Customer Intelligence,
Personalisation & Scale
Customer intelligence will be the most important factor for revenue
growth and profitability. Financial institutions are increasingly using
artificial intelligence to deliver highly personalised services. Over
the next decade, we expect artificial intelligence, machine learning,
and behavioural analytics to become the driver of customer
engagements. Financial institutions that invest in big data and
advanced analytics capabilities will be more likely scale quickly
and grasp a competitive edge.
Open
Banking
Changes in data regulations mean that financial institutions are
now required to more openly share their customers’ data with other
providers. Open banking is revolutionising how consumers transact,
save, borrow, lend and invest their money. Open data initiatives
will create more competition within the industry and financial
institutions will have to compete with non-traditional players.
This will fundamentally change the payments value chain, disrupt
traditional business models and increase customer expectations.
Market Forces
5. September 2018 | 05
Market Forces
Digitisation &
the Ecosystem
Financial institutions cannot afford to wait any longer to extract the
potential of digital to industrialise their value chain. They must explore
the new tools at their disposal and build the skills in digital marketing
and analytics necessary to compete effectively. Fintech emergence will
have positive returns for traditional players who embrace disruption
through strategic collaboration. By creating a customer-centric, unified
value proposition that extends beyond what users could previously
obtain, digital leaders are bridging the value chains of various industries
to create “ecosystems” that reduce customers’ costs, increase
convenience and provide them with new experiences.
Digital
Payments
Consumers today are experiencing an explosion of choice when it
comes to paying for their shopping and general purchases. Digital
payment systems have changed the way we manage and pay for
goods and services. Businesses and consumers alike are wanting
faster, safer and more convenient payment methods. Mobile and social
payments, digital currencies and eWallets are becoming widely adopted
as the norm - forcing traditional players to react strategically. The
intersection of new payment technology will require banks to reassess
the way they participate in the payment ecosystem.
6. September 2018 | 06
Business Model Innovation
New profit pools such as customer acquisition, customer advice
and technology services will grow faster than the traditional banking
book and yield higher margins than holding loans and deposits on the
balance sheet. Forward-looking financial institutions recognise that
alternative business models present an opportunity to break into new
markets, acquire new customers while retaining existing customer
relationships. Models likely to prevail include:
1. Aggregation: Aggregate customer interactions across multiple
financial institutions in one place, to enable ease of doing business
and increase convenience.
2. Embedded Component Experiences: Set up a branded
experience embedded in other companies’ online platforms.
3. Digital Pure Play: The economics of a digital pure play look like a
traditional financial institution, offering a lower cost base thanks to little
or no physical distribution, and collects fees from the providers who fill
out the growing ecosystem of services.
Macro Environment
Banks will likely have to accelerate partnerships with fintechs, retailers
or large technology firms. Investment in emerging technologies such
as artificial intelligence, application programming interfaces (APIs), and
blockchain will underpin and drive innovation and competitiveness.
Alongside the technology aspects, an ever-changing and uncertain
regulatory climate will remain a challenge. Financial institutions
should be scenario planning for Brexit and be prepared for a lengthy
disentanglement of the UK from the EU. Ethical consciousness will
continue to play a huge role in strategy planning as customers continue
to demand brands to be more ethical, more sustainable, and more
diverse and inclusive.

Improve Customer Intelligence with Big Data
The other solutions were up to many times
more expensive than Pivotal Greenplum and
did not meet our requirements in terms of
storage capacity and computing power for
high-speed loading. Pivotal Greenplum was
the right data warehouse solution to meet
our existing and future needs.
Ming Zhang,
Vice President,
China CITIC Bank Credit Card Center
Challenge
China CITIC Bank identified the need for a centralised, highly-scalable
data warehouse solution that could integrate with the bank’s existing
CRM and BI solutions.
China CITIC Bank was running disparate systems and a physical
hardware platform designed for supporting single applications, which
significantly delayed access to customer data. Adding to the challenge,
the bank was using a tape storage solution to meet regulatory
requirements – but data extraction was slow and difficult to scale.
Solution
Our team developed an enterprise data warehouse solution for the
bank that provides architecture for data loading and parallel query
processing to support operational, tactical and strategic business
intelligence (BI) activities across the company. The solution design
seamlessly integrated with the bank’s existing solutions and systems.
The bank was able streamline its minimum delivery time – reducing it
from 2 weeks to 2-3 days. Our solution also enabled the bank to gain
up to 40 times Return on Investment (ROI).

