Time-to-market and Agility<br />
What is thinkable is also possible<br />
Agility is “the ability to move quickly and easily” and flexibility is “the ability to change / adapt<br />
to suit new conditions, situations or circumstances”. Applied to the financial sector, these<br />
two concepts imply that “change” and the “way to handle it” are at the heart of the concerns<br />
of today’s companies and most particularly of banks.<br />
In that respect, two different<br />
approaches can be taken<br />
towards change :<br />
• reactive, trying to adapt as best<br />
one can to the external changes<br />
forced upon the financial institution<br />
by the surrounding environment. IT<br />
is frequently seen as a necessary<br />
evil and the bank’s strategy will<br />
often be to adopt a purely costcentric<br />
behaviour.<br />
• proactive, meaning that financial<br />
institutions take a voluntary approach<br />
towards change, enabling them to<br />
adapt swiftly to external constraints<br />
and also to be capable of deciding<br />
on new strategic action, vis-à-vis<br />
the market, to be one step ahead<br />
of competitors.<br />
How executives of financial institutions<br />
perceive IT depends on the<br />
approach adopted. “Necessary evil,<br />
i.e. pure cost centre, or business<br />
strategy enabler ?”<br />
Since the arrival of the PC in the early<br />
eighties, the way we handle processes<br />
and transfer data has been<br />
completely revolutionized : e-banking<br />
applications, straight-through<br />
processing, electronic connections<br />
to stock exchanges or brokers, online<br />
data-feeds are all (r)evolutions,<br />
more and more complex financial<br />
instruments that need to be handled<br />
properly and in a secure way, etc. All<br />
of these are examples of the changes<br />
that have occurred in the financial<br />
industry and which banks have to<br />
adapt to or take advantage of if they<br />
wish to remain competitive.<br />
On top of that, the regulatory environment<br />
has also been enforced in<br />
recent years with regulations like<br />
Basel II, IFRS and MiFID. Given what<br />
has happened to the financial markets<br />
at the end of 2008, it is very likely<br />
that this trend is going to continue.<br />
All these often mandatory changes<br />
generate extra burden for a bank’s<br />
IT department, especially those with<br />
in-house developments or older<br />
applications that are not evolving fast<br />
enough and which are in the Decline<br />
phase of their lifecycle.<br />
Finally, the major trend of mergers<br />
& acquisitions in an ever more globalised<br />
market requires agility from<br />
IT departments to adapt and consolidate<br />
their different systems.<br />
This trend has accelerated during<br />
these past months of financial crisis.<br />
All banks, whatever their size, have<br />
to adapt to these changes, whether<br />
they like it or not! It is simply a matter<br />
of survival and nothing else but a<br />
Darwinian process.<br />
Therefore, to remain on the competitive<br />
edge of the market, financial<br />
institutions have to integrate these<br />
external evolutions into their own<br />
strategy. That implies quickly creating<br />
and providing new products or<br />
services to the market, rapidly opening<br />
branches to address new clients,<br />
setting up IT or operational hubs<br />
(back-office centralisation, payment<br />
hubs), etc.<br />
Avaloq, as a software provider, puts<br />
every effort into supporting this “proactive”<br />
attitude towards change so<br />
as to enable financial institutions<br />
to take advantage of those market<br />
opportunities. Everything in Avaloq’s<br />
strategy, from its release cycle to its<br />
software architecture, focuses on<br />
innovation and the ability to be flexible<br />
and execute fast. Some concrete<br />
examples are : (a) the fully integrated<br />
software architecture avoiding data<br />
redundancy, replication or interface<br />
maintenance ; (b) the open interface<br />
concept providing an easy and<br />
standardised way of connecting thirdparty<br />
systems to the Avaloq Banking<br />
System (e.g. headquarter tools or<br />
specific reporting engines) ; (c) fully<br />
parameterisable workflows (from front<br />
to back office including accounting) ;<br />
(d) decision rules (for workflows, cost<br />
& fees, etc.) ; (e) the open object modelling<br />
engine that allows the creation<br />
of new and complex financial instruments<br />
; and much more.<br />
Furthermore, in order for banks<br />
to rapidly take advantage of this<br />
flexibility, Avaloq provides a preparameterised<br />
version of its software<br />
(the Model Bank) enabling a fast<br />
implementation project. Changes,<br />
adaptations and improvements are<br />
possible afterwards and can be made<br />
by the bank itself according to specific<br />
needs. Thereby, the banks can<br />
quickly decide on and implement new<br />
strategies without being dependent<br />
on the software provider. The result<br />
is a shorter time to market.<br />

Time-to-market and Agility<br />
Leveraging existing<br />
