products.
  • High level of automation.
  • High level of quality and service.
Your technological challenges

Fast technological developments are a challenge as well. In the past decade, the emphasis was on developing internet technology and smart new applications. These days, attention has clearly shifted from product innovation to process innovation, aimed at efficiency, security, reliability and flexibility. We list the most important developments:

  • Wireless technology is winning ground fast, because it enables organisations to virtualise, which means that professional activities are increasingly disconnected from 'place and time' as limiting factors.
  • Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) which enable very fast development of new applications in the form of component building with service processes which are distilled from previously developed applications.
  • Web services and Portals to quickly share information, with a SOA's architecture forming the basis for integration with existing applications.
  • IT Utility solutions in which server and storage technology are used for virtualisation to enable sharing of an infrastructure by multiple clients and applications. This will reduce costs and increase flexibility.
