What are Solution Integrators(SI) firms? SI firms connect the dots between a software vendor and a customer. They help software application vendors implement their software for large organizations. Implementing enterprise solutions require complex configurations, lots of manpower and implementation time for the bank to derive value.
Nevertheless, many banks have become disillusioned. Many SIs are bodyshops or simply resellers without the value-add.
How does Pilot add value? How does Pilot differentiate itself?
Most software is essentially a ‘Platform’ for organizations to configure towards their specific needs. Pilot provides the ‘Content’ Layer that helps organizations derive the value from the platforms. In short, the Playstation is a platform, the games are the content and Pilot Multimedia creates the games.
Purchasing a typical risk solution is like purchasing a house. Besides the 4 walls and a roof, one needs to have fixtures, furnishings and for that cosy feeling some ‘interior design’. This is the content layer.
What is our content? We create our scorecards, models, data schema, reports, and even risk software applications. We conduct primary research to collect local data to calibrate models. We enhance manuals, methodologies and think through all those operational issues that need to be greased and smoothen. We create all those elements that make the platform useful.
If you bought a data mining software, we help you develop the models. If you purchased off the shelf models, we help you set up the model validation team. If you purchased a financial spreading tool, we help set-up the Chart of Accounts.
By creating our own intellectual property at the ‘content’ layer, we are able to provide genuine value in our solution delivery. We aren’t body shops. We like to think that we bring something to the table.
We let software firms specialize on the platforms, we do the content and you can just run your business.
Call us if you are looking to implement a risk solution and are looking for a solution integrator which has a combined team of technology and risk consultants.
