Banking & Insurance
The financial sector is facing a variety of complex challenges from tighter regulations, unstoppable digitalization, and increasing competition from start-ups and technology companies. At the same time, outdated IT systems and historically evolved processes are often slowing down rapid change. With our many years of experience, we can help you master these challenges and gain a competitive advantage over your competitors.
The pressure for change is
greater than ever before.
Banks and insurance companies must be much more consistent in their focus on customer needs and keep pace with agile competition. Hence, it is important to realize your growth potential in this challenging environment and transform yourself into an integrated financial services provider using today's technology. This offers you a number of opportunities, such as the revival of branch business with new, innovative concepts, industry 4.0 in corporate banking or insurance, personal finance management, payment transactions of the future, prospects for digitized insurance sales, private banking and wealth management, the step to an agile bank / insurance company or partnerships with FinTech / InsurTech companies. The use of data in advisory and internal operational excellence is key. As an independent Swiss consulting firm, AWK supports you in this process and helps you at the interface between IT, Legal, Operations and Business. One part of this change is always the increasing need for data and infrastructure protection. Accordingly, AWK offers you additional expertise in information security, cybersecurity and data protection.
In addition to the AWK core services, we offer you
industry-specific expertise:
Banking Transformation
In complex change processes, our consultants support you as experts, project managers and business analysts and develop innovative solutions from the idea to its implementation. It is always important to us to respond to our customers' needs and to achieve the greatest possible benefit for our customers by using the latest technologies and methods.
Regulatory & Compliance
Our consultants are familiar with current financial market regulations and know how to implement demanding regulatory requirements and increasing compliance requirements in day-to day business. This is why we can provide you with competent and focused advice at the interface between business, legal, operations and IT.
Supply Management & Cost Efficiency
Fierce competition, increasing customer expectations and shrinking margins put operating costs at the forefront of any projects that aim to improve the bottom line. A disciplined procurement strategy, centralized and efficient processes, coupled with effective “nearshoring” and “offshoring” programs play a vital role in achieving ambitious cost reduction targets.
Business Applications
We support you in the development of modern concepts such as Open Banking, Data Analytics or new customer advisory processes. Our experts help you with tool evaluation, answer your security and architecture questions and work with you to develop new value-added innovations. A modern institute also needs an adequate infrastructure. With our experience in data centers, cloud migration, digital workstations and telephony, we help you to lay a solid foundation for modern solutions and processes. As an expert in the start-up scene and thanks to our network with many large companies and SMEs in Switzerland, we act as a bridge builder between you and these companies.
