Clarification on 1/one — in my experience big co is naturally striving for synergies and often target “IT” as it’s seemingly an obvious candidate.
These projects often bare a description such as “ProgramOne”, “Platform1” or 1SomethingAwesome, and is of a “bite of more than you can chew” character.
At least at three of class leading companies I’ve worked, all with 90.000+ employees.
It’s just my disillusionment shining through! :)
I believe we agree — the future holds a merger of tech with business and what I’ve stated above are org failures. That’s true.
IT must not block business, it should expose opportunities and be inherently secure by convention.
Completely agree. And regulators are pushing for this. When.. in retail and SME banking and financial services the future is here, in Europe, but has yet to gain traction and public trust but that's coming quickly. That will be 5 years, change takes time, a long journey for VC money but not too long, they will see returns.
Asia will be slow. NA perhaps slower still. AU might pick up the ball but NZ will be faster if they choose. SG will lag HK because of technical debt in SG. I'm Asia based, not much idea on South America. South Asia are hand-tied by regulation, mainly currency, restrictions, the above regulators will be providing markets with the best retail and SME financial products. A hot place to be, Europe probably hotter coz PSD2.
