About FinTech Asia

BRIDGING THE BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY DIVIDE

The integration of business and IT within financial institutions has brought with it a growing appreciation for the strategic importance of financial technology. Today, all aspects of a financial institution are reliant upon some form of technology, from customer service to risk management to product development and rollout. Integrating delivery channels, business continuity and back-end settlement systems all depend on technology and sophisticated business processes. Few understand this better than Asia's most dynamic financial institutions, which are rapidly investing to prepare themselves for aggressive future growth.

As legacy technologies are replaced, institutions find themselves with new opportunities to expand business operations, improve efficiency and derive significant competitive advantage. While the technologies themselves are important, savvy executives realize that the process changes accompanying these investments are even more crucial. New technologies provide opportunities for efficiency, transparency and cost reduction, but there are still questions about how to leverage them to improve business performance. In addition, there are a growing number of regulatory mandates that further challenge institutions to employ technology as part of their compliance regime.

Showcasing some of the best global and regional best practices, this congress will provide a unique opportunity for more than 300 industry peers to gain insight into these and other related issues. Organized by Financial Insights (an IDC Company), FinTech Asia 2006 will focus on the business strategies and technology best practices, which will enable successful institutions to achieve their business objectives, save cost and increase profitability.

This two-day event will showcase thought leaders and practitioners from across the global financial and technology industries and promises to provide delegates with actionable information across a range of compelling topics. The conference will also feature groundbreaking research by our team of Financial Insights analysts concerning emerging financial technologies, the evolution of technology ownership as well as the business value of information technology in financial services institutions.
