BIAN Foundation Certification Training Course

The Banking industry wastes over a billion dollars each year due to the complexity of its core technologies and integration approaches that only ignore the problem, if not add to the dilemma. This has become one of the primary reason banks are not receiving all the anticipated benefits from their digital transformations. There’s never been a more exciting time to be part of the financial services industry. The pace of change has never been greater, the competitive landscape continues to expand beyond traditional players, and emerging technologies are opening doors that allow financial services providers to find new ways to differentiate themselves and explore the art of the possible. But none of this will be possible using traditional approaches. The Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) is a global, not-for profit association of leading banks, technology providers, consultancy companies, integrators, and academic partners with the shared aim to establish and provide a common framework for the banking industry covering almost all the well-known architectural layers. In this 2-day course, we will explain to you everything about the BIAN Standard and its major benefits.
