Schroders turns to Capriza to make everyday business processes more mobile friendly
Summary
Graham Kellen, chief digital officer at Schroders told Computerworld UK: "The fundamental problem we had is that people want to do work wherever they are." "Everyone has a mobile device and we want to identify everyday activities that take a few minutes and if they have fast access to the approval or the flow that needs to be actioned then that saves on the inefficiency of logging into a different system." Instead of the cumbersome task of creating their own mobile applications in-house, Kellen says that Capriza allowed his team to connect the apps directly to its legacy technology infrastructure. "The beauty of Capriza," Kellen says, "is you abstract that challenge to a more connective, enabling layer to get into the legacy platform with the functionality I want - which could be just one or two fields - without having to take the whole system into the mobile app. Another benefit is that Kellen and his mobile app designers dont have to create new security and access controls as Capriza simply inherits these from the backend system that it is abstracting data and processes from.
