Session Description:

This presentation will provide analysis and insight regarding core banking technology strategies for U.S. banks, and will answer the key questions: when is a core system replacement appropriate, and when should a bank defer change?

Participants will gain an understanding of the categories of available solutions, vendor market share, the strengths and weaknesses of different service providers, and how changes in the market may influence the options available to banks in the future. The claims of vendors and industry analysts regarding the benefits of change will also be explored.

The potential business case for transforming the core system will be examined, and how reduced expenses and increased revenue may (or may not) contribute to this case. An idealized target state technology architecture will be suggested, and other technology and sourcing practices will be discussed.

This session is appropriate for senior financial services executives with responsibility for Product Development, Operations Management, Technology Management and Architecture, and Financial Management.
