Data Virtualisation: Putting an end to conflict in an organisation

Everyone suffers from having too much information. There is no shame in that. There is only so much you can deal with any time, and under bombardment we become confused. This is not a new phenomenon. When it comes to decision making, as the age-old phrase has it, we can’t see the wood for the trees.

In fact, recognition is the first step to recovery. It’s the way we deal with that information, storing it efficiently and processing it accurately, that is the mark of progress.

Auriga comment: Bank Branch Closures - Proposed Bill in Parliament

Access to financial services, particularly for rural communities, is a lifeline. Critical to this lifeline are not just bank branches but also ATMs. Branches and ATMs don’t just give out cash, they keep communities together, providing a crucial relationship between banks and their customers. The financial services industry has a responsibility to deliver choice to all customers regardless of how they want to access services, where they’re based or their net worth. Technology must make things better, not reduce choice and opportunity.
