IDC & Backbase Leadership Banking Insights Forum Discusses Findings on Underperformance of Digital Transformation Projects
Thailand, June 26, 2023 – Backbase, the global leader in Engagement Banking, along with IDC, a global technology market intelligence leader, announce the launch of IDC and Backbase Leadership Banking Insights Forum 2023 - Key Steps to Accelerating Digital Transformation and Digital Differentiation, an in-person series for banking transformation executives in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. The Thailand forum will be held at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit on 29 Jun.
This series launches an IDC Infobrief, sponsored by Backbase, “Accelerating Customer-Centric Transformation by Balancing Build and Buy - A Collaborative Approach toward Sustainable Digital Banking Architecture”, June 2023. The Infobrief unveils data that in-house platform builds have not yielded the desired ROI for banks and is distinctly slower to go-to-market for banks in APAC.
In Bangkok, the forum will feature keynotes and closed-door panel discussions with industry expert Cyrus Daruwala, Managing Director Global Financial Services of IDC, Martin Buchholz, Advisor to Head, Consumer Digital Banking of CIMB Thai Digital Banking, Boonson Jenchaimahakoon, First Senior EVP - IT and Digital of Government Savings Bank, and Backbase’s digital banking transformation experts.
In
the banking industry, especially when it comes to digital banking
architecture, many banks in APAC tend to in-source and build their
platform architecture in-house. Yet many of these banks keep coming
back to the question if their digital transformation has been
effective and has yielded them the ROI, growth, retention, and
preference they envisioned.
“One
of the thorniest questions for banking transformation leaders is
whether to build or buy the digital banking platforms they need. This
Infobrief creates clarity to this dilemma and creates structure to
the decision making process for APAC banks ,” Ashish
Kakar, Research Director of IDC Financial Insights
said. “We will be sharing
data and learnings at the upcoming IDC and Backbase Leadership
Banking Insights Forum to help banking leaders better plan their next
wave of digital transformation.”
This forum series by IDC and Backbase will focus on strategies, learnings, frameworks, and actionable insights pivoting digital banking. The event is structured around pressing business and technology topics, what banks are innovating on and what they are procuring, and unboxes the possibilities in delivering breakthrough and aspired journeys and customer experience such as fast tracking secured loans, cashflow forecasting for business owners, in-app personalization, and digital lifestyle application integration into banking app.
“Backbase has helped 150+ banks
in Asia and the world to modernize digital customer engagement by
re-architecting banking around their customers. We have seen banks
leverage on different platform approaches – build, buy, or adopt
and build, to improve digital customer experience, and we’ve seen
what worked and what didn’t,” Riddhi
Dutta, Regional Vice President, Asia, Backbase
said. “Many banking leaders continue to be on the mission to get
clarity on essential steps to effect better digital transformation,
and this conference series is designed to provide actionable data and
steps to help them pivot digital banking.”
Joining
us onsite in Thailand are Backbase’s ecosystem technology partners
– Entrust as a gold partner and SmartOSC as a silver partner.
