Our work in the banking, finance and financial services sector has included
both retail and wholesale, domestic and international businesses. One of
the key requirements for services is that they are secure, being designed,
implemented and operated taking into account the possible risks to which
they are exposed whilst fulfilling their basic requirements and also
providing a good user experience. Our current work has enabled us to
develop an industry-wide reputation around a number of key themes, including
the deployment of contactless payment schemes and multi-channel EMV.
The ways in which telecoms and media companies deliver value to their customers have multiplied in recent years. The evolution of new value networks brings about both challenges and opportunities. In all of these sectors there is a need for more sophisticated identity and value management techniques, such as micro-payment support, authentication techniques and billing. We have built a reputation for bringing together business and technology in an effective partnership in key areas.
To use technology to deliver improved transaction services means having a deep understanding of authentication techniques, access devices, networks, transactional services and applications. We give our clients not only this understanding, but also specialised development services to help them built prototypes and demonstrators to bring new concepts alive.
Practical experience with local, national and international public sector bodies has provided us with a clear perspective on the challenges and opportunities they face with the transition to electronic transactions. Many of these are linked to e-government agenda because without effective use of appropriate authentication and identity technologies, e-government will never achieve its potential.