Significant Cost Savings with Platform Integration
Boomi AtomSphere allowed Burroughs to
integrate multiple disparate systems and
alleviate multiple manual processes into a
simplistic automated solution that is easy to
maintain and understand.
Terrill Rust,
National Project Manager,
Marlin Investments
Challenge
Burroughs offers its customers access to world class service, industry
leading technology, and overall support for a portfolio of payment
related needs. The payments systems company was undergoing
a massive system reorganisation that involved the reduction of 52
different systems to three distinct platforms. Dell Technologies helped
Burroughs eliminate significant costs in their business by integrating
business-critical applications and consolidating legacy systems.
Solution
The time urgency of completing the systems integrations at Burroughs
was critical in order to eliminate a significant upcoming cost. Our app
integration platform made it possible to efficiently streamline business
processes and targeted service level agreement times, helping reduce
the number of systems. The combination of Boomi’s quick design
infrastructure, multiple connector suite, and robust management
console coupled with certified consultants, allowed Burroughs
to recognise an immediate cost savings of $430,000 in the first
month. Over the upcoming year Burroughs will ultimately save
over $5,160,000 in legacy systems costs.
Results:
→ Reduction of 52 systems to 3
distinct platforms
→ Immediate cost savings of $430,000

Challenge
A large multinational Bank and Financial Services provider in the UK
worked closely with Dell Technologies to consolidate data silos and
modernise traditional reporting tools to gain a complete view of their
customers, access to external data and apply modern analytics to
their business.
Solution
Dell Technologies data advisory services helped the bank define a
data strategy roadmap and implemented the Dell Technologies Data
Platform. Within less than a year, the bank was able to on-board all
3,000 data analytics experts across the bank. As part of the results,
the bank was able to realise a cost-avoidance savings of $4.1 million
on incremental compute storage infrastructure investment over
3 years and additional significant OPEX savings in reduced staffing,
facility footprint.
This customer has been anonymised for confidentiality and discretion purposes.
Results:
→ $4.1M cost savings over a period

Reducing Cost whilst Improving Customer Experience
Challenge
Easy Buy is one of Thailand’s leading consumer financial services
companies. Easy Buy needed to enhance its service delivery to
consumers and improve employee experience. The company explored
new technologies that could improve the functioning of its three main
datacentres located in Bangkok and Rayong province. With over 2
million customers nationwide, the focus was on improving customer
experience with seamless anytime, anywhere, any device access.
EASY BUY wanted to fast track its IT deployments by switching to
a software defined IT infrastructure model that could replace its
traditional IT model of manually managing and maintaining each server.
The model was not only cumbersome but highly inefficient with large
costs and downtime that made operations extremely slow, alongside a
large probability of human errors.
Results:
→ Reduced system errors by at least 3 times
→ Enabled employees to be 2 times more
efficient
→ Reduced required physical datacentre
space by 50%
→ Realised 30% energy savings
→ Reduced software requests from
1 day to 2 hours
Cost Reduction
Solution
To improve business agility and flexibility to better support the
‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) environment, EASY BUY needed
solutions that allowed employees to use their personal smart phones
and devices to access work applications anywhere, anytime. EASY
BUY leveraged VMware’s virtualisation expertise to deploy soft
phone applications that allowed employees to access the softphone
anywhere, anytime, by simply logging in on the web browser. The
application was run on the cloud and helped the company significantly
reduce its phone spends.
Virtualisation reduced the system errors by at least three times,
enabling employees to be twice as productive. The virtualised
infrastructure enabled EASY BUY to improve the service speed to
customers and increase customers’ satisfaction. Today, the loan
approval process takes only 30 minutes. Easybuy also require 50% less
space for physical datacentres and 30% energy savings, making the
company far more efficient and effective. Instead of taking whole day,
it takes only 2 hours to provide software to employees as a service.

Protecting Data and Revenue Streams
Challenge
With data assets growing rapidly due to several mergers and
acquisitions, WSFS Bank was struggling to complete backups of
critical banking applications. This often impacted production systems
during business hours, affecting the customer experience. Limited
backup capacity and performance also meant that WSFS archived
backups onto removable media stored offsite, which delayed fulfilling
customer requests. To address the situation, WSFS turned to Dell
Technologies for a comprehensive business continuity and data
protection solution.
Solution
With Dell Technologies, WSFS reduced backup times by 30%,
eliminating performance slowdowns during high-volume production
hours, and gained continuous availability of critical applications.
Ultimately, the Dell Technologies solution helps WSFS deliver
exemplary customer service while protecting its reputation and
revenue streams.
WSFS gained a new level of data protection. Backups now complete
nightly without affecting production hours. With continuous data
protection capabilities, the bank is able to minimise data loss, optimise
recovery time objectives, and ensure rapid recovery of interdependent
business-critical applications.
Results:
→ Reduced backup times by 30%,
→ Reduced time spent on back up
from 12.5 per week to 5 hours
→ Reduced recovery times from
weeks to 15 minutes

