Corporate actions/asset servicing operating models have not seen any radical transformation in the past three decades. The focus has been on cleansing source data and managing complex and risk-inherent instructions, promoting a labor-intensive operations model--right from the exchanges and CSDs through to asset managers. The biggest impact, however, has been the delays in data processing and inflexible intermediary deadlines that restrict investment decision-making windows.
As a second installment in our TCS BaNCS Dialogues on Cloud and Asset Servicing, we examined the transformative role that technology and a Cloud First approach are playing in the evolution of next generation operating models in the corporate actions space. Our panelists shared their views and delved into the possibility of invisible operating models that draw upon high levels of automation and leverage cognitive tools such as AI and Machine Learning.
Panelists:
- Niki Prodanovic, Principal (General Partner), Canada Operation, Edward Jones
- Nick Weiss , Director, STU - Azure Transformation, Financial Services at Microsoft
- Will Sheehan, Senior Product Owner, Vanguard
