Pablo Schor’s Summary

Product management, business and systems analysis in the banking software industry. Experience in consumer and corporate banking. My work is focused on how to leverage the use of software technology to support bank's business strategies. The main objective is to understand industry trends in both financial services and software technology, and bring to the table creative ideas and business innovation.

To achieve that objective, the execution lies in a process that initially models the ecosystem and business structures found in a specific financial services industry segment, that are subsequently crossed with the potential financial services that can be offered in each of these structures. With that information, the financial institution can focus its attention on specific business models, which are leveraged with trends in software technology. At the same time, the application functionality is gathered and managed in use cases, providing input to the software implementation.

Understanding Information Architecture is also crucial in the B2C and B2B Internet world, due to the fact that financial institutions are leveraging relationships and improving productivity through the web. Banks should offer integral/customizable services (instead of isolated products) aligned to a single technology strategy.

Finally, banks are facing competition generated by advances in software technology and the Internet (for example disintermediation in person-to-person lending, or open account practices in corporate banking and foreign trade) however technology also creates new business opportunities for financial institutions. Banks are forced to reshape their traditional business, and creativity is crucial in a world where software tools and standards have become a commodity. My professional goal is to come up with innovative and creative ideas, and show that they are worth pursuing. psc at sofiana(dot)com.