Lilach Bar David,
CEO,
Pepper (Deloitte)2
Challenge
Some of the world’s most disruptive, innovative and technologically
advanced businesses are born in Israel. Bank Leumi is one of Israel’s
oldest banking corporations, and they recognised the need to move
faster to deliver innovative banking in competitive markets. The bank
wanted people not just to use its services, but to love their bank.
Solution
In order to best serve their clients, the bank needed to transform
legacy IT infrastructure and slow processes which were ultimately
holding the business back. Bank Leumi had a vision to create a fully
transparent account management, money transfer and investment
experience that could be managed all from a mobile device. The bank
created a new digital banking platform, Pepper, based on a hybrid
cloud, and a software-defined data centre. Bank Leumi is now able
to offer clients high performing, high quality products and remain a
market leader in of the most competitive startup environments in the
world.
Dell Technologies worked with the bank to develop a vision of the
digital bank strategy to meet objectives. The bank chose a hybrid
cloud model powered by Dell EMC and was able to move existing
core banking applications to the new cloud platform. This enabled
Results:
→ Customers can onboard from home

→ New datacentre comes online in 3 months
instead of 2 years
→ Code goes into production in hours, not

ANZ BanK
Challenge
ANZ Bank is committed to extending customer service beyond the
desks, landline phones and even the physical walls of traditional
banking. Mobile banking is an important part of this commitment.
Customer expectations are changing and clients increasingly expect to
be able to complete complex transactions with financial professionals
using digital solutions. They also expect to be able to exert more and
more influence and control over their interactions with their financial
institution. Likewise, employees expect mobility to be a part of their
working lives. That is why ANZ chose to collaborate with VMware
AirWatch to make tools and apps available on mobile devices and to
fully participate in the digital banking revolution.
Solution
ANZ’s bankers now are enabled to virtually ‘travel’ to meet their
customers wherever they are – on the Internet, on their smartphones,
at their homes and businesses or at digitally–enabled spaces within a
bank. ANZ can now meet customers anywhere, from their businesses
to the internet.

Challenge
The rise of Internet banking has also changed the financial landscape.
A bank’s competition is no longer just the bank down the street;
it’s banks all over the world. Yapi Kredi, one of the largest banks in
Turkey, recognised this emerging threat and began to evaluate their
communication and collaboration tools. Upon review of their Lync
services, Yapi Kredi found that there were limits as to the number of
people who could be on a Lync call. Yapı Kredi management wanted
to have all-company meetings with 19,260 employees on the audio
conference. Additionally, many employees felt that video conferencing
in Lync Server 2010 was not easy to use. Employees who needed to
communicate with individuals or partners who were not on Lync had
to use third-party conferencing and instant messaging services that
were not authorised by the corporate IT department.
Solution
Yapi Kredi now uses Skype for Business to enhance communication
and collaboration amongst employees. The bank’s management team
can now address 19,260 employees at once using this solution, and
teams can have virtual meetings that are enriched with real-time
video, instant messaging, and screen-sharing. The bank safeguards
sensitive data across all communications channels and has a lower-
cost infrastructure.
Results:
→ Increased efficiency and connect

America who suffered a sophisticated attack on its ATM network.
More than 2,000 machines were attacked in one weekend, resulting in
a loss of more than $7 million dollars.
Solution
Dell Technologies worked with the customer to help create an
analytics environment that would enable them to protect their
geographically dispersed network of nearly 50,000 machines from
future attacks.
Dell Technologies consultants integrated non-structured data from
over 700 sensors on each ATM and overlaid it with structured data,
created statistical models, and advanced analytics to embed predictive
alerts into the bank’s existing monitoring systems. The Retail Bank
used Dell Technologies Data Platform to incrementally scale it’s data
capability for new use cases, data sources and data growth.
Results:
→ Annual cost avoidance of
$10-$20M lost to fraud
→ Protects over 50,000
global ATM machines
Our team made recommendations for process improvements to
collect sensitive data to comply with industry regulations. The solution
generated intelligence to prevent future ATM attacks and other types
of fraud.
The new integrated analytics platform can serve as a ‘Data Lake’,
where data and analytics can be added for new use cases. For
example, to analyse video from branch surveillance cameras, optimise
cash distribution optimisation, or strengthen security. The potential
cost avoidance of implementing the big data strategy and platform
resulted in $10-$20 million lost to fraud per year.

