Content led consulting for the financial sector

As financial sector specialists, we understand today's business challenges and dynamic market conditions demand effective solutions based on a blend of innovation in ideas and technology.

We believe the three main challenges for institutions in the financial sector are:

Staying in business

Recent history, with the demise of several household names in finance through poor risk management and major scandals, means an increased focus on regulatory, compliance and risk issues for firms. To survive you need to address multiple areas where we can assist, such as:

• Risk: Understanding, measuring and managing risk including liquidity risk
• Tackling market abuse/insider trading: Understand more about this area including survey

Attracting and retaining profitable clients

The competition for good clients continues to increase, as does the baseline level required for service and improved response times. How can companies differentiate themselves to keep ahead of the competition? They need to look to new and innovative ways of addressing this challenge.

• MPI Interactive: Making social networking on the web work for you

Doing more with less

In current market conditions, the management of financial institutions face a paradox. They are being asked to do more - whether it is higher volume trading, faster payments or more intrusive risk and regulatory initiatives - but at a lower cost, reduced "time to market" and lower support overhead. These combined mean that the "traditional" solutions often are no longer relevant and alternatives must be investigated.

• Software as a Service: e.g. radical process improvement for asset management
• fasterAPPS: a low risk way to better performing financial applications
