Challenges for Today's Banker
Banks nowadays rely on traditional accounting systems, however traditional systems cannot deliver intelligence about business processes, cost flows and cost drivers. They are also lacking fact based data and even though they may understand that operational costs are too high in a particular area they are unable to analyze those processes across their business or industry. Traditional cost systems cannot allocate nonstandard costs, to a specific customer, product or service that are driving these costs. It’s also hard to determine which customers, products, channels and services are driving the greatest value for your company.
