Lane: Fax in the financial world

As communications systems become more integrated the opportunities for greater efficiency, lower costs and greater productivity are even greater. Voice and data communications are becoming concentrated on IP networks, increasingly sophisticated Multi Function Peripherals (MFPs) are consolidating hardware into fewer devices and virtualisation of systems is lowering data centre costs and allowing greater centralisation of systems and resources. So where does fax fit into this rapidly changing scene?

Lane: Fax and the Future

The fax market is changing significantly though not in the way predicted by many. Far from an inevitable decline brought about by the emergence of e-mail, the demand for fax, particularly from larger companies, is actually growing. The way that fax is managed within the business is also undergoing a significant period of transition.

Ipreo - Essentials in CRM selection

When it comes to choosing an enterprise-level CRM, one size does not fit all – particularly if you are a financial services firm. For years, CRM vendors made millions selling the same off-the-shelf products into different vertical markets. This strategy had no greater failure than within the financial services sector. Unique workflows, data requirements and complex integration scenarios resulted in poor implementations as these products were an awkward fit in the organization and/or required substantial additional investment for customization. Accordingly, most firm that have elected to implement CRM within financial services have chosen a vertically-focused offering that caters to the specific workflows and data requirements of financial services firms. There are also many different flavors within financial services and what works for a commercial bank will not necessarily work for an institutional broker. Understanding the specific needs of your firm is paramount to a successful CRM implementation.