Strengthen Compliance Capabilities
Challenge
DZ Bank chose Dell Technologies to strengthen its compliance
capabilities. The bank was looking to protect employees’ values
and information from potential threats to ensure the integrity and
reputation of the business. Previously, security was not centrally
organised, creating silos and inconsistencies across the bank.
Solution
The Dell Technologies RSA Archer solution provided a unified view
of all security-related work for management and compliance. Dell
Technologies equipped DZ Bank with an efficient, collaborative
enterprise governance, risk and compliance (eGRC) programme across
business units, including: policy, risk, compliance, enterprise, incident,
vendor, threat, business continuity and audit management.
The solution enabled the bank to act in a timely manner and quickly
report to the board and incident response teams, and minimise
disruption for staff and customers. The bank is now able to directly
report key metrics to the board of directors, including the status
of tests, and open measures or major incidents. This information
is also used for quarterly and yearly security reports for selected
stakeholders, ensuring a compliant bank.
Results:
→ Reduced the time to create a business
continuity plan from 3 months to a few
minutes
→ Able to designate time-critical processes
with just a few clicks.
→ Reduce audit
Implementing RSA Archer was our first step
to ISO 22301 certification. This certification
enabled us to meet compliance standards
and significantly reduce our audit activities
each year. At the moment DZ BANK is the
only bank in Germany that is ISO 22301
certified. Without RSA Archer it would
have required more expenditure to reach
the certification.”

Protecting Customer Data With Advanced Data Analytics
Challenge
Global payments leader Mastercard wanted to use predictive analytics
to study customer purchase patterns and behaviour in order to derive
valuable new insights. It needed an analytics environment with the
scale to deal 2.2 billion hours worth of data. At the same time, it
required the highest levels of security to protect this sensitive personal
and financial data.
Solution
Mastercard worked with Dell Technologies companies to build a secure
PCI-certified Hadoop cluster to enable data analytics. The solution
has increased security and fraud protection, via analysing customer
purchasing patterns, affinities and rhythms using machine learning. It
has also helped drive business value from anonymised data on share
of wallet compared to competition, average spend, and purchase
frequency. This helps Mastercard to identify marketing opportunities
and measure return on investment – while protecting its sensitive data.
Data privacy and protection is a top priority
for Mastercard. As we maximise the most
advanced technologies from partners and
vendors, they must meet the rigorous
security standards we’ve set.

The financial services industry is being disrupted like no other and
the days of traditional banking are over. With brand giants like Apple,
Amazon, Google and Facebook all making moves in the finance
industry, incumbents are having to rethink their business models in
order to compete with huge consumer bases, highly agile and scalable
platforms and strong brand loyalty. If traditional players remain pure-
play commodity, they are at risk of losing the customer relationship to
tech giants who have the capability to provide banking-as-a-service.
Financial institutions are now leveraging digital and emerging
technologies to create new business models, exploring how they
can get closer to the client and own the relationship. In many cases,
this may mean entering strategic partnerships, or even creating their
own fintech.
The emergence of fintech, open banking, and digital payments is forcing financial
institutions to rethink their business in order to thrive in a disruptive economy

Models
1. User-Centric Design
User-centric design ensures software solves a real problem
by creating a desirable and usable product. User interviews,
ethnographic studies, persona definition and prototype
creation leads to industry-leading products.
2. Iterative Development
Building working software at a consistent speed
and quality in the face of changing requirements.
The practice of short iterations encourages a
‘fail-fast’ culture great for innovation.
3. Continuous Improvement
Reduce the risk of building the wrong
thing while comfortably changing direction.
Make data-driven decisions by creating
Minimum Viable Products, lean experiments
and identifying and testing assumptions.
The Pivotal approach unifies development, design, and product
management to create high-value products. In addition to strategic
business advice and planning, Pivotal Labs practitioners work
alongside financial institutions to enable them with expertise in
these three key areas:

Each workday begins with a
brief team stand-up meeting to
discuss what you did yesterday,
and what you plan to do today.
2. Plan
Team members
collaborate to clarify items
and ensure consistency.
3. Iteration
The product manager
oversees prioritisation, while
prototypes are managed by
the designer. Throughout,
user research eliminates
unnecessary features.
4. Retrospective
The team meets weekly
to decompress, identify
issues, and discuss areas
for improvement, leading
to iterative improvement.
6. Pairing
Pair two developers to work
together at the same computer
to complete each task. As pairs
rotate, knowledge is spread
rapidly through the team,
avoiding silos of knowledge
and allowing for team growth.
5. Test-driven
Write tests that assert the
application can do what we
want it to do. A piece of code
or functionality isn’t done until
it passes the test.