strengths<br />
In an ever-changing economic environment companies need<br />
to be endowed with the best tools and methodologies to allow<br />
the fastest time-to-market and software flexibility.<br />
The wealth management process is moving at a rapid pace to<br />
incorporate new products, processes, regulatory requirements and<br />
to address ever-changing customer demands. Service providers need<br />
to be able to respond quickly to business changes whilst leveraging<br />
application infrastructure to address new business requirements.<br />
While infrastructure is seen as a commodity<br />
and therefore not the core<br />
business of a wealth management<br />
firm, it is vital for banks to adapt their<br />
service delivery and technology to<br />
cater effectively to client needs in their<br />
target growth markets. This includes<br />
achieving error-free transaction<br />
processing via an agile wealth management<br />
platform to ensure a shorter<br />
time to market. However, outdated or<br />
fragmented core systems often create<br />
obstacles for the front-office to<br />
manage customers effectively and<br />
maximize revenues.<br />
To meet the challenges of a more<br />
demanding customer, stricter regulations,<br />
increased globalization,<br />
and stronger cost pres sures, banks<br />
need sound, future-proof information<br />
technology that gives the agility<br />
to address arising market conditions<br />
and business requirements. For institutions<br />
of all sizes, this technology<br />
is the strategic weapon for surviving<br />
and growing in a fast-paced industry.<br />
For leading banks, the answer<br />
lies in standard, scalable solutions<br />
built on the principles of service-oriented<br />
architecture (SOA).This use of<br />
cutting-edge technology can assist<br />
banks in maximize their competitive<br />
advantage, comply with the latest<br />
regulations, minimize costs, and<br />
increase customer satisfaction.<br />
Deployed on the SAP NetWeaver<br />
tech nology platform, Thaler Wealth<br />
Management adopts an enterprise<br />
service-oriented architecture (enterprise<br />
SOA). Integrated with the Thaler<br />
Core Banking solution, Thaler Wealth<br />
Management is a front-to-back office<br />
core banking solution from Callataÿ<br />
& Wouters which includes pre-configured<br />
modules to enable a fast,<br />
low-risk implementation. Designed<br />
with open architecture, the platform<br />
offers the ability to integrate with<br />
third party solutions, adding a broad<br />
range of features and functionalities.<br />
Completely pre-configured and easy<br />
to implement, this powerful solution<br />
can support a wide range of client<br />
prefer ences and investment choices.<br />
Due to the embedded SAP analytical<br />
capabilities in Thaler, banks and<br />
wealth managers benefit from the<br />
advantages of a robust and agile<br />
solution, backed up by the lean<br />
analytical backbone of SAP. Sophisticated<br />
analytics can be deployed, to<br />
leverage the opportunities presented<br />
by targeted clients to explore prospects<br />
for cross-selling and fee-based<br />
personalized advice.<br />
Banks who comprehensively understand<br />
their clients will be able to<br />
leverage existing strengths to transform<br />
and adapt their service delivery<br />
and technology to cater effectively<br />
to client needs in their target growth<br />
markets. Technology is, without<br />
doubt, an important enabler in delivering<br />
efficient actionable advice for<br />
Wealth Managers, but it is only a supporting<br />
tool in the client-to-advisor<br />
relationship, which plays a key role in<br />
managing the bank’s customers.<br />

security<br />
Managing threats,<br />
reducing fraud and<br />
maintaining client trust<br />
Complex industry regulations and threats to revenue, reputation<br />
and operations have converged to make security and<br />
fraud chief concerns for financial companies. At the same<br />
time, many financial institutions are integrating with partners<br />
and enabling interactive customer services to support<br />
aggressive growth in today’s competitive business climate.<br />
New business and technology initiatives carry inherent IT risk and<br />
must be balanced with the ongoing need to pre serve trust and protect<br />
reputation. Only a robust IT security program enables banks and<br />
financial markets organizations to extend services securely. To be<br />
successful, security management should be part of a broader model<br />
of manag ing operational risk and fraud without adversely impacting<br />
business processes or customer services.<br />
Laurent Busser, Head of e-Business<br />
and Swift developments, SkillTeam<br />
Luxembourg<br />
As one of the earliest adopters of<br />
IT security technology, the financial<br />
sector far outpaces many other<br />
industries in network and information<br />
protection. Even so, the growing<br />
complex ity of the IT environment and<br />
the subsequent increase in security<br />
point products have made it difficult<br />
to integrate a holistic security strategy<br />
