Aligning Technology and Strategy
Community banks don’t need to hire data analysts or build their own technology in-house to develop a strong technology strategy, but they could focus on developing partnerships in critical areas such as information technology services and production applications, says Eric Jones, CEO of Navanta. He also says banks could rethink how they approach partnerships with third-party technology providers by advocating for better accountability and transparency in those relationships.
Topics discussed include:
- Focus on Strategy
- Key Investment Areas
- Communication in Business Partnerships
