As we continue to hear stories of businesses struggling to find and retain talent, it's becoming clear that this is the new normal. Many long-time employees retired en masse during the pandemic, leaving banks and other businesses struggling to attract new talent to fill those gaps.
In the dynamic realm of banking, efficient workflow processes are a common goal among financial institutions. Although there are many approaches, true process improvements are made by focusing not on a specific solution, but on the principles that drive efficiency.
One of the most significant of these principles is integration and its potential to redefine the way institutions operate.
Despite current economic conditions, innovative banks are avoiding cuts to their tech budgets. However, many banks are still hesitant to venture away from their core providers and form relationships with other technology vendors. Investing in technology can help community banks improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and reach more customers with an improved customer experience.
In the banking industry, innovation and technology are top of mind for community financial institutions who want to stay relevant. As you search for solutions to your CFI’s needs, you will undoubtedly vet many vendors. Give yourself an advantage and be sure to ask the right questions during the discovery process. These are some of the most important questions you should ask when interviewing potential partners to ensure the relationship is going to be a good fit.
