Banks offering electronic cash management services are finding, with more and more customers demanding multi-product, multi-service, multi-geography, multi-bank, multi-currency, and multi-platform interacting front-end applications, that these programs are increasingly difficult to develop.
As a result, customer installation, support and training are cumbersome and expensive. Moreover, banks have developed proprietary systems over time that are increasingly difficult to adapt to the latest technologies.
Banks that have provided of cash management services now want to move to a common platform and to use premium standardized software that runs more efficiently and is easier to support.
While Banks seek ways to create economies of delivery and to employ capital more efficiently, their customers are demanding new products for new markets, differentiated services, and a diversified base of business.
Thus, banks face a two-fold challenge: (1) to modernize existing platforms that serve multiple business units, multiple functions, and multiple hardware and software platforms; and (2) to build new products based on new platforms. IT managers have had to shift their focus from hardware and software to customers, products, business lines, organization, and flexibility.
The current question for a cash management bank is: how to optimize in-house development, outsourcing, and alliances while protecting brand value and controlling the customer moment of value. When this is accomplished, the bank will meet its customers' needs for low-cost, low-risk security, high-speed, and ease of use.