with overall business planning. All the<br />
while, security threats are evolving,<br />
vulnerabilities are increasing rapidly,<br />
and data leakage continues to present<br />
sig nificant risk in terms of liability,<br />
cost and impact on reputation.<br />
You may already be replacing obsolete<br />
security solutions and / or layering on<br />
additional security in what seems like<br />
a never-ending cycle. But even when<br />
you operate with well-defined business<br />
strategies, your security may consist<br />
primarily of endpoint solutions that lack<br />
integration. With finite security dollars,<br />
you may wonder where to invest next,<br />
how to prioritize security requirements<br />
according to best practices and how<br />
to leverage past security investments.<br />
More than ever, you may recognize<br />
the need to optimize security investments<br />
by taking a more holistic view<br />
of threat mitigation and developing<br />
effective policies using commonly<br />
available tool sets. Financial executives,<br />
chief information security<br />
officers and IT staff understand the<br />
high stakes of security, but they often<br />
lack the real-time metrics and operational<br />
reporting to support security at<br />
the same level as other IT initiatives.<br />
Despite such challenges, success ful<br />
and protected financial institutions<br />
continue to focus on secure IT efforts<br />
that help differentiate the business,<br />
accel erate threat management, and<br />
meet government, industry and<br />
business partner compliance requirements.<br />

SEPA : PSD and Exceptions & Investigations<br />
Driving benefits<br />
from PSD and SEPA<br />
PSD (Payment Services Directive) or the European directive on<br />
Payment services from November 13, 2007, (2007 / 64 / CE)<br />
lays the necessary legal foundations to create a truly unique<br />
payments-market in Europe. The directive is a decisive step<br />
in the implementation of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area).<br />
The European Member States and the European Economic Area<br />
(Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland) will have to transpose the<br />
directive in their national legal framework before November 1, 20<strong>09</strong>.<br />
In Luxembourg, the Minister of Finance supervises the transposition<br />
of PSD into national law, under the eye of the European Commission,<br />
and brings together the actors that are concerned by the law.<br />
The directive is a legal support for SEPA<br />
and includes a regulatory objective<br />
with an incentive to improve transparency<br />
and increase the competition<br />
Jean Diederich, Senior Manager<br />
chez INEUM Consulting<br />
between actors, while also enhancing<br />
the protection of consumers. From a<br />
practical point of view, PSD reaches<br />
all the transactions between the bank<br />
and the client : the basic terms and<br />
conditions, the cycle of execution,<br />
the obligation to transmit some information,<br />
the compensations and the<br />
unauthorized payments. Also, the<br />
directive defines strict rules, such as<br />
the list of information that should be<br />
sent to the clients when a new contract<br />
of payments comes into play<br />
and the information that must be sent<br />
before, during and after the payment<br />
process.<br />
The objective of PSD is to protect<br />
the consumer through the release<br />
of information and conditions on<br />
the payment services provider (Title<br />
III) and through defining rights and<br />
duties between the client and the<br />
services provider (Title IV), which<br />
are also partly applicable to professionals.<br />
Contrary to numerous other<br />
directives that are limited to great<br />
principles, PSD provides technical<br />
and operational payment service<br />
details. The directive also prescribes<br />
the necessary service levels upon<br />
payment and the allowed time for<br />
service execution and declares who<br />
is responsible for faults.
SEPA : PSD and Exceptions & Investigations<br />
SEPA :<br />
PSD and Exceptions<br />
& Investigations<br />
Industry figures indicate that 2-5% of all payments give rise<br />
to an exception. While this might be seen like a very low<br />
proportion of the overall payments processed, it is in fact a<br />
growing cost and a point of pain for all the industry players<br />
– the banks, the financial institutions and their private or<br />
institutional customers, It is therefore crucial for the industry<br />
as a whole to address this issue by applying technology<br />
to common exception types in order to resolve payments<br />
investigations in a fully standardised and automated way.<br />
Yves Quaedpeerds,<br />
Senior Business Analyst and Consultant<br />
in Finance, IBM / Skillteam Luxembourg<br />
Today, the pressure to automate the<br />
process of Payments Exceptions and<br />
Payments Investigation is higher than<br />
ever. Industry regulations such as<br />
SEPA and FATF7 are forcing banks to<br />
become more efficient and find new<br />
ways to mitigate revenue-attrition.<br />
