Unleash innovative flair – and safeguard growth
Ulrich Dietz, Chairman of the Executive Board, CEO
Dear customers,
Dear friends of the GFT Group,
Dear readers,
Every day we hear more and more encouraging news about the economy. Indeed, leading German business analysts predict a return to moderate growth in Germany in 2010.
Especially now, as we see shoots of economic recovery, it will be product and process innovations that will nurture future growth. Information technology with its cross-sector expertise - knowledge that permeates every part of the business - provides companies with the know-how they need. In all areas of the economy, IT acts as a catalyst – to transform novel ideas into ground-breaking competitive solutions.
The financial sector in particular has a tremendous amount to gain from the use of innovative technology. IT will soon open the door to new realms of customer management.
Just one example: the recent trend towards mobile phone-based banking. If, like me, you’re one of the millions of iPhone or Blackberry users, you’ll already be able to see how much potential lies in mobile banking for financial services providers, especially when it comes to customer acquisition and retention …more
Other areas in which IT is making a crucial contribution to the ability of banks to safeguard competitiveness include risk management, the implementation of new regulations, and merger management. Similarly high on IT managers’ agendas: mapping highly complex processes. It is in these areas that interdisciplinary exchange between IT and specialist departments plays such a crucial role, as our recent banking survey shows …more
As well as innovation, especially in times when IT budgets are stretched to breaking point, new approaches towards international collaboration (such as Global Delivery Models) provide an appealing and economical alternative for implementing complex projects without compromising quality. As partners in software development, Spain and Brazil provide a perfect blend of technical expertise, industry know-how and cost benefits …more
Many products and processes hold tremendous potential to innovate and optimise modern business. We hope this newsletter provides you with some stimulating ideas for rethinking existing paradigms and exploring new territory.
Yours sincerely
Ulrich Dietz
