Increasing regulation, mega shifts in technology and changing social behaviors are forcing banks to appraise the ongoing viability of their business model and decide how they innovate in order to compete and survive.

Some options are:

Option – 1 Do Nothing is probably not an option because there is a growing number of providers for all banking products and services offering lower prices, easier access and better customer service.

Option – 2 Become an infrastructure provider to other banks or fintech companies by achieving significant economies of scale.

Option – 3 Become a virtual financial advisor using financial products and services from a multitude of partners and leveraging available customer data.

Option – 4 Leverage existing competitive advantages by thinning down and combine only strategically important own-labelled products like current accounts (for data, cheap deposits) and payments (data) with 3rd party products and services.

Whichever way banks choose to meet a changing future Syncrasy’s Data Discovery Platform will underpin the drive to be future ready.

Proprietary data warehouses, outdated ETL systems, customer demands for new interactive line of business applications, digital invaders and increasing regulation are threatening the ability of banks to compete and survive.

However, replacing these systems on mass would be a major undertaking, thwart with risk, business disruption and potential failure.

An alternative would be to leverage the modern IT architecture of Syncrasy’s Data Discovery Platform to underpin, utilize and extend existing resources and position the bank with the IT infrastructure needed to address new data driven initiatives and be future ready.

In an increasingly customer-centric world, the ability to capture and use customer insights to shape products, solutions and the buying experience is critical.

But for most banks building a comprehensive customer profile from isolated in data silos, application platforms and customer interaction points is often out of reach.

Syncrasy’s Data Discovery Platform overcomes these obstacles by providing the data architecture and data processing capabilities to consolidate and correlate vast amounts of customer operational data to unlock the patterns that help identify customer needs, learn from their behaviors and deliver personalized interactions.

Most banks are forging ahead with their risk and compliance initiatives, even as regulatory uncertainty will likely remain a significant and ongoing challenge. 

Out of date ETL systems and legacy data warehouses are all hindering efforts by risk assessment teams to understand whether available data is current, accurate and comprehensive.

With Syncrasy’s Pluggable data curation, analysis, analytics and machine learning applications, banks can build multiple data pipelines from a trusted “single source of truth” to:

  • Improve the quality and accuracy of operational data.
  • Satisfy regulatory and audit requirements.
  • Use self-service analytics to improve risk assessments.
  • Develop machine learning algorithms to cross correlate relationships and predict risk scenarios.
  • Deliver timely reports to all information consumers.

Fraud losses incurred by banks and merchants on all credit, debit, and prepaid general purpose and private label payment cards issued worldwide reached $22.80 billion in 2016.

Whilst banks seek to prevent fraud by analyzing current and historic data, the evolution and complexity of fraud schemes has made existing methods of detection based on subsets of data obsolete.

Syncrasy’s Data Discovery Platform supports a new generation of detection and prediction mechanisms by providing the data architecture and data processing capabilities to consolidate and correlate vast amounts of historical claims data with new data sources, including social media content, clickstreams, web log data and others for real-time detection of fraud and identification of fraudulent patterns.

Specialized banking line of business applications underpin essential day to day operations but typically record data in proprietary and diverse databases making it difficult to cross correlate data.

Legacy DataMart's and ETL systems have helped to aggregate summarized data from multiple applications, but running on expensive proprietary storage platforms these systems are difficult to scale and don’t accommodate today’s types and volumes of data.

Syncrasy’s Data Discovery Platform overcomes these issues by providing the data architecture to quickly, easily and reliably collect, curate, transform, enrich and aggregate ANY data from ANY source.

With the ability to store more data for longer, within and across geographic boundaries, insurers can build true 365º enterprise intelligence.

“If the last epoch in retail banking was defined by a boom-to-bust expansion of consumer credit, the current one will be defined by digital”(McKinsey)

The Challenge


Banks were created to look after all the financial needs of people and businesses, everything from taking deposits to giving loans. As a result, most banks created operations based around products, with vertically integrated processes structured around product based data silo’s. Unfortunately for traditional banks, customers today expect more social and digital interaction and more individual attention, which requires banks to be organised around the customer’s data.

Today’s individual-centered economy will also give way to an everyone-to-everyone (and everything) economy, as Big Data, Analytics, Cloud, Social and Mobile technologies make entirely new operating models possible.

The way forward is to underpin legacy systems that allow banks to:

  • Enable new data-driven business models.
  • Modernize legacy systems.
  • Drive profitable growth through deeper customer insights.
  • Automate and embed risk management and regulatory compliance.
  • Better manage fraud.
  • See the bigger strategic picture with 365º Enterprise views.

Syncrasy’s Acceleration Framework provides the foundation to help banks cost effectively migrate from being vertically to horizontally focused businesses by underpinning legacy systems with a modern COT’s based, highly-available and elastically scalable architecture.

Syncrasy also supports pluggable technologies for building 360º customer and enterprise views, accelerating information retrieval and streamline key processes for cost reduction and compliance management, implementing self-service access to information through the web and mobile devices, layering analytics and building modern cognitive apps.

Whichever way banks choose to meet a changing future, it is clear that restructuring supportive IT infrastructure on mass would be a major undertaking, thwart with risk, business disruption and potential failure. An alternative would be to leverage the modern IT architecture of Syncrasy’s Acceleration Framework to underpin, utilize and extend existing resources.

