New Role...
Been a silent for sometime now...mostly because I have been busy and had nothing to say until I figured out what I was going to do at Microsoft. I have left the DPE (Developer & Platform Evangelism) team where I focused on the Financial Services industry to become the Industry Technical Strategist for Banking in the US.
What does that mean? Still figuring it out, but mostly it will be putting some architectural and design meat underneath the experienceBanking theme and then spreading that message around. Banking is a big area, but I think of it as more focus since I can now ignore Insurance and Capital Markets.
My main ideas for banking and technology is how do we use the technology to provide:
1. Cost Take Out.
2. Time to Market advantage
3. Bring innovation back to banking
4. You guessed it…creating great User Experiences (UX) to generate brand differentiation across channels…
So, as I get ramped up I'll start putting tidbits here…
