About OpenText

OpenText helps more than 250 financial services firms and 55,000 Corporates and SMBs meet unique client requirements, mitigate operational risk, and expand into new geographies with 600,000 Counterparties. OpenText reduces not only the cost and complexity of client delivery, but also helps accelerate speed-to-market and time-to-revenue by up to 45%.

Innovation, disruption and regulation. Just as complex and costly, but now even faster.
The rate of change is accelerating, bank products are forced to significantly change every three years in average, as opposed to every seven years up until 2012. Regulation all over the world is throwing a number or curved balls with a heavy toll in terms of innovation budget, profit margins and differentiation. There isn’t enough time and capacity to be everything to everyone.

More breathing space for innovation!
Blockchain technology, real-time payments, client self-service, API integration, PSD2 and many other themes can’t be all adopted and fold into the Bank’s value proposition without making room for it. There is the cost and the lifecycle of everything else running today, which leaves a small headroom to bring innovation and increased business outcomes.

Providing Financial Institutions with more breathing space is top on our agenda for 2016 onwards, with a focus on digital channels and client and counterparty on-boarding. What we deliver to Banks is a way to simplify, consolidate and accelerate the digitization of their core business.

What does it mean, concretely?
One way to set out a growth strategy is to essentially separate the Banks’ products and services from the way clients and counterparty consume them; simplify and ring-fence products and processes for leaner P&L. For Payments & Cash Management, Securities and Trade Finance, this means shield the mid and back-office core processes and systems from the front office and channels.

How can this be achieved with OpenText?
From a technology perspective, success starts with looking at your Digital Channels for Corporates, FIs and Counterparties, are you leveraging your channel technology in the best way to “shield” your products and services?
  • Ring-fence the Bank products (payments & cash management, trade finance,  securities) with a smart Channel
  • Keep the Bank product P&L lean and use the Channel as the “client bespoke elements” layer, with more room for innovation and differentiation on the Bank’s core competency
  • Provide visibility across all payment types, asset classes and business flows
From a client on-boarding and “experience” perspective, we need to eliminate uncertainty and accelerate, digitize and automate the way Financial Institutions engage with their clients over time during the course of their business:
  • Report, analyse and comply in real time against regulatory requirements, based on an accurate client inventory
  • Package and govern changing on-boarding activities through market disruptions, including PSD2, LEIs, T2S, KYC and more
  • Automate and reduce manual effort around reference data management, client self-service, readiness testing, BAU community management
  • Pro-actively monetize client needs and deploy a consistent cross-product experience
  • Increase clients’ Net Promoter Score, keep them engaged and access/protect more share of their wallet
Meet the team
Mach Flinn, Jerome Tillier and Brian Leibforth are our Financial Services experts, who work daily with Financial Institutions on these topics. Feel free to request a meeting with them or drop by our booth location G69. They would also be very happy to facilitate introductions to Banks who are leveraging OpenText’ Business Network.
