Ques:- Your client is a financial services firm, specifically the Treasury services department. This division has its own software/IT group that created a breakthrough Web case management system that has netted awards and new clients. Your firm recently merged with larger firm that made this platform the enterprise standard. All current clients must migrate to this system while requirements from older clients form a serious backlog. Finally, the new firm is losing market share in its ForEx currency trading operations due to technology-based issues and has fallen from 1st place to 4th worldwide. How do you prioritize these demands and how do you restructure to successfully meet demand? What impact will your recommendations have on the Treasury Services department and on clients?
1. **Assess Urgency and Impact**: Evaluate the backlog of requirements from older clients and the technology issues affecting ForEx operations. Prioritize fixing critical technology issues first to regain market share.
2. **Implement Agile Methodology**: Restructure the IT team to adopt Agile practices, allowing for quicker iterations and responsiveness to client needs.
3. **Create a Cross-Functional Task Force**: Form a dedicated team to focus on migrating clients to the new platform while addressing the backlog of requirements.
4. **Set Clear Milestones**: Establish timelines for both migration and backlog resolution, ensuring transparency with clients about progress.
5. **Enhance Communication**: Regularly update clients on changes and improvements to rebuild trust and confidence.
The impact of these recommendations will likely lead to improved client satisfaction, a more efficient Treasury Services department, and a stronger competitive position in the market.
