Success in the business world today is a question of survival of the technologically fittest, companies with the most remarkable achievements are the ones with the best tech strategy. They are faster, better, and more efficient.
Banks and financial institutions are no different, so over the last decade banks have been adopting technologies from third-party providers to accelerate time to market and boost competitiveness.
It’s been “tech up or tap out.”
So they teched up, empowering different business units to add the tech they needed, however they saw fit.
And things were okay – for a while.
But then it went from hundreds of solutions to thousands – and the complexity of the tech stack started to detract from its value.
Flash forward to today. The situation is unsustainable, there’s no clear way to see all the technologies the bank is using, where and how they’re being used, the specific solutions they’re getting from each vendor, or how much they are paying.
The result? Banks are spending way too much time and money evaluating and adding new tech as every new solution takes dozens of people and sometimes up to a year and a half to onboard. Meanwhile, teams keep adding capabilities the bank already has, so spend and technical debt just keeps rising.
Continuing on this path means the organization will become slower and heavier. Recent analysis from Bain shows a strong correlation between a bank’s technology choices and its performance, with overall success hinging on deft use of technology rather than on simply spending more on technology. The agility and profitability of the business is at stake.
It’s time to tech up right.
