Accepting Nominations for Celent Model Bank 2014

Now in our seventh year, Celent is seeking nominations for its Model Bank awards. Each year, we honor a hand-picked selection of financial institutions who model excellent utilization of technology in banking. Celent Model Bank 2013 winners represented 19 financial institutions across 12 countries. All received recognition at our annual Innovation and Insight Day this past February in Boston, MA. Are there excellent examples of technology innovation at your institution (or one of your clients if you’re a technology provider)? Banks and credit unions self-nominate, while technology providers may nominate a client on their behalf and with their consent. Share your story with us using our online nomination form below. A panel of analysts will review all nominations based on three criteria: 1. Degree of innovation 2. Degree of difficulty, and 3. Measurable, quantitative business results achieved Success stories are welcome across the spectrum of financial services disciplines, from: infrastructure and architecture, product development, marketing/sales, distribution / channel management, transaction processing, loan processing, customer service / support, and security and risk management. Nominations can be made online at: http://www.celentmodelbank.com. If you’d like, e-mail me and I’ll send you an excerpt from last year’s report, Celent Model Bank 2013: Case Studies of Effective Technology Usage in Banking. A PDF of previous Celent Model Bank winners is available here, and selected video case studies are available here. Bring on those nominations!