At the same time, improving customer<br />
service levels has become a<br />
critical differentiator between cash<br />
management offerings. Quick and<br />
efficient resolution of problems is<br />
a key influencing factor in banks’<br />
customer retention rates. Financial<br />
Institutions are therefore also looking<br />
at implementing new online services<br />
at a lower unit cost. This will lead to<br />
higher profitability.<br />
Their customers are also eager to<br />
reduce the turnaround time of their<br />
payment enquiries. It will speed up<br />
payments reconciliation and allow<br />
for better control of payables and<br />
receivables.<br />
Implementing Exceptions and Investigations<br />
standards and process will<br />
allow you to perfectly automate your<br />
payments enquiries as it provides<br />
you with a very strict business and<br />
communication protocol. A clear<br />
definition of the actors, their roles, the<br />
communication flows and exchanged<br />
messages guarantee higher STPrates<br />
while a clear rulebook endorses<br />
industry practice and best usage.<br />
Benefits of implementing<br />
E&I for banks :<br />
• Reduce the enquiry costs<br />
• Become AML-compliant in<br />
a smooth way<br />
• Improve your customer service<br />
• Grow your business while maintaining<br />
your customer service level<br />
• Generate additional revenue<br />
Benefits of implementing<br />
E&I for Clients :<br />
• Get transparency on payments<br />
enquiries<br />
• Support central accounting /<br />
treasury management<br />
• Reduce the enquiry costs<br />

Business Process Outsourcing<br />
Outsourcing as Part<br />
of the Bank’s<br />
Corporate Strategy<br />
Meet Dr Hendrik Van Gammeren, BPO expert at Swiss company<br />
B-Source<br />
Checklist for<br />
a successful BPO :<br />
• The bank must have<br />
a sourcing strategy.<br />
• The BPO provider must<br />
demonstrate knowledge<br />
of the banking industry and<br />
expertise and experience in<br />
outsourcing.<br />
• There must be an established<br />
community within the BPO<br />
provider.<br />
• Canvas a number of<br />
providers and have these<br />
offers evaluated by an<br />
independent external<br />
consultant specializing<br />
in outsourcing.<br />
• The provider should have<br />
a proven track record.<br />
Outsourcing is very fashionable<br />
among banks at present. Why is<br />
the process slower when it comes<br />
to outsourcing their entire business<br />
processes ?<br />
Outsourcing of payment transactions<br />
and securities administration is clearly<br />
very well established, but this is much<br />
less true of other processes such as client<br />
master data administration and the<br />
lending business. That could be a sign<br />
of the immaturity of sourcing in bank<br />
processes. Compared with the situation<br />
in manufacturing industry, vertical<br />
integration has traditionally been very<br />
high at banks, with excessive numbers<br />
of highly individual in-house solutions<br />
hindering benefits of scale from being<br />
exploited and costs from being cut. It<br />
is therefore no wonder that Business<br />
Process Outsourcing (BPO) is progressing<br />
slowly. Many banks are redefining<br />
their operational business models to<br />
fit their growth strategies. Outsourcing<br />
decisions will only be taken once the necessary<br />
operational models are in place.<br />
What are the essential requirements<br />
for banks with regards to BPO ?<br />
The bank must define its own business<br />
model before any outsourcing of<br />
business processes can take place. It<br />
must then define its sourcing strategy,<br />
or it will not be able to invite comparable<br />
bids from rival outsourcing<br />
providers. It is also important for the<br />
bank to engage an external consultant<br />
who can provide expert support<br />
and above all who knows the ‘rules<br />
of the sourcing game’.<br />
What mistakes can banks make<br />
when opting for BPO ?<br />
It is naïve to believe that the outsourcing<br />
provider will solve all IT problems.<br />
A bank that does not have its own IT<br />
and back-office under control cannot<br />
expect that the provider can accomplish<br />
miracles.<br />
What processes can banks definitely<br />
not outsource ?<br />
Management, sales and client-facing<br />
processes cannot be outsourced. In<br />
short : everything that sets a bank<br />
apart from its competitors. There are<br />
also legal requirements such as banking<br />
acts and regulatory provisions in<br />
each country that can prevent or<br />
affect outsourcing.<br />
Is BPO an automatic cost cutter ?<br />
No, not automatically and certainly<br />
not in every case! Even where cost<br />
reduction is possible through benefits<br />
of scale and standardization,<br />
cost reduction is not a given. For<br />
example, there are banks that opt for<br />
outsourcing even though their costs<br />
are already low because their IT infrastructure<br />
and applications are nearing<br />
the end of their lifecycle.<br />
10 20<strong>09</strong>
Dr Hendrik Van Gammeren,<br />