2. Accelerate Speed-to-Market
Dell Technologies company, Pivotal, enable financial institutions to move fast and innovate
quickly to deploy new services and create new business models. By focusing on the below
four key areas, Pivotal provide digital transformation solutions to financial institutions to drive
innovation and growth.
The financial services industry is moving faster toward a software-
driven future. To differentiate their business, financial institutions are
having to write more software than ever before. In most cases, this is
very new to traditional players, who historically haven’t been software
developers. In addition, tolerance for downtime is plummeting, and
security has never been more important. Under this backdrop, financial
institutions are evaluating ways to stay competitive and grow their
digital business in order to stay relevant. Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF)
is a cloud platform engineered to deliver a single software platform to
run an enterprise capable of scaling to support hundreds of IT teams
and thousands of applications. PCF allows financial institutions to
continuously deliver any app to every major private and public cloud
with a single platform. By focusing on four key areas of Developer
Productivity, Operator Efficiency, Comprehensive Security and
High Availability, PCF enables financial institutions to streamline
their software development processes, increase time-to-market,
secure the business and enhance customer experience.

Transforming a 200+ year-old Bank into a Fintech
Results:
→ Created a fintech within a large
historically traditional bank
→ End-to-end ownership of projects
→ Agile development culture
→ Highly productive developer teams
With financial startups cropping up in every corner of the world, no
big bank can afford not to innovate. Citi recognised a need to change
the way they do business. In order to thrive in a disruptive economy,
Citi decided to join the disruption. To truly scale the new skills, tools
and mindsets, needed to act like a startup Citi needed a radical new
team, Citi FinTech, to lead the way and mould Citi into the bank of
the future. Citi enlisted Pivotal to foster a knowledge sharing culture,
create an agile development team and ultimately enable Citi to react
to consumer demands and remain competitive against new
disruptive entrants.
Brad Miller, Head of Global Digital Cloud Technology at Citi, leads
the team pioneering the next phase of Citi’s consumer banking mobile,
tablet, and internet products and the underlying platforms. He is
responsible for executing Citi’s next-generation platform and cloud
vision through the delivery of digital products and services supporting
Citi’s FinTech, credit card and retail bank units. Miller recognised you
can’t move fast at a company with a big, interdependent platform;
business agility is achieved by teams that are empowered to plan,
build, ship, and run their applications or services all by themselves. But
you don’t get there overnight, this takes time and dedication to ensure
the right cultural shift.
Our charter isn’t just to make ourselves
successful but to build the templates that
enable other teams inside Citi, to be able to
pick up the learnings and accelerate their
growth so that we can help everybody be
successful and provide our customers the
best experiences, as fast as possible.
Brad Miller,
Head of Global Digital and Cloud Technology,
Citi
Putting engineers in close proximity to other members of the
organisation emboldened Miller and his team, which he describes as
“super excited to be able to unleash their own potential on building
software the way in which they’ve dreamed”. A big part of beginning
to innovate requires trust and cooperation, which Miller says Citi is
achieving by merging the planning and development processes: “The
development team is working with the business, as one cohesive unit
that is incentivised on a week-by-week, sprint-by-sprint, release-by-
release cadence to own everything end-to-end internally and drive
that autonomy to that team.

Scotiabank is a 185 year old bank offering personal and commercial
banking, wealth management, private banking, corporate and investment
banking and capital markets through a global team of 90,000 bankers.
When it came to competing in an ever-more-disruptive industry,
Scotiabank recognised the need to transform their business.
The bank was challenged with a number of obstacles that was slowing
down their time-to-market. Developers were unable to reuse code,
release processes could take from days to weeks, and too many people
were involved. Teams were optimised for organisational hierarchy.
Infrastructure had lengthily provisioning times and this all equated to
time, complexity, and increased cost.
To overcome these obstacles and mitigate risk of losing out to
competition due to delayed time-to-market, Scotiabank set up a product
software company within the business. They focused on hiring a new
team of 60 to deliver their vision of being an API driven bank. In order
to create this vision of an API-driven bank, Scotiabank needed a
platform that developers loved, that was simple, secure, reliable
and compliant for a bank.
Scotiabank had five requirements:
1. Go to production in 4 months
2. Enable daily code releases
3. Be secure and compliant for a bank
4. Scale to 100s of developers in multiple geographies
5. Run on cloud and integrate with legacy systems

