4. Macro Priorities
Optimize Capital
From balance sheet planning and performance, to liquidity
management, to IT investments, capital optimization is king
Create Omni-channel Experience
A more consistent customer experience across
all channels and a strong move to mobile
Renew IT Infrastructures
Legacy infrastructure continues to plague performance
Weather Economic Turbulence and Regulation
Find value in uneven markets and make compliance risk a
predictable operating expense.
5. Exceed the expectations of current and targeted
customers
Continually streamline business processes to
achieve profitability, flexibility and adaptability
Maintain constant awareness using analytical
competencies of external and internal events and
risks to better shape strategic decisions and
tactical initiatives
Build in evolving local, country and regional
regulations
An Operational Vantage Point
Continuing Global “Reality”
6. A New Platform for the New Reality
Big data, cloud, mobile and social
technologies will continue to be at the
forefront of discussions between IT and
business professionals at financial
institutions
Together, these technologies form the
foundation of a "Third Platform", which
will allow greater flexibility and agility
While some of these technologies are
further down the maturity and adoption
curve than others, all will be important
components for driving value in 2013
and beyond

Transformation is Happening
Focus on the Desired Outcomes
The increase and sophistication of these disruptive
technologies is highlighting the need for business
model transformation in financial services
Leading this change is ultimately the consumer who
is enabled by mobile technology to dictate when and
how they will interact with the marketplace and
business
This shift has profound implications for institutions in
how they interact with customers, how employees
deliver goods and services, and ultimately how IT
delivers services
8. Regulatory pressures in global business demands financial firms re-think value of the
technologies, data management, and business process used to operate effectively,
compete, and manage risk.
Convergence of intelligent devices, social business, pervasive broadband networking, and
analytics ushers in a new platform for building and servicing relationships between bankers,
customers, partners, and regulators
“Analytics” is the NEWEST Core. Increasingly vital to harness information - make data
actionable, optimized, timely, keep risks at anticipated and acceptable levels, and uncover
opportunities ahead of the competition
IT Reliability and Efficiency increases as risk factor. Age and complexity of systems,
lacking resources and skills for legacy systems , push to reduce costs and meet regulatory
requirements means additional outages, errors, and missteps.
