Financial services encompass a wide range of businesses, such as banks, credit unions, credit card companies, insurance firms, investment funds, accountancy companies and many more. 

But regardless of the vertical, they all need to be able to quickly and accurately answer every concern from the stakeholders while remaining compliant to the changing regulations. And Infor SunSystems can help financial services businesses to achieve just that.

Infor SunSystems for financial services industry

Financial services firms facing the data problem

The financial services industry in recent years is constantly facing a multitude of challenges, and technology is certainly one of them. Many executives demand their IT departments to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

While traditional banks and financial institutes are struggling with how to transform digitally, FinTech businesses are gaining popularity with customer-friendly solutions using cloud computing and other disruptive technologies.

What the financial services industry has to pay extra attention to is customer expectations, which are constantly changing and are easily influenced by standards set by other industries. Today’s customers demand better service, seamless experience regardless of devices/ channels they use, and on top of all, more value for their money.

Furthermore, regulators also adopt new technologies to keep up with the market and to transform the way they collect and analyse information.

Living in a data-driven world, financial services firms need a solution that can help them meet today's complex analytical demands, enable them to make full use of data, discover competitive advantage, and pinpoint new opportunities.

More than just your regular financial management system, Infor SunSystems is capable of providing standard accounting functions complete with comprehensive reports and deep analysis function to help businesses like yours to overcome the day-to-day challenges.