BPO expert at Swiss company<br />
B-Source<br />
When considering outsourcing is<br />
the size of the bank important ?<br />
No, size as such is not important.<br />
The critical factor is the number<br />
of members in the community of<br />
the ‘outsourcer’. This will provide<br />
economies of scale and skill<br />
sets. BPO providers need a certain<br />
number of sophisticated and<br />
mature banks as clients. This will<br />
determine whether the community<br />
is strong enough to develop the<br />
community’s platform.<br />
Does the bank have to be in a<br />
community in order to reap cost<br />
benefits ?<br />
Not necessarily, but by nature many<br />
communities are created around a<br />
banking software. B-Source’s BPO<br />
offering is powered by Avaloq. As such,<br />
we have created a community of BPO<br />
clients that use the Avaloq banking<br />
platform. B-Source is an Avaloq BPO<br />
partner and also has a partnership with<br />
the Competence Center Sourcing of<br />
the University of St. Gallen.<br />
There are only a handful of BPO<br />
providers in Switzerland. Where is<br />
the banking market going ?<br />
We see the market trending toward<br />
a small number of standard packages<br />
tailored to particular segments<br />
in the banking industry. It is crucial<br />
to develop diverse communities to<br />
take advantage of these packages.<br />
As standardization and transparency<br />
improve, the market grows more<br />
mature, prices fall allowing more<br />
competition in the industry.<br />

Saas<br />
Clearstream Services,<br />
une plate-forme<br />
bancaire complète<br />
à votre service<br />
Il y a plus d’un an, en annonçant la création d’une plateforme<br />
bancaire intégrée, Clearstream Services a été la première<br />
société de la place de Luxembourg à proposer une solution<br />
fonctionnelle globale sous forme d’un service.<br />
Dès son avènement, cette solution visait à offrir un service avec<br />
une couverture fonctionnelle aussi large et flexible que possible et<br />
reposant sur les ressources, les compétences IT et l’expérience d’un<br />
acteur majeur de la place bancaire Luxembourgeoise. Cette approche<br />
permettait au banquier de se concentrer sur son core business sans<br />
devoir s’inquiéter des aspects IT intégralement pris en charge par des<br />
partenaires leaders dans leurs domaines et disposant du statut de PSF<br />
requis par la CSSF.<br />
Depuis lors, au contact de différents<br />
prospects et clients, cette solution<br />
a considérablement évolué. Elle<br />
se compose de tous les éléments<br />
nécessaires aux activités d’une banque<br />
avec pour la partie back-office le<br />
progiciel Thaler Wealth Management<br />
de Callataÿ & Wouters, la solution<br />
Triple A de Odyssey pour les aspects<br />
front-office de même que Financial<br />
Analytics de FRS pour la génération<br />
du reporting légal. A ceci s’ajoutent<br />
la suite K+ de Thomson Reuters pour<br />
la gestion de transactions et de risques,<br />
de même que la suite cama TM<br />
d’Information Mosaic pour la gestion<br />
des « corporate actions ».<br />
Opérationnellement, les partenaires<br />
assurent ensemble la gestion, la<br />
maintenance et le support de tous<br />
les modules fonctionnels disponibles,<br />
la mise à disposition et la gestion<br />
de l’infrastructure technique IT, les<br />
back-ups de même que le DRP.<br />
En plus de sa flexibilité, un avantage<br />
important du service offert réside<br />
dans le fait que son coût d’utilisation<br />
est lié au volume d’activité de<br />
la banque. Le management peut<br />
donc à l’avance connaître les frais<br />
de fonctionnement de son informatique<br />
en fonction de ses prévisions<br />
business.<br />
En matière de technologie, le service<br />
est transparent pour l’utilisateur.<br />
Ce qui importe c’est que la solution<br />
soit disponible aux heures et suivant<br />
les paramètres définis dans le SLA.<br />
La technologie sous-jacente doit<br />
permettre à la banque d’évoluer sans<br />
contrainte. Les systèmes mis à disposition<br />
utilisent les technologies les<br />
plus modernes et sont opérés 24h<br />
sur 24. L’ensemble des composants<br />

LA PERFORMANCE<br />
AU SERVICE DU CLIENT<br />
La première version de l’offre d’une<br />
plate-forme bancaire en mode SaaS,<br />
incluant Thaler Wealth Management<br />
et FRS a été faite en mai 2007. Cinq<br />
mois plus tard, NEPB, filiale du Crédit<br />
Mutuel Nord Europe était en production.<br />
Ce premier client a été suivi par<br />
Dresdner Bank Luxembourg qui a<br />
choisi cette même plate-forme pour<br />
sa filiale située en Belgique. Elle est<br />
en production depuis fin 2007. Petercam<br />
Luxembourg sera opérationnel<br />
dans le courant du premier trimestre<br />
20<strong>09</strong>, et un grand acteur de la place<br />
de Luxembourg sera opérationnel en<br />
mai 20<strong>09</strong> avec Triple A. Le groupe<br />
ING procède actuellement à la mise<br />
en place de l’offre cama TM dans le<br />
cadre de l’introduction d’une solution<br />
unique à destination de 8 de ses<br />
filiales situées dans des pays de l’est<br />