APIs Platform Integration
Today’s best financial institutions are distinguished by data-driven
business and personalised customer engagement. The gap is
widening between those that can quickly capitalise on their data for
digital transformation and laggards that struggle with disconnected
application silos. Leading institutions use agile integration to solve key
challenges, from growing share of wallet and keeping pace with fintech
startups, to orchestrating seamless MA transitions.
With the introduction of Payments Service Directive 2 (PSD2),
financial institutions are being mandated to open Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) in payment systems. This has spurred
a new wave of innovation and competition in financial markets.
Consumers might continue to deposit their funds with their long-
trusted financial institution, but we are already seeing consumers rely
on, trust and pay service fees to fintech startups
that leverage data integration to gain visibility into and control
over those funds.
This regulation brings about plenty of opportunity for industry players,
old and new. Financial institutions are developing and implementing
new marketing strategies, launching new products and services, and
re-defining and re-invigorating their brands. In order to do this, they
cannot afford to have their IT teams get bogged down in laborious
custom-coding initiatives. Incumbent banks cannot outrun start-ups
while tangled up in code. They need fast, low-code or even no-code
platforms for data integration, so that their data integration can move
in lock-step with their strategic insights and market manoeuvres.
Trusted by more than 5,800 organisations, the Boomi platform
provides financial services companies with a market-leading
set of integration and data management capabilities including
across these key offerings:
1. API Management
Centrally create, publish and manage APIs and web services,
extending access across a growing number of applications.
2. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Management

Mobile Workforce
The workforce demographic is changing. An ageing workforce coupled
with younger team members having more spending power than
ever before and a gig economy that challenges the need to be ‘loyal’
to a company are causing financial institutions to respond to these
workforce demands in order to attract and retain the best talent.
The financial services industry has long conformed to traditional and
outdated practices, etiquettes and standards. The ‘presenteeism’
culture, long working hours and work-over-the-weekend expectations
have long driven a lack of work-life balance in the industry. Changing
workforce demographics and labour demands are forcing companies
to adapt and change this behaviour. As technology has advanced,
there is no longer a need to be in the office 24/7 but if anything,
technology has only encouraged the need to be ‘always-on’. 53% said
they would rather have flexible working opportunities over a 5% pay
rise.6
Happy employees drives productivity. Higher productivity drives
revenue. Agile productivity tools enable financial institutions to equip
their workforce with the necessary tools and devices to do their jobs
anywhere, anytime, from any device. Evolving the workforce around
digital and automation is now more important than ever. The nature of
work is changing and financial institutions are shifting towards a more
diverse workforce, to include the use of robots, ‘gig economy’
models and crowd-sourcing of labour activities.
An agile talent pool may include automation and partner organisations.
Even customers can become a valuable workforce resource, in
scenarios like peer-to-peer advice and reviews, crowd-sourcing of
concepts, or social promotion.
Having the right workforce model will enable financial institutions to
be more productive and competitive with collaboration and social
platforms becoming a workplace tool. Dell Technologies, uses persona
matching to provide the right device, to the right person, at the
right time. Whether it is online, mobile or instant messaging, having
actionable insights at the fingertips of your workforce allows financial
institutions to service the workforce of tomorrow.

Dell EMC Merger Workforce Transformation
As with any merger, along with great opportunity, the Dell and EMC
merger posed many challenges to the business - bringing together
two companies with distinct networks, legacy infrastructure, different
applications and services resulting in two distinct IT experiences that
needed to be unified. Connecting across the network gap created
significant challenges with collaboration and multiple applications and
application versions meant that there was confusion around what to
use and when. All of these challenges were reflected in the significant
gaps between the Dell and EMC IT Survey responses.
Understanding the need to not only merge two large enterprises for
seamless integration and collaboration between workforces, but also
to enable modern and digital ways of working, the newly formed Dell
EMC began the journey to become a connected workplace to drive
an increase to productivity and staff satisfaction. The objective of this
programme is to empower team members with flexible work options
that lead to productivity gains and greater employee retention levels.
The programme is focussed in three areas to transition the business
from using fragmented tools to becoming a connected workplace:
1. Workplace
Innovation
(Facilities)
3. Digital
Experience
(IT)
2. Flexible
Work
(HR)
In 2016, Dell and EMC merged in the largest tech merger in history
and embarked on a journey to create One Dell, One Experience and
enable seamless working for all team members

