Challenges • The financial services industry is believed to be on the verge of a dramatic
revolution, prompted by regulatory requirements, the desire for greater stability and more powerful ICT [source: Frankfurt House of Finance, 2008]"
• eFinance is already transforming how banks do business (e.g. online only banks)"
• Many challenges to address"
– Lack of standards (apart from FIX)"
– Solutions du jour"
– Compliance issues (BASEL II, SOLVENCY II)"
– Wave of IT and engineering talent driving “market innovation” [source: Credit Suisse]"
• Need for better Information systems"
What we will do! (1) • Apply Telecoms R&D to financial Information systems"
– Specialised Operations Management software; New protocols and models for the interchange of financial data; "
– Frameworks for the evaluation of the suitability of IT technologies for particular challenges in terms of functional requirements and non-functional aspects such as security and performance (e.g. benchmarking); "
– Automated and semanticallyaware mechanisms for the dynamic and static composition of financial services; "
– Communications and Algorithmic innovations to improve the performance and scalability of financial systems; "
What we will do! (2) • Automated mechanisms supporting compliance issues across the value
chain"
• Resource management and optimisation systems responding to Green IT issues. "
• Develop Inter-disciplinary research projects for MSc by research"
• Create an Industrial Advisory Board"
• Seek industrial sponsorship"
• EI research shows strong industrial demand. "
