I can not express the validity of this statement enough. I work for one of those software vendors and software as a technology solution is undervalued.

- zt 13y agoI don't know if technology is generally valued within banks or not. What I do know if that we've had a lot of success working with product folks who "get it" and help us drive through the platform from the business side and then we work closely with the IT and IT security folks to make sure they're happy as well. I worked for years getting things done in government bureaucracies and we have had a lot of success in approaching a bank and it's employees (almost all of whom are smart and well-meaning) as a puzzle to be solved rather than an enemy to be defeated.
- jacques_chester 13y agoWhich is maddening. Banks are a wrapper made of people around a general ledger program. I'm not particularly up with the banking industry here in Australia or abroad, but the only banks I've seen bothering to see IT here in Australia as an actual point of competition are SunCorp and BankWest. Naturally, they're smaller, so they need to find advantages outside of mere incumbency.
