Finovate Debuts: myInvenio Turns Data Analysis into Process Intelligence

Finovate Debuts: myInvenio Turns Data Analysis into Process Intelligence

myinvenio_homepage_May2016

With its first product, myInvenio, Cognitive Technology brings the blessings of big-data visualization to the banking industry.

myInvenio analyzes the structured and unstructured data that financial institutions already have in their logs to help managers uncover inefficiencies and discover roadblocks. Leveraging Cognitive Technology’s talents in process intelligence, big data analytics, and data mining, myInvenio enables CIOs to analyze, monitor, and optimize banking processes.

“With myInvenio you can analyze the past, the present, and you can predict the future of your processes, providing the banking organization with a perfect solution for the process and operations governance,” says Massimiliano Delsante, myInvenio’s CEO.

Like most data-visualizing technologies, seeing is believing. So be sure to check out myInvenio’s demo video from FinovateEurope for the full effect. The technology uses color, arrows, and even animated images to automatically visualize—and in some instances dramatize—business activities such as loan issuance. Accessing different views via an analytics dashboard allows managers to spot areas of potential non-compliance or to drill down to determine which processes are the most time-consuming and inefficient.

Pictured (left to right): Cognitive Technology’s Modesta Jonauskyte, sales and marketing, and CEO Massimiliano Delsante demonstrated myInvenio at FinovateEurope 2013 in London.

“Imagine how much time you would spend to get this kind of information using a traditional business-process-analysis approach,” myInvenio’s Modesta Jonauskyte said from the Finovate stage in London. “Instead of hiring a consultant, taking weeks or even months to interview all of the resources involved in the process, here you have myInvenio immediately indicating to you the most critical activities and resources involved.”

Managers can take advantage of the cloud-based, responsive technology to track process performance remotely via iPad, as well. The Performance View allows users to run an animation that follows a timeline of the various processes. KPIs, waiting times, waiting queues, resource allocation, and more.

myInvenio_CrossPlatform

myInvenio integrates with BPM and BI platforms and is fully compatible with BPMN2.0 and XPDL2.1. And courtesy of the myInvenio Connector for Qlikview and Qlik Sense, users of this popular business-intelligence solution now have access to myInvenio’s data-visualization technology, turning “data analysis into process analysis.”

Company facts:

  • Founded in 2013
  • Headquartered in Sliema, Malta
  • More than 200 registered users
  • Employs 14
  • Launched myInvenio in January 2015

We spoke with Delsante and Jonauskyte about myInvenio on rehearsal day during FinovateEurope in February 2016. We followed up by email.

Finovate: Tell us about your favorite implementation of myInvenio.

Delsante: myInvenio was implemented within a large-scale banking organization, Credem, that has a wide banking network in Italy. Credem used myInvenio to optimise their loan application process and to later constantly monitor the process performance following the events happening in real time.

The bank is moving toward the adoption of myInvenio as the solution for banking process governance and operational intelligence.

International Women’s Day: Celebrating Females in Fintech

International Women’s Day: Celebrating Females in Fintech

WomenOfFintech

One question I’m always asked during a Finovate networking session is, “Why don’t you put more women on stage?” My answer: we don’t dictate the gender of the company’s presenter. We leave that decision up to the company.

This post is to celebrate the fintech industry’s growth of female inclusion. At the first Finovate conference in 2007, there were zero women on stage. Last month, at FinovateEurope 2016, 20% of the companies featured a woman on stage (party on!). Here’s a look at the ladies of FinovateEurope 2016:

AdviceRobo’s CCO Rosali Steenkamer

BankersLab’s Co-founder and CEO Michelle Katics

CREALOGIX’s Geraldine Critchley, head of digital marketing

ebankIT’s Diana Winstanley, business development

Envestnet’s SVP Molly Pandya, product management

Ethoca’s Helene Ladjadj, senior manager, issuer relations, EMEA

EyeVerify’s Director of Marketing Tinna Hung

IT Sector’s Inês Domingues, market manager

Livian Technologies’s Raquel Oliveira, head of product

myInvenio’s Modesta Jonauskyte, sales and marketing assistant

MyInvenio

Outshared’s Director Irene van den Brink

SBDA Group’s Anna Laskovaya, project manager

SBDAGroup

Spiff’s CMO Kristin Moller

While not all of these women are CEOs of their company, each plays a role in removing women from the “endangered species list” of fintech.

While we still have a long way to go, we can all be encouraged by the movement that has already taken place and the global initiatives that have sparked growth. The FemTech Leaders MeetUp, organized by Ghela Boskovich and Michelle Moffatt, has held three successful events this year (I attended the London meetup last month, and the attendance was impressive).

If you’re interested in attending a FemTech leaders event (men are also invited to attend), check out the upcoming meetup in Sydney or RSVP for the meetup in New York after the first day of FinDEVr New York on March 29. It’s less than a 10-minute walk from the venue.

This post wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to the ladies of Finovate and FinDEVr; the women who help make our events happen (editor’s note: And of course, Julie Schicktanz, the author of this post):

  • Leah Baldwin
  • Dom Marczak
  • Emily Olyarchuk
  • Erika Sanchez
  • Kate Schultz
  • Kate Stolte
  • Heather Stowell
  • Paula Wrzecionowska