One Dell, One Experience
1. Working Styles - Persona Mapping
2. Integration to enable frictionless working
3. Modernise and Simplify
1. Understanding different working styles - Persona Mapping
Dell EMC analysed its diverse and global workforce and developed
a common set of workplace personas across Dell and EMC staff.
These personas mapped the different workforce workstyles which
align to: office, mobile and home. The analysis covered an initial
set of 300 interviews across all business units and was followed by
thousands of surveys to validate findings. By effectively mapping
technology solutions to people based on their needs and work styles,
Dell identified how they could enhance the employee experience and
improve productivity. Additionally, every quarter Dell EMC send a
survey to up to 15,000 team members across the globe to assess their
satisfaction with key services along with workstyle information.
2. Integration to enable frictionless working
Bridging the infrastructure and culture gaps between Dell and EMC
was a major factor. Collaboration across legacy companies was
particularly difficult with different tools and different networks. The
strategy developed to ensure that the combined company would
benefit from the better of the legacy technologies in each category
and this was determined through employee satisfaction surveys aimed
at identifying the ease of use and user-friendly aspects of tasks such
as scheduling meetings, sending emails, connecting remotely, internal
network performance, requesting IT resources, among others. An
example of this integration is the merging of Skype instances. Dell and
EMC previously ran two separate Skype platforms. This programme
implemented the integration and consolidation onto a single Skype
platform with the same audio number set across the combined
company. This allowed for ease of access to meetings for all team
members.
As part of this initiative there were three main workstreams to drive synergies and greater
levels of integration between Dell and EMC and ultimately create a best-in-class digital
workplace experience:
Mobile Workforce
3. Digital workplace programmes In order to simplify and
modernise, Dell EMC defined six workplace focus areas, that included
the following:
1. Seamless Everything allows team members to automatically connect
to apps and services on or off the network without needing the RSA
Secure ID.
2. Cloud Productivity moves Dell’s productivity tools for the cloud
where they could be accessed on any device at any time with
consistent experience.
3. Unified Conferencing delivers one tool for any device for
conferencing with a one click group joining experience.
4. Dell wants to provide the best hardware (desktops or laptops) for
team members combined with powerful software Windows 10.
5. Mobility Redefined is a custom app that allows mobile records to
carry out the most frequent day to day tasks on their smart phones.
6. Contemporary Support- premium quality work up support
experiences in the office as well as remotely over video.

Automation is revolutionising the financial services industry.
Benefits such as faster time-to-market, improved cross-selling
efforts, improved targeting of new customers, and competitive
advantage over peers are proving high returns for financial
institutions who have already started to invest in automation
technology. Machine learning, Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
and Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities pose great
opportunities for financial institutions to capitalise on automation
whether it is for cost savings initiatives or to drive revenue growth.
Financial institutions around the world are at the beginning of
a workforce revolution. With intelligent automation capabilities
cropping up every day, the industry must equip their existing
workforce with the necessary tools and skills to integrate
with machine intelligence, prepare hiring managers to recruit
the next generation of talent, and ultimately modernise their
IT landscape to deal with new high-power technologies.
In order to succeed, financial institutions must strike a fine balance
between the efficient interactions of their people, processes
and technology – whether handling back-office operations,
working with business partners, or serving customers. Financial
institutions must transform processes and improve ability to
meet the needs of increasingly more demanding customers.
This is enabled by removing manual complexity from business
processes, whilst still involving people wherever they are needed.
Enabling integration and workflow automation can speed up multi-
step approval processes for loans, mortgages, credit cards and
insurance. Financial institutions can build in robust controls and
visibility across all stakeholders to reduce costs and mitigate risk.
Dell Technologies Boomi Flow provides a low-code development
platform to create customer journeys and automate simple and
sophisticated workflows to efficiently drive your business.
The advantages of an automated
business process:
→ Error-free transactions and
streamlined processes
→ Process scalability and fail-over
→ Share integration processes and
components with team members
→ Ensure non-stop operations by
configuring automatic retries
→ Stay informed through
alerts and notifications

