In the previous article (PART 1), we’ve reviewed three financial software development strategies for 2021: real-life adoption of Big Data and enhanced analytics, changing and shifting legacy systems, and move to online banking.
In “PART 2”, we’ll keep revealing two more strategies and sharing scientific data, so you can be sure to include all the necessary details when you create your next fintech strategy.
5 Fintech Strategies for 2021: Summary
- Real-life adoption of Big Data and enhanced analytics
- Changing and shifting legacy systems
- Move to online banking
- Developing blockchain and platforms
- Automatic robotic processes
Blockchain Solutions
Blockchain is among the technologies that shape the world’s future. It’s already the core of numerous innovations and is about to define the digital landscape of 2021 in 4 ways:
- ICO Launch Support
- Cryptocurrency operations
- Smart Contracts
- Identity Management
2020 Global Blockchain Report by Deloitte shows that blockchain has turned into an integral part of organizational innovation as “a top-five strategic priority” for companies. Among key advantages already offered, these digital solutions contribute to cybersecurity empowerment and the DeFi (decentralized finance) development. In a broader social context, the know-how helps establish sustainable food safety, provide digital identities to impoverished people and refugees, and prevent uncontrolled weapons tracking.
For businesses, blockchain solutions promise significant facilitation and productivity boost. For example, it helps to trace the lost and previously unnecessary data for accurate decision-making. Also, blockchain is irreplaceable in ownership protection, providing easy-to-track distribution that protects the rights of creators. Finally, the technology shapes the future of transactions, with further development and greater popularity of smart contracts and cryptocurrency operations.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
According to McKinsey insights, the adoption of robotics automation technologies has accelerated during the pandemic, especially in processing workflows. In 2021, we expect to witness the growing popularities of these RPA technologies:
- Account reconciliation,
- Automated mailers,
- Monthly account reviews, and
- Regulatory reporting.
In essence, the installation of robots is already a new industrial trend. Even though Hollywood movies tended to dramatize the situation with apocalyptic movies, reality shows that humans and robots work well together. With the robots’ involvement, it’s possible to simultaneously do the job or delegate certain processes and tasks that are better completed if done automated.
The reality of social distancing makes robotic process automation a good solution not to stop manufacturing. Moreover, it can serve as the basis for remote collaborative coding and any other way of automating the routing processes remotely. As another core use case, the RPA industry helps to deal with staff shortages. In particular, it can cover the elementary tasks of entry-level personnel effectively.
