Brainstorm HEALTH, sponsored by Fortune […]

Money20/20, the world’s largest conference geared towards the financial services industry, continues to generate big announcements from heavy hitters. Just yesterday, Bank of America’s Head of Digital Banking, Michelle Moore, introduced us to Erica (a play off the company’s name), a digital assistant that is driven by artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and cognitive messaging.

Machine learning (ML), deep learning(DL) and natural language processing (NLP) were the hot topics on the agenda. There are some interesting […]

Every industry experiences cybercrime, but probably none more than financial services, at an average annualized cost of $13.5 million. If you look at the Breach Level Index, you will notice that some type of security breach occurs at financial institutions almost daily.

There’s no question that financial institutions need cutting-edge technology to support growth. However, there is also no question that technology is not their core business. Therefore, it makes sense for them to partner – or even acquire – financial technology companies, which brings us to the topic of unicorns. What do unicorns have to do […]

Go grab a stack of papers from the “TO-DO” pile on your desk  – it’s OK, I know you have one – mine is full of utility statements to be filed away, drawing from my kids, and coupons for things I will probably never buy. Now find the cable TV bill from April 2016. Not very difficult, huh?  We […]