de l’Europe, de même que pour la<br />
Belgique et les Pays-Bas. Cinq des<br />
filiales sont déjà opérationnelles. L’entité<br />
de gestion de fonds alternatifs de<br />
Credit Europe Bank (Suisse) a été la<br />
première à utiliser le module K+. Elle<br />
a été suivie par Société Générale<br />
Securities Services à Paris.<br />
Clearstream est l’un des 10 plus<br />
grands utilisateurs mondiaux du<br />
réseau SWIFT. Il est apparu très rapidement<br />
que l’offre SaaS devait se<br />
doter d’une interface vers le monde<br />
SWIFT. C’est devenu réalité en 2007<br />
et depuis lors plusieurs institutions<br />
financières profitent de l’infrastructure<br />
SWIFT de Clearstream au travers de<br />
son offre Swift Service Bureau. Parmi<br />
celles-ci on compte Natixis, NEPB,<br />
Compagnie de Banque Privée et<br />
Petercam à Luxembourg, de même<br />
que des utilisateurs internationaux<br />
tels que Petercam à Bruxelles, la<br />
Banca Regionale Europea S.P.A. à<br />
Nice, ou la Banque de Dépôt et de<br />
Crédit de Djibouti. Cette solution intéresse<br />
également les assurances qui<br />
bientôt viendront s’ajouter aux clients<br />
existants.<br />
En créant cette offre Saas et en la faisant<br />
évoluer en fonction des besoins<br />
de ses clients, Clearstream Services<br />
et ses partenaires ont prouvé qu’il<br />
est possible de capitaliser sur des<br />
ressources locales pour créer un hub<br />
bancaire disponible pour les banques<br />
situées au Luxembourg comme à l’extérieur<br />
de nos frontières, en parfaite<br />
harmonie avec le souhait du gouvernement<br />
luxembourgeois lorsqu'il avait<br />
créé la loi relative aux PSF.<br />

customer centricity<br />
Have a holistic view<br />
of your clients…<br />
to support your strategy<br />
Three aspects about «customer<br />
centricity» must first be highlighted<br />
:<br />
1- All think it is a good idea! It is considered<br />
to be an elementary part<br />
of doing business well, one of the<br />
major factors for success.<br />
2- Everybody claims they are! Has<br />
anyone ever heard a company<br />
say “we ignore the wishes of our<br />
customers” or “customers come<br />
second” ?<br />
3- Nobody really is sure what it is!<br />
Although all claim to agree and<br />
perform accordingly, there is no<br />
common and clear definition of<br />
what it actually means.<br />
Googling the term “Customer<br />
Centricity” results in 145’000 hits.<br />
Obviously, the topic is widely discussed<br />
and opinions are many.<br />
Wikipedia defines it as follows :<br />
“Customer centricity refers to the orientation<br />
of a company to the needs<br />
and behaviours of its customers,<br />
rather than internal drivers (such as<br />
the quest for short-term profit)”. So<br />
far so good, but what does it actually<br />
mean ? Very often the hits lead<br />
directly to CRM sites – the term is<br />
used to suggest that a CRM system<br />
is the easy (or only ?) way to make<br />
processes customer centric. And<br />
(almost) all lead to the same conclusion<br />
: Customer centricity achieves<br />
higher customer satisfaction and<br />
therefore leads to higher customer<br />
retention and acquisition rates, and<br />
thus to better profitability. Thus the<br />
(obvious) conclusion seems to be :<br />
the aim of customer centricity is to<br />
move the focus from short to longterm<br />
profitability.<br />
However, the problem seems to lie<br />
not in the objective (who would mind<br />
enhanced profitability), but in the<br />
identification of the “needs and behaviours”<br />
of customers. This requires a<br />
holistic view of the customer, and no<br />
system will ever be able to provide this<br />
view without a customer’s willing ness<br />
for in-depth participation.<br />
• Customers’ needs depend on their<br />
status, life cycle, mobility requirements,<br />
diversity and lifestyle.<br />
• Customers’ behaviour depends on<br />
knowledge, risk willingness, personality<br />
and relationship type.<br />
And they influence each other :<br />
it has been known that marriage<br />
(and especially the birth of a child)<br />
has an impact on needs as well as<br />
on behaviour. Similarly, personality<br />
certainly impacts behaviour as well<br />
as needs (an independent person<br />
acts and expresses his / her will<br />
differently, compared to a trustful,<br />
passive person).<br />
One more important question must<br />
be asked : are the client’s needs and<br />
behaviours always right, and represent<br />
the benchmark of what a bank<br />
must offer ? Certainly not! The bank<br />
must decide which needs and behaviours<br />
it is willing to satisfy. Saying “no”<br />
to customers outside the defined<br />
scope is a must.<br />
In conclusion, customer centricity<br />
means :<br />
• Defining what you can / are willing<br />
to do (the bank’s business strategy)<br />
• Knowing your customer and ensuring<br />
the customer’s willingness to<br />
offer you a holistic view<br />
• Matching the offerings with the<br />
needs. Else, downgrading to a pure<br />
product customer (“take what you<br />
want without active advisory”)<br />
