Forrester: Backbase is one of the "New Breed Engagement Vendors"

Forrester published an interesting report this month, called "The Online Customer Engagement Software Ecosystem" by Stephen Powers.

Backbase present @ Best Practices in Retail Banking, USA

The senior executives who attend the Best Practices gathering have long considered it the premiere gathering of its kind. It's the one industry event that year in and year out - now in its 15th year - has always focused squarely on the issues that a retail banking executive's agenda comprises.

This year, those issues are rather different than in the past. Gone are the days when the asset side of the balance sheet took care of itself and it was enough to puzzle over how to maximize deposit gathering. Now, bankers need to think through what it means to have the 'right' model in branch banking, and where services like personal financial management and mobile banking fit in their consumer strategies. They need to adjust to new regulation in credit businesses even as they look to fill revenue holes left by the absence of overdraft and other fees.

Backbase will demonstrate in a 90 minute session the future of online banking, including demo's and real business cases.
