Challenges are ubiquitous in the back office and it is fair to say that technological innovations, when eventually adopted, are already sometimes dated. Innovation is a real and ongoing challenge. But the real difficulty for the function is to pinpoint where investments can make an impact, and where the cost of not investing could, in […]

Out with the old!

Being left a legacy might be on exciting prospect for an individual but for a bank it can be expensive and something that needs to be approached with great caution Legacy core systems are within the DNA of banks. While old, they have held up for years and carry with them a large amount of […]
