Synechron to open Digital Innovation Centre in UAE
DUBAI, October 14, 2015
Synechron, a leading pure-play technology consulting and outsourcing provider for the financial services industry, is set to open the first digital innovation centre dedicated towards banking, insurance and smart government.
The Synechron Digital Innovation Centre (SDIC) will act as an innovation hub for clients committed to investing in technology, and more specifically digital transformation – translating those assets into greater potential business success for the future, said a statement.
The SDIC will bring together a complete retail branch experience combined with several digital channels including mobile, tablet, touch walls, queue management, automation/ATM and mobile payments, to fully illustrate the customer journey and an Omni channel approach, it said.
The participants will also be able to spend a full day at the SDIC to brainstorm digital strategies and consult with experts on current trends and technologies that can impact their business.
The Synechron customers that do not have a dedicated innovation lab of their own can avail of the free opportunity to prototype and work in a simulated digital environment.
The SDIC will also provide a film studio facility in which innovation programs will be filmed offering customers with the option to record and publish regular video content.
Faisal Husain, chief executive officer, said: “While we are a global organization operating across sixteen countries, we chose Dubai to launch our first Digital Innovation Centre due to it’s central geographical location.
""The SDIC represents Synechron's long term commitment to supporting its clients in delivering true digital transformation and innovation solutions. We will continue to invest heavily in this area, by hiring thought leaders in digital and talented staff who have worked with the latest technologies impacting society today.”
The SDIC has been fully operational from October and will offer Synechron’s customers three options: a half-day brainstorm session for executive management, a full day brainstorm and prototyping session or a one-hour dedicated technology workshop.
In addition to the various digital zones, the SDIC will also play host to a brainstorm room in which visitors will be able to relax, strategize and envision their digitization journey with Synechron’s innovation team.
David Horton, head of innovation, Synechron Middle East, said: “The broad range of technologies at the SDIC will inspire customers to be more creative. We expect our clients to leave fully energised and inspired, and with transformational concepts that Synechron has a track record of delivering.” - TradeArabia News Service
