Walter Obermeier: Technology Should be Invisible

Walter Obermeier has worked for some real powerhouses of tech, HP, Accenture and UiPath. At 16, he had his first insight into the power of technology and IT in banks. In his view, technology is something that you use in a bank, and it's necessary and a tool, but it will not deliver growth. Instead, growth is delivered by people. The most important thing to support your clients and customers is your moving at their speed. Because customers need a decision today or tomorrow and you need to be fast and adaptive and help your customers achieve their goals. Banks need to get faster and more adaptive in shorter time frames than they do now. He’s a follower of the KISS principle, Keep It Simple and the 80/20 Rule. To build towards the future, you will see that you only need 20% of the functionality you have today in your application to delight 80% of your customers and more.
