Medium-sized financial institutions will be able to compete with a new solution in the cloud, at low cost and zero infrastructure

 

Bogotá, April 18, 2018

Designed to meet the needs of medium and small financial entities seeking affordable solutions to invest in cutting-edge technology, the NOS solution (NETinfo Omnichannel Suite) entered the Colombian market through the companies AS•NET and NETinfo. NOS is a SaaS model, offering an easy, agile, secure and intuitive omnichannel application, and is based on NETinfo Digital Banking Platform, a tool of global recognition.

NETinfo and AS•NET organized a conference together with former IT vice-minister, Maria Isabel Mejia, where they exchanged views on digital transformation and Colombian consumer trends: omnichannel, millennials, mobility, analytics and virtual assistants. NETinfo’s CBDO & Executive Board Member, Polys Hadjikyriacos, visited Colombia to participate the conference and to present NOS. The solution is powered by NETinfo, with head offices located in Cyprus (European Union) and with clients in 30 countries. In Colombia, it is represented by AS•NET, a company specialized in Business Processing Outsourcing Services (BPO) to the cloud.

The structure of the SaaS model places the solution in a very competitive and feasible terrain in comparison with other solutions used by larger entities. Indeed, it does not require infrastructure and its costs for the entity are based on the transaction volume made by customers in Web and mobile channels.

According to the former IT vice minister, María Isabel Mejía: “There are many small and medium-sized financial institutions in Colombia, and the digital solutions that target the banking sector will allow to speed up their digital transformation. The search for accessibility and equality for all Colombians is the challenge for all entrepreneurs in the country.” Also, Mejía mentioned that open banking will allow financial institutions to serve citizens in a more transparent way, by allowing the integration of other industries. New business models will evolve, enabling ecosystem-based banks – FinTech. Customers will look for better tools to manage their finances more efficiently.

NETinfo’s representative in Colombia, Kurt Rodríguez, assures that this solution would be the first option in the cloud that is offered in Colombia, through an omnichannel system with state-of-the-art technology which seeks to meet the needs of smaller financial institutions in optimizing their virtual channels to improve the experience of their customers.
