Sometimes one can be in the mood for a five-course meal and other times just a small snack. In the past Celent has served the only the large meals as food for thought in our in-depth reports. We haven’t given the banking industry the opportunity to graze rather than devour.

This is now changing with the new Celent Banking Blog. This delivers the same rigorous Celent thinking in more bite-sized portions. The ideas are sometimes fresher, such as gleanings from an industry conference or a newly breaking announcement in the industry. They may be the seeds of ideas that will grow into full-fledged reports. They may be the musings of a Celent analyst looking for feedback from the blogosphere.

In any case, you will find the Celent Banking Blog to be true to the Celent brand: objective, accurate, and insightful. You can bank on it.
