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.