Internet of things
Internet of Things (IOT)
Connecting the physical world with the digital world, The Internet of Things (IoT)
provides an immense amount of opportunity for financial institutions. Traditionally
challenged by the intangibility of services, the financial services industry now has
a way to make things more ‘real’.
Financial institutions can leverage IoT not only with the realm of the
financial services ecosystem but also within the market which they
do business. Deploying sensors on to the tangible aspects where
financial services impact will enable financial institutions to gather
information about those companies, processes and products to
yield insight and inform decisions. In fact, in some cases, where IoT
is particularly mature, financial institutions could tap into existing
IoT networks – for example, retail, manufacturing and agriculture.
In terms of consumer-based financial services, there are now
billions of connected devices where, the majority of us, now
access our bank accounts. This, coupled with the introduction
of open banking, enables financial institution and non-
financial new entrants to have a real-time view of consumer
finances and offer more personalised services to clients.
Support
Deploy sensors to premises/products to monitor activity. Data
gathered here can demonstrate the productivity ratio of a
company and enable more informed decisions for investors
and lenders interested in a particular business. This could
be applied to investment in retail or agricultural businesses
or even appraisals of homes for mortgage approval.
Introduction
Open banking has allowed consumers to relinquish their data to new
companies offering highly personalised services. Particularly with the
younger demographic, this has allowed new, user-friendly investment
options like, Cleo10
, a wealth management assistant or Moneybox11
.
Moneybox is a mobile savings and investment app that rounds up
digital ‘spare change’ and puts it into a Stocks Shares ISA.
Biometrics
The use of biometrics will move beyond the ‘basics’ of facial and
voice recognition. Connected devices will be leveraged to use
intelligent, highly personalised access and identification protocols
like typing dynamics, keystroke biometrics, how a user moves
their mouse or scrolls a touch screen. This will improve security,
mitigate risk of fraud and heighten trust among consumers.
Dell Technologies IoT Demo Lab
Dell Technologies provides an interactive demo to retailers to illustrate
how IoT solutions can deliver value. We work alongside financial
institutions to test on a trial site, with a view to widening the rollout
once efficiencies have been demonstrated in certain parts of the bank.

De-Risk Investment
Decisions with IoT
Mitigating risk is at the top of every financial institution’s agenda,
particularly when it comes to making investment or loan decisions.
IoT provides new capabilities for financial institutions to approach
these decisions by tapping into the tangible aspects of an
investment opportunity.
The retail, agriculture, automotive, manufacturing, logistics and
property industries are all using IoT to make significant advancements
in how they do business. With devices, sensor technology and
analytics capabilities, these business are able to monitor activity
and in turn use those insights to enhance productivity, improve
efficiencies and ultimately reduce cost.
The below two case studies outline how Dell Technologies’ clients
Aerofarms and Chitale Dairy are leveraging IoT to enhance their
business and as a result are able to demonstrate their value and
progress to investors:

Harvesting insights
Sustainable agriculture business AeroFarms is bringing
new levels of precision and productivity to farming in its an
attempt to curve some of the macro challenges facing the
planet and our population (loss of water and arable land,
population growth), AeroFarms engaged Dell Technologies to
develop IoT architecture and technology recommendations,
define use cases, and build implementation roadmaps.
In the company’s innovative indoor vertical farm, sensors and
cameras in the aeroponic growing systems gather data on
everything from moisture and nutrients to light and oxygen. The
sensors capture data about the operating and growing environment
and send it to the Dell platform. Information is then relayed over
the farm network, making it available for monitoring and analysis.
AeroFarms is growing its machine learning capabilities with Dell
Technologies. The goal is to automate the analytics processes
that help the company’s scientists identify patterns in the images
and data generated by the growing system. This will enable a
higher order of intelligence and more complex decision-making.
An example is real-time quality control that takes into account
even more diverse types of data, including machine data,
historical growing data, environmental data and quality data.
One project focused on improving real-time quality control
through multi-spectral imaging of grow trays. Special cameras
with integrated structured light scanners send data to the Dell
platform, which creates 3D topological images of each grow
tray. When an anomaly is detected, the system sends an alert
to operators on the farm floor. Ultimately, this project gives
AeroFarms the potential to increase yields and further improve
its ability to optimise the nutritional content of its produce.

Results:
→ 390 times greater productivity annually
than a commercial field farm
→ Uses 95% less water
→ Short supply chain enables reduced spoilage
→ Easily track produce from farm to fork
→ Low-impact supply chain on the environment

IoT Solutions
As more data continues to pour in from ever-multiplying sensors
and devices, many companies are struggling with sluggish networks
or smart systems as they attempt to send every bit of data to the
cloud or data centre for analysis. These difficulties are exacerbated
by legacy equipment that doesn’t share information, as well as
the risks of cyberattack and data loss. Network latency is also a
challenge, especially for situations requiring real-time response.
In response to these challenges, Dell Technologies have developed
IoT solutions that bridge the gap between information technology
(IT) and operations technology (OT) with optimised gateways –
devices at the edge of the network that aggregate, help qualify
and relay data. Dell Technologies offer end-to-end IoT expertise to
develop the flexible, affordable and network-friendly solutions for
IoT. In addition to unprecedented security features, the Dell solution
is customisable, and interoperable, so financial institutions have
the freedom to architect an IoT ecosystem that meets specific
industry needs – and maximises the value of existing equipment.
Dell has partnered with dozens of other innovative
technology companies in creating the IoT Solutions Partner
Programme to help financial institutions be at the forefront
of the opportunities posed by The Internet of Things. Dell
Technologies have developed the following IoT solutions:
