1. STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP
We take control to help you achieve a world class technology platform.
We excel in turnaround situations with aggressive timelines and challenging opportunities. This is achieved through strong thought leadership, together with structured strategy definition and execution.
A strong vision of business goals, linked to a cohesive technical strategy, is one of our key strengths in an uncertain and unclear environment.
Example
Ian drove an International business expansion across Europe, Asia and the Americas, to improve control and command. This supported a direct revenue growth in excess of $1 billion.
The key business targets, for the International business platform, were to implement an effective resource capability, drive revenue growth forwards along with improved control and command. This platform covered core banking, multi-currency loans, regulatory reporting and payments.
End-to-end leadership included examining opportunities for value and growth, aligning technology to meet both short and long-term goals, as well as evolving a strong direction for the new International business platform.
