The constantly evolving economy requires financial services companies be data-driven—from mining interaction data to gathering consumer product expectations. The term ‘data-driven’ is not a new concept; financial services companies have applied regressive-based statistical analysis for years to achieve improved forecasts on products and services. This definition of data-driven has evolved to encompass customer preferences and values, especially when it comes to how customers prefer to bank.
Customers expect a financial services company to remember their preferences, engagement history and behaviors so personalized experiences can be delivered. To achieve a competitive advantage, companies must break down silos of customer data and effectively extract and leverage insights to meet customer needs.
Having the correct data will enrich the customer experience, but in order to do so, financial services need to have a well-designed data transformation strategy that delivers value right from the start.
In view of these, we've invited a seasoned FinTech professional and presently the Regional Sales Director of MoneyThor, Connor Larkin based in Singapore as he walk us through the value proposition of a data driven financial platform like MoneyThor and its significant relevance to our digital economy.

The speed of innovation and ability to adapt to rapidly changing market trends rests on the agility of your release cycle and the ability to quickly diagnose, triage, and fix errors. Data virtualization is the critical lever used by forward-thinking enterprises to provision production-quality data to dev and test environments on demand or via APIs.
Furthermore, data virtualization provides the ability to securely manage and distribute policy-governed virtual copies of production-quality datasets. No matter the underlying database management system (DBMS) or source database location, data virtualization technology creates block-mapped virtual copies of the database for rapid and controlled distribution all while leaving a minimal storage footprint no matter how many copies are used.
In view of these, we’ve invited Shaun Paterson, the Managing Director of Grover Consult based from Manila, Philippines as he shares with us his valuable insights on the optimal use of database virtualization and its significant importance to our digital economy.

Breaking down the analytics adoption barrier will require providing data and analytics where people spend their time, without disruption — just like we are used to receiving insights while scrolling through Netflix for instance. With this in mind, the most innovative organizations are already embedding analytics directly into users’ workflows to allow for actionable decisions based on the context in front of them.
In every industry, businesses leverage data to drive insights and make informed decisions using data analytics. As the field continues to grow, so does the demand for skilled professionals to extract insights from complex data sets.
Therefore, it's crucial that both men and women are involved in interpreting and applying this information. Women who pursue careers in data science not only contribute to shaping the data-driven world but also reap personal benefits, such as gaining access to a rapidly expanding field with attractive salary options and career prospects. By encouraging more women to join the field, we can create more opportunities for them to advance in their careers and attain financial stability.
In view of these, we've invited Michelle Alarcon, the President of the Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Association of the Philippines as well as the President of Z-Lift Solutions Inc. based from Manila as she shares with us her valuable insights on Women working in Analytics, AI and technology and its significant importance to our digital economy.

As our world becomes more interconnected, so too does the need for banking systems to follow suit. In the past, businesses and individuals were often restricted to banking in a single country, but the rise of borderless banking is enabling both to benefit from greater financial freedoms.By definition, borderless banking refers to any bank account, which allows users to spend, send and receive money across different countries and currencies, without incurring heavy fees. The concept has become increasingly popular in recent years, with more people now working in cross-border job roles and with many businesses requiring capital in a different currency than that of their country of origin.
Let’s take a closer look on why this trend is so important and how FinTech companies are helping to make it possible.

Tokenization is the process of digitally representing assets, rights, or items of value through a smart contract on a blockchain, has gained significant attention in recent years.
By enabling assets to be divided into smaller tradable units, tokenization has the potential to revolutionize the funding and capital model across many different industries. What may have previously been a non-bankable real-world asset can find its way into the financial ecosystem, becoming accessible to a wider range of investors.
The ability to divide previously indivisible assets allows for easier and more affordable access to digital assets, as users no longer need to purchase an entire unit of an asset to participate in its ownership. This means that smaller investors can participate in investments that were previously only available to larger investors, thus democratizing access to investment opportunities like real estate for instance.
In view of these, we've invited Mr. Robert Hoving, the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of “GORO”, a very promising digital platform from Indonesia which has the objective of democratizing real estate investment for more fractional ownership opportunities as he explains to us the value proposition of real estate tokenization and its significant relevance to our digital economy.

Most traditional investment brokers do not yet offer exposure to crypto for trading purposes unlike equities or bonds.
Therefore, cryptocurrency exchanges were developed as a simple way for investors to buy digital assets. Even though the majority of these exchanges have similar offerings, such as spot markets to tokens like bitcoin and Ether (Ethereum) for instance, there is a wide variety based on the amount of tokens offered, together with other available services and security.
Moreover, while some utilize traditional centralized corporate structures, others embrace the industry’s decentralized ethos by avoiding the appearance of having any specific people being in charge.

The Chief Revenue Officers or commonly known as CRO’s will
play an important role on establishing revenue streams for the organization.
Relatively, thirty-five percent of chief revenue officers (CROs) will establish a generative AI operations team in their go-to market (GTM) organization by 2025, according to Gartner group.
Faster, deeper insight generated by Artificial Intelligence will
accelerate the speed at which Go-To-Market teams produce buyer content and adapt to market forces, ultimately improving the reliability of sales’ decision making and improving end-to-end revenue outcomes.
Presently, sellers spend 52% of their time on creating and delivering value messaging across the sales process, according to Gartner’s research study of 1,204 sellers in May 2023.
Generative value messaging, or the ability to harness the power of generative AI for buyer-centric messaging and content, will significantly reduce the time it takes sellers to produce and disseminate quality content.

The next few years could be a make-or-break period for some banks and financial institutions. They will join the digital financial ecosystem movement—or be consumed by it.
These platform-based ecosystems offer products and services that are created and distributed in partnership with others. And they confer powerful advantages, allowing organizations to enter new markets, create new services, and acquire new customers faster and more affordably than with traditional product development and go-to-market models. By 2030, digital ecosystems could account for a significant share of the banking revenue pool according to the research study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group recently.
The Digital Ecosystems are the undeniable next step in digital disruption for the financial services sector. The hyper-connectivity that digital tools and channels enable has blurred traditional boundaries between brick-and-mortar and web environments and between the four walls of an enterprise and the wider value chain.
In view of these, we've invited Mr. Arvie de Vera, Co-Founder and Board Trustee of the Fintech Philippines Association and former Chief Executive Officer of UnionDigital Bank as he walks us through the recent developments of the FinTech community in the Philippines as well as its significant relevance to our digital economy.

The economic volatility and uncertainty, higher cost of funding, and the need to diversify supply chains are particular concerns for businesses operating in the Asia Pacific region. But what sets the region apart is the access to enormous technology talent pools that are adept at resolving problems through the use of artificial intelligence, process automation, and data analysis among others.
One result of this is the region’s leadership in adopting new real-time payments methods, plus API and cloud-based payments technologies, which has led to the emergence of popular digital wallets and sophisticated digital banking providers. These in turn are transforming e-commerce and leading the swift rise of new business approaches, such as direct-to-consumer, usage-based pricing, and subscription models. Meanwhile, online platforms that once catered to a single niche are expanding through partnerships with firms in other sectors, giving rise to multi-industry, region-wide ecosystems.
This has made the region a cradle of innovation when it comes to financial technology, and a must-follow space for those interested in where digital adoption go next. In view of these, we've invited Mr. Umang Moondra, Chief Executive Officer of APIX platform as he walks us through the significant relevance of innovation into our digital economy.https://apixplatform.comhttps://www.synfindo.com