• Offering the right products and<br />
services at the right time over the<br />
right channels to the right customer<br />
(execute the right advisory<br />
process)<br />
Thus, it all starts with knowing one’s<br />
own strengths and weaknesses and<br />
being able to say “no” where there is<br />
a mismatch.<br />
Avaloq supports a holistic customer<br />
view by providing a CRM system<br />
integrated into the transaction booking<br />
engine and the position keeping<br />
system. Further, positional data held<br />
at other banks may also be maintained,<br />
as well as freely definable<br />
relationships between customers<br />
(keyword “family office”). This way,<br />
access is simultaneously available to<br />
static customer data, evaluation and<br />
performance of the valuables of a<br />
customer or customer group, as well<br />
as to (banking) behaviour changes.<br />

customer centricity<br />
Are you ready to capture<br />
and retain the HNWI’s of<br />
this world ?<br />
Private banks in Switzerland and Singapore are keeping the<br />
momentum by currently massively investing in client centric<br />
applications with the unique aim of capturing a larger share<br />
of the private banking growth. New Access proposes a 360°<br />
view of these latest investment trends.<br />
Jean-François Bequevort, Directeur<br />
de New Access Luxembourg<br />
Private Banking has always been a traditional key activity in Luxembourg.<br />
Even if the local private banking sector has experienced a substantial<br />
growth in recent years, market conditions are moving and impose some<br />
drastic changes in the way business is done. A failure to adapt might<br />
cause serious issues when facing a stronger and growing competition<br />
originating from multiple Private Banking Centers. Private banking<br />
customer population is shifting from old traditional regional clientele<br />
and family wealth to new entrepreneurs, executives and offshore HNWI.<br />
Many local financial institutions massively<br />
invested in the so-called “back<br />
office” in the last four years. These<br />
investments where driven by some<br />
rationalization at group level, major<br />
regulatory reforms such as CoREP,<br />
FiNREP and MiFID or by a strategy<br />
designed to enhance some processes<br />
running behind the scene.<br />
The unfortunate consequence is the<br />
lack of focus that was often given on<br />
the business side of the infrastructure,<br />
namely the front office and the<br />
relationship management at large.<br />
Many banks in Switzerland and Asia<br />
already understood the fundamental<br />
need to re-invest in customer centric<br />
solutions and applications. In doing<br />
so, even in difficult times, they prepare<br />
themselves to get the most out<br />
of the HNWI and UHNWI new waves<br />
popping up in offshore countries.<br />
Investments are targeting three main<br />
business objectives :<br />
Target and attract new customers by<br />
facilitating the prospect management<br />
cycle within the bank, by accelerating<br />
the account opening procedure,<br />
by managing segmented customized<br />
campaign, by using referrals,…<br />
Retain and serve existing client base<br />
by providing customer relationship<br />
managers with superior tools and<br />
workbenches, by managing customer<br />
data (including central file) in a<br />
business proactive way, by creating<br />
relevant profiling and segmentation<br />
(risk aversion, portfolio strategy,…),<br />
by generating individual high quality<br />
dynamic statements, by personalizing<br />
each key relation, …<br />
Increase operational efficiency in<br />
the front office. In highly competitive<br />
situations, there is a strong need to<br />
do more with less. Banks are today<br />
investing to get the most from hard<br />
to recruit CRM, facilitating their daily<br />
job and their relationships with other<br />
departments such as compliance,<br />
customer services, IT.<br />
New Access is a Swiss headquartered<br />
private banking software company<br />
serving financial institutions in more<br />
than 19 countries. The New Access<br />
approach is based on the philosophy<br />
that it is essential to understand, and<br />
to be able to satisfy, clients’ needs.<br />
That’s why a great deal of effort is<br />
put into working within clients’ own<br />
frameworks and business models in<br />
order to provide them with the best<br />
customer centric products and solutions.<br />
Not only does the company<br />
constantly strive to be at the cutting<br />
edge of technology, it also remains<br />
flexible and thinks outside the box.<br />
In today’s complex banking industry,<br />
New Access SA will always be one<br />
step ahead, providing adaptable<br />
solutions so that square pegs actually<br />
fit into round holes!<br />

egulation & risk<br />
A paradigm shift<br />
to spark progress<br />
One consequence of the recent upheavals in the financial<br />
industry will certainly be an increase in regulatory demands<br />
in the future.<br />
Governments as “guarantors of last resort” will demand to know what<br />
