Digital Banking: Speed Up Your Transformation Plans with Appian

How to Speed Up Your Digital Transformation Plans for Financial Services

Last week in Austin, Texas, more than 950 senior executives from over 350 banks and credit unions turned out for the digital banking event all eager to learn how top innovators in the financial services industry have embraced digital transformation to thrive in the age of digital disruption.

Throughout two and a half days, we heard numerous case studies sharing tangible business outcomes, including how:

1. • Bank of Montreal saved $150+ million annually by reducing paper reports and adopting digital techniques.
   • Bank of Israel delivered amazing customer experiences by consolidating legacy applications on unified platform enabling 360 degree view of customers and fostering holistic compliance.
   • MasterCard increased their market penetration by launching a new mobile app in India, replacing their core legacy systems with an integrated platform providing flexibility and agility to their operating model.

But how do you make digital transformation happen, especially when legacy systems consume 80% of IT resources? More importantly, where do you start?

As I look back upon the Digital Banking event in Austin, it all comes down to this: for digital transformation to be on the fast-track to success, financial services institutions must adopt technology that delivers proven results. Smart businesses focus not only on the applications needed now, but also have a clear vision on future requirements. I would be glad to have the opportunity to talk with you about Appian's digital platform and develop a custom road map based on your specific business goals.

Perhaps the best place to start is with Appian, The Digital Transformation Platformô, which enables you to:

As part of the digital transformation journey, financial institutions must deliver customer-centric services quickly and efficiently. This demands operational flexibility and agility delivered by an optimum fusion of technology and business strategy, industry pundits recommend.
