In the highly competitive Investment Banking market, low latency is absolutely critical as it is directly connected to profitability. Many organisations are making big investments to improve their latency performance, carrying out testing to ensure the latency achieved in a project environment is competitive in the market. However, low latency levels achieved in a project […]
Major banking and trading institutions that have implemented bespoke Distributed Sales Platforms (DSP) have witnessed greater market share, improved client satisfaction and increased profitability. Due to limited trade barriers and significant cost constraints (post the financial crisis), clients have moved towards institutions that have invested in their DSPs with relative ease and in a limited […]
A programme continues to evolve after the go-live period as bugs/issues or further enhancement opportunities are identified continuously. Testing for changes made in the production environment is more limited in terms of the testing scope, which often endorses less significant enhancements, yet fails to highlight crucial functional issues. This set-back in quality is referred to […]
Following the banking crisis, margins have decreased and competition has increased, leaving fewer untapped areas of revenue generation. Many banks are now turning their focus inwards, reconsidering the way they generate Sales Management Information (MI) and redefining how this is used to reach out to clients. This introspection has revealed that many banks are unable […]
Information Technology (IT) solutions are generally an expensive investment that require a substantial amount of lead time from inception to implementation. Prototyping delivers essential cost and time benefits to large scale projects through demonstrating key visual and functional elements and testing a multitude of concepts. A proof-of-concept prototype enables the rapid creation of a product […]
Testing plays a critical role in ensuring the successful completion of a change project. The main concerns facing testers include the late planning of a testing process during the project cycle and the inadequate resource allocation based on a rough estimation by the Test Manager. These two issues can jeopardise the quality of testing and […]
Traditional exploratory testing methods are typically highly unstructured and dimensionless, often resulting in inefficient testing resource management, duplication of processes and unassured test coverage. Frequent failure to document design and scope means that knowledge and experience is not easily shared and as a result, successes are difficult to replicate. However, Brickendon has found that when treated […]
For many banks, client onboarding is a continual process involving dedicated departments who are subject to continual process refinement and standardisation. Conversely, offboarding is seen as a time-limited, one-off exercise. Brickendon Consultants have experienced the benefits of well-structured offboarding projects and of embedding offboarding into Business As Usual (BAU) processes. What is offboarding? Offboarding is the process […]
