The research also found that three of the top current areas digital infrastructures are delivering significant improvements in performance include: ensuring compliance under changing regulations, improved customer experiences and better cyber security.
Superior customer experience was singled out as the most competitive advantage for institutions to have in five years’ time. Nearly 41% of respondents cited this as their preferred competitive advantage and 19% for ‘operational efficiency’.
Over 42% of respondents said “one core platform combined with single add-on applications” will be the most popular and effective software strategy on how financial institutions will capitalise on key industry trends such as Artificial Intelligence, automation and the focus on delivering a strong customer experience.
Avaloq group chief product officer, Martin Greweldinger, said: “The digital transformation of the financial services industry has already begun, with many institutions embracing the significant benefits that digital and cloud-based operating models such as BPaaS and SaaS deliver. But it is clear that even bigger changes are arriving, particularly with regards to AI, robotics and automation, which combined with design thinking methodology will enhance the overall customer experience. Avaloq believes this will profoundly change and improve the way financial services are delivered across all customer segments.
