Growing cost pressure resulting from the erosion of margins, the digitalisation of banking and increasing compliance requirements are driv- ing forces here. In this interplay, we offer our customers efficient and innovative IT solu- tions, enabling ‘smarter banking’ with the open Finnova ecosystem. The single-source banking solution As a whole package, the Finnova Banking Software offers banks a broad range of functions, enabling consistent data storage and processing, up-to-date interaction with clients and comprehensive data analysis. The Finnova Expert Suite is the core element of the Finnova Banking Software. It contains the Systems of Record, which ensures storage of structured and increasingly unstructured data, and this with sharply rising volumes, high speed and increasing process orientation. The data is provided to the Systems of Engagement (Finnova Channel Suite and Front Suite) and the Systems of Insight (Finnova Management Suite). The Sys- tems of Engagement address customer experience, mobility and context-oriented services and information – with the aim of reinforcing client loyalty to the bank and its services. Last but not least, the Systems of Insight provide analyses concern- ing clients, products and markets as well as in-house procedures – with the aim of continually introducing improvements and innovations and having risks under con- trol at all times. The Finnova Solution Suite enables the opening up of the Finnova Banking Soft- ware not only externally for third-party system, development and service partners, but also internally to ensure the integration of its own applications and suites. This helps create an open ecosystem in which Finnova plays the role of business driver for the Systems of Record while, for the Systems of Engagement and the Systems of Insight, it plays the role of business enabler.
