Areas of Practice

 

fintech strategy

Traditional financial service industry is transforming to meet evolving needs from clients, to respond to stringent regulatory compliance, and to cooperate & compete with both emerging fintech players and major players from outside the conventional financial service industry.  

We help clients formulate competitive fintech strategies, develop innovative business models, and evaluate industry solutions for executive management.


fintech regulatory compliance

Investment managers, securities brokers, financial advisers, and wealth managers are supported by more and more financial technologies that are closely watched by financial regulators.  Your algorithm trading desks, robo advisers, order management system, wealth management portals, be they staff-facing or client-facing, have to comply with rules set by financial regulators in the city and overseas. 

We help clients assess fintech regulatory impacts and implement compliance solutions regarding your fintech business and operations.


cloud backup & disaster recovery

Managing resilience of corporate data is more than business contingency and disaster recovery in back office.  It is about your corporate reputation and sustainability - when your corporate data is irrecoverably lost, your business ceases to operate essentially.  Also see our service of Cyber Security.

We help clients implement and evaluate cloud backup and disaster recovery solutions.


Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Repetitive monotonous manual process could be counterproductive when it is performed by intellectual workforce.  Introduction of RPA to operations can reduce processing error, protect confidential information from human hands, and allow management to adjust capacity.  That means reliability, data security, and scalability at your company.

We evaluate and recommend RPA solutions to clients in order to reallocate intellectual people to higher value-added work processes.


cyber security

Financial institutions are facing advance and coordinated cyber attacks.  Zero-day attacks can strip off hundreds of million dollars of annual profit from multi-national corporations and they can damage reputation often irrecoverably.  Strengthen your first line of defense before your corporate data becomes widely available in public domain.  Also see our service of Cloud Backup & Disaster Recovery.

We help clients formulate cyber resilience strategies & approaches, advise industry solutions, and evaluate vendors for your CISO.

Blockchain and other implementations of distributed ledger technology (DLT) can upgrade your current business models that capture unmet opportunities in the past.  However, bad DLT stategies and implementations can do more harm than benefits to your organizations.
