Financial Services Industry Architects that Delight and Empower

Imagine a consultant who actually engaged your customers, empowered employees, optimized operations, and transformed your business as part of a digital transformation initiative. One who offered clear vision, understood financial services business challenges and generated measureable impact all while inspiring performance and user adoption with tangible achievements.

After twenty years of working in business and technology consulting services, it is very clear to me that business decision makers now more than ever expect their consultants to deliver impact that extends far beyond mere ideas and words on paper. Businesses need change, sometimes radical change, and they need it quickly to remain competitive and relevant. The Millennial generation’s digital expectations have disrupted how we live and how businesses operate, as Uber, Airbnb, SoFi, Amazon Go and so many others have demonstrated.

Picture banking operations where every employee no matter their experience level uses a Surface tablet, exudes energy, collaborates through Office 365, promotes customer relationship management with Dynamics CRM, and leverages the power of Microsoft Business Intelligence to deeply understand how the bank can delight customers. Then, behind the scenes the infrastructure moves from an expensive, challenging to maintain mainframe and is instead powered by the Azure cloud that promotes better security, tightens risk controls, facilitates regulatory compliance and decreases costs.

At Microsoft, we have created the Financial Services practice inside Worldwide Industry Services to make digital transformation a reality using the power of the Microsoft portfolio of solutions to empower employees, engage customers, optimize operations and transform products.

Digital Transformation can be a reality with the help of a Microsoft Financial Services Industry Architect and the power of Microsoft technology. Our Industry Architects understand business because they have rolled up their sleeves through several critical large scale complex transformations across decades and they constantly keep their fingers on the pulse of change. They know how to ensure customers and employees are delighted, processes are improved and they have real passion to ensure everyone is empowered to achieve more no matter where they are on the planet. A Microsoft Industry Architect may even recognize a better solution or process that will make a bank truly unique across the Financial Services ecosystem. Ultimately, a Microsoft Financial Services Industry Architect will have laser focus on delivering an outcome that is truly digitally transformed.