they are responsible for. Regulation, already perceived by Chief Risk<br />
Officers as the top source of risk in its own right during the years before<br />
the sub-prime crisis,* will become even more so in the years ahead.<br />
Regulatory demands aside, internal demands for better risk and return<br />
management are bound to increase at a rapid pace.<br />
The current state of thinking, organisation<br />
and IT infrastructure in the<br />
financial industry is unable to meet the<br />
additional demands for higher quality<br />
financial analysis. The cost of financial<br />
analysis – of which regulation is only<br />
a small part – is a consequence of<br />
segregated thinking which leads to<br />
the expensive silo architecture commonly<br />
found in the financial industry<br />
today. This cost is likely to explode<br />
in the near future in the absence of a<br />
paradigm shift.<br />
However, this situation is not a consequence<br />
of a natural law but a<br />
self-inflicted situation due to a lack<br />
of sound first principles in financial<br />
analysis.<br />
The speaker, Dr. Willi Brammertz, cuts<br />
the Gordian knot of an expensivelyproduced<br />
chaos, showing that all<br />
financial analysis goes back to a few<br />
and well ordered base rules.<br />
Based on these rules, it is possible to<br />
derive any financial analysis - including<br />
regulatory reporting. Thus the<br />
proposed paradigm shift could trigger<br />
real progress within the financial<br />
sector. Once we think about financial<br />
analysis along these principles, organisation<br />
and IT structure should follow,<br />
leading to more meaningful and less<br />
expensive financial analysis.<br />

enhance STP level in Back-offices’ daily control operations.<br />

already operating controls in the following fields :<br />
• Cash reconciliation (nostrii and internal accounts)<br />
• Securities reconciliations (transactions & Statement of Holdings)<br />
• Forex & Money Market (3-way confirmation reconciliation)<br />

IT investments need<br />
appropriate decisions<br />
Can you improve your<br />
Return On Investment?<br />
Businesses today face a definite need to optimise each IT decision and every<br />
IT investment. With IT becoming, more than ever, a strong competitive asset,<br />
companies cannot afford to have only a limited understanding of IT Returns<br />
on Investment (ROI).<br />
At Deloitte, we have specialist IT consultants backed up by specialist business<br />
consultants. Our mission is to enhance your organisation’s performance,<br />
productivity and profitability through pertinent IT choices, then to implement<br />
these choices with you. By being a unique partner who can both advise on<br />
and implement solutions, we enable our clients to:<br />
• Build a comprehensive IT plan in alignment<br />
with your overall business strategy<br />
• Measure at any time the relevance<br />
of your IT choices and their<br />
conformity to your company’s<br />
IT strategy<br />
• Achieve optimal IT solutions<br />
to meet the organisation’s<br />
ongoing needs.<br />

Company profile & commercial offers<br />
Temenos :<br />
The banking software company<br />
Founded in 1993 and listed on the main segment of the Swiss Stock<br />
Exchange (SWX : TEMN), Temenos Group AG is a leading provider of<br />
integrated modular core banking systems. We serve more than 600<br />
customers in over 120 countries, supported by 44 offices with more<br />
than 2,300 staff made up of over 60 nationalities.<br />
Temenos is the world’s leading supplier of packaged banking software.<br />
We offer modern, innovative and award-winning banking systems, which<br />
enable our clients to grow their business, manage costs and manage risk.<br />
We are the only software company that has committed to banking as<br />
its sole domain and we live or die by the success of our banking systems.<br />
This success depends on our ability to offer specialised domain<br />
expertise. We do not dilute this expertise by serving other industries.<br />
Our systems are based on the latest open technology and not aligned<br />
to any particular hardware, server or database technology. This results<br />
in flexibility, reduced risk and ensures that our clients have choice in the<br />
technical infrastructure on which they run our systems.<br />
Our T24 Model Bank product is preconfigured with industry best<br />
practice built-in, enabling fast and predictable implementations with<br />
immediate, measurable benefits.<br />
We provide a true core banking package, which is upgradable through<br />
our yearly release programme, so our clients can avoid the obsolescence<br />
inevitable with many legacy systems.<br />
We take our responsibilities seriously – as a supplier, business partner,<br />
employer and global organisation.<br />
We are aware that this success depends in turn on our investing in<br />
our products and people to ensure that they continue to support your<br />
requirements into the future.<br />
We will continue to invest for the long term and we invite you to talk<br />
to us to see how our investment can benefit your organisation.<br />
