Top Global Lenders gather to discuss industry trends and challenges.
For Immediate Release
MANCHESTER, UK, 09 Oct 2014 – Katabat announces the findings from its 13th installment of the Industry Advisory Group (IAG), held 23rd-24th September in Manchester, UK. The meeting included representation of the largest global lenders in the UK and Europe, along with attendees from the U.S.
The IAG, which brings together thought leaders in the credit industry to discuss key issues facing us now and into the future, featured a representative group of both credit risk and arrears managers drawn from the leading European and UK-based financial institutions. The focus of the day-long session was principally around industry trends, upcoming challenges, and various solutions that Katabat clients are deploying to address those challenges.
The day started with a presentation by Andrew Domino of Katabat’s partner, Bridgeforce, reviewing macro trends and their implications on organisations’ operational challenges. He also described some best practice strategies aimed at both regulatory compliance and optimization initiatives. The day progressed with several client case studies describing the effectiveness of Katabat’s approach in improving the customer journey, advancing the individualisation of customer-level treatments, and synchronising customer communications across mobile, digital and traditional channels.
Katabat also provided demonstrations of new capabilities of the CredAgility® platform, which have collectively extended Katabat’s ability to automate customer-facing business processes across the entire credit life cycle. IAG members provided insight and feedback on the company’s future product roadmap along with valuable guidance on the most pressing problems to be solved.
“We are delighted and humbled by the engagement of our Industry Advisory Group members in helping us to build a better company by focusing our energies on the key challenges that matter most to them” said Vytas Kisielius, CEO of Katabat. “The feedback informs our product roadmap and sharpens our ability to respond more quickly to the twists and turns of the market as our clients adjust to regulatory and economic issues they face each day.”
Katabat holds two Industry Advisory Groups annually, in the US each Spring and in the UK each Fall, with the next installment targeted for April in Philadelphia. IAG Members receive access to the detailed presentations, while the summarised proceedings will be made more broadly available.
