IDC Financial Forum 2017 | IDC Financial Insights | 23 November 2017 | Stejarii Country Club, Strada Jandarmeriei 14A, Bucharest 013896, Romania

Pushed forward by regulations and the new realities of digital competition, the financial services industry has timewarped into the “open era”. Ecosystems are expanding and new partnerships are forged on-the-go, while traditional infrastructures and mindsets must adapt to a different way of doing business.

APIs have not only enabled systems to communicate with each other more quickly and efficiently, but they will ultimately allow organizations to focus on their real value through specialization.

The key themes of the IDC Financial Forum 2017 will look at the digital open era journey, how pioneers are preparing, and what pitfalls face the finance industry.