Enable new data-driven business models


Increasing regulation, mega shifts in technology and changing social behaviors are forcing banks to reappraise the ongoing viability of their business model, and decide how they must innovate to compete and survive.

Whilst the future holds the final outcome, there are probably only limited survival options.

Do Nothing. The problem with doing nothing is that there is a growing number of providers for all banking products and services offering lower prices, easier access and better customer service. Also, legacy software and underlying IT platforms don’t support the capability to change. Doing nothing is probably not an option.

Modernizing legacy systems


Proprietary data warehouses, outdated ETL systems, customer demands for new interactive line of business applications, digital invaders and increasing regulation are threatening the ability of banks to compete and survive.

Whatever go forward data-driven business model options individual banks choose, modernizing their underlying IT systems will be essential.

Syncrasy’s Acceleration Framework offers a cost-effective migration path allowing banks to underpin, utilize and extend existing resources, and leverage those technologies that best fit their elected business model.

Driving profitable growth through deeper customer insights


In an increasingly customer-centric world, the ability to capture and use customer insights to shape products, solutions and the buying experience is critical.

But for most banks building a comprehensive customer profile from isolated data silos, line of business application platforms and customer interaction points is often out of reach.

Few banks can accurately correlate acquisition, cross-sell or upsell success with either their marketing campaigns or customer online browsing behavior.

Having a comprehensive 360-degree view of customer drives down acquisition costs, reduces customer churn and increases lifetime value.

Syncrasy’s Acceleration Framework provides the data architecture and data processing capabilities to consolidate and correlate vast amounts of customer operational data, call center interactions, emails, social media and website interactions to unlock the patterns that help identify customer needs, learn from their behaviors and deliver personalized interactions.

With the ability to store more data for longer and identify distinct phases in customers’ lifecycles coupled with predictive analytics capabilities, banks can build true 360º customer intelligence to help acquire, grow and retain the customers.

Syncrasy enables organizations better understand their customers, deliver contextually relevant experiences, personalized recommendations and targeted offers by correlating behavior, transaction and location data.

Risk management and regulatory compliance


Deployment of multiple product line of business systems, industry mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, out of date ETL systems and legacy data warehouses are all hindering efforts by risk assessment teams to understand whether available data is current, accurate and comprehensive. This lack of reliance on the data generates the potential for losses through miscalculation of risk and regulatory non-compliance through inaccurate capital allocations.

And even though regulatory uncertainty will likely remain a significant and ongoing challenge, most banks must forge ahead with their risk and compliance initiatives.

To succeed, banks need to leverage modern data architectures to embed and automate their risk and compliance initiatives and thereby lower costs, improve efficiency, enhance quality, gain sustainability and have the flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities.

With Syncrasy’s Pluggable data curation, analysis, analytics and machine learning applications, banks can build multiple data pipelines from a trusted “single source of truth” to improve:

  • The quality and accuracy of operational data.
  • Satisfy regulatory and audit requirements.
  • Use self-service analytics to improve risk assessments.
  • Develop machine learning algorithms to cross correlate relationships and predict risk scenarios.
  • Deliver timely reports to all information consumers.

Bank fraud continues to rise


Fraud losses incurred by banks and merchants on all credit, debit, and prepaid general purpose and private label payment cards issued worldwide reached $22.80 billion in 2016 and is predicted to grow to $33 billion annually by 2021.

Add to this fraud from stolen checks, forged and altered cheques, rogue traders, fraudulently obtained loans, wire transfer fraud, empty ATM envelope deposits, identity theft or impersonation, etc., etc., and the numbers explode.

Whilst banks seek to prevent fraud by analyzing current and historic data, the evolution and complexity of fraud schemes has made existing methods of detection based on subsets of data obsolete.

Syncrasy’s Acceleration Framework overcomes these obstacles by providing the data architecture and data processing capabilities to consolidate and correlate vast amounts of data with new data sources including social media content, clickstreams, web log data and others, for real-time detection of fraud and identification of fraudulent patterns.

Syncrasy’ integration of powerful machine learning algorithms, graph, statistics and analytics engines, built to take advantage of modern computing capabilities, significantly improves fruad detection and prevention methods with advanced data science tools.


The importance of a 365º Enterprise Views


Specialized banking line of business applications (account management, money transmissions, mortgages, cards, loans, insurances, CRM, ERP, HR, BI systems etc.) underpin essential day to day operations, marketing and management processes.

However, line of business applications typically record data in proprietary and diverse databases making it difficult to cross correlate data.

Legacy DataMarts and ETL systems have helped to aggregate summarized data from multiple applications, but running on expensive and proprietary storage platforms that require predesigned architectures and sizing make them difficult to scale. Today’s volumes and types of data also don’t fit well into these legacy architectures and constrict banks’ capabilities to build rich and in-depth 365º Enterprise Views.

Syncrasy’s Acceleration Framework overcomes these issues by providing the data architecture to quickly, easily and reliably collect, curate, transform, enrich and aggregate ANY data from ANY source, load the data into modern data architectures according to business needs and then analyze and visualize the cross enterprise data.

With the ability to store more data for longer, within and across geographic boundaries, banks can build true 365º enterprise intelligence.

Become data driven with an enterprise ready platform.
