NTT DATA on the Role of Innovation in the New Normal Banking at 31st BAIPHIL Convention
Philippines - May 20, 2021 – NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, sponsored the 31st BAIPHIL Virtual Convention with the theme “Responsive & Sustainable Banking in the New Normal.” The three-day convention marked the Bankers Institute of the Philippines’ (BAIPHIL) 80th year anniversary and was attended by over 250 key executive bankers and decision makers across 80 organizations.
In line with NTT DATA’s goals to lead innovation and digital banking in Asia Pacific, NTT DATA Philippines shared the role of innovation in the New Normal and how banks can embrace the digital revolution in banking.
By focusing on transforming the core of their business and leading it into the digital age, banks can become more customer-centric and enhance the value of their products. Customers expect a digital front-end experience from their long-term banks, so offering their customers high-quality web and mobile sites and apps within the current brand allows banks to defend and grow their existing value proposition and sets the scene for improved customer experience and new distribution models.
“We wanted a way for banks to execute on both sides of their digital transformation simultaneously – accelerating digitalization of the existing brand as well as launching new digital propositions that help them compete with digital disruptors. As a matter of priority, we also wanted to address time-to-market. Banks can and should create new digital businesses where the proposition stands up to scrutiny, but they shouldn’t and needn’t be burdened with long delivery times which are costly and risky,” Spencer Chiu, the Solutions Consulting Lead at NTT DATA Philippines, shared during the session.
