Single Mobile App or Multiple Mobile App Strategy?
| by Brian Hink | 0
We follow the CenterState blog because we often find information which is interesting and relevant to running a financial institution. Their latest article is focused on technology strategy, and whether a bank or credit union should be offering a single mobile app or multiple mobile apps to their customers:
This is an interesting article (although it doesn’t include much ground breaking information) and the Remedy team had just a couple thoughts:
- A multiple application strategy generally works best when you have different customers visiting the sites. For example, your retail banking customers may not have a reason to visit your payroll application. This eliminates some of the confusion caused by a different look and feel of each application, different single sign-on (SSO) process, and viewing data across multiple apps.
- Within the same customer base (for example a retail customer that wants to use your online application or card controls application), it may be wise to seek a similar user experience, which often means utilizing a single application, or at least applications from a single provider. Even if a FI could get over the user experience issues, your application provider may have contractual restrictions on using more than one application within the same space.
Overall, we think the CenterState team did a good job identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a single vs multiple mobile application strategy.
That is all for now, thanks for checking in.

After completing one renewal on your own, it was evident that market pricing information was necessary for an effective negotiation. Remedy was able to provide that plus other contract information that made for a positive renewal. Remedy was able to achieve more than our expectations, including significantly lower rates.

We wanted to ensure our pricing and contract terms were in line with those of other financial institutions. Remedy had the tools and knowledge to help us out. The process, from beginning to end, lasted about 4 months. Remedy took care of all the negotiations and simply kept us apprised of where the negotiations were at and how they were going.

Cornerstone Bank thanks Remedy Consulting as a strategic partner in core contract negotiation. Brian, Project Manager, streamlined the process of our core vendor renewal and advised us as to the new technologies that we could continue/implement and still receive a cost reduction on our five-year contract. We are happy to highly recommend Brian and the Remedy Team.

Our organization was engaged in a negotiation with our core provider for a contract renewal. Although we were already well into the process, I made the decision to hire Remedy because I felt the negotiations were taking too long and consuming too much of my management team's time.
Josh Hoppes, CEO
Mutual Savings Association, Leavenworth, KS
Remedy Consulting was able to achieve much more than our expectations during our core contract negotiation including significantly lower rates and contract language that much more favorable to the bank. We were extremely impressed with the project management and professionalism shown by the Remedy Team. Highly recommended.
