Caroline Silver joins the Adobe International Advisory Board

Over the past 18 months businesses that were able to digitise quickly stole a march on their competitors and benefited from stronger, more direct relationships with their customers. But there are some sectors where digital transformation is not quite as straightforward.

Take the financial services sector as an example. Across the entire industry, from retail banks to private equity, digital transformation and keeping pace with the digital demands of customers comes against a backdrop of governance and regulatory requirements that often vary market-to-market.

Financial services firms from around the world are looking to deepen relationships with customers with the aim of coordinating interactions across the web, mobile, email and call centres, making every experience consistent, relevant, and personalised. The result is an accelerated approach to digital strategies.

For example, Adobe customer TSB Bank engaged in a digital-first strategy using Adobe Sign to process a total of 140,000 forms in three months, saving time, money and, crucially, 15,000 branch visits during the first phase of lockdown in the UK.

TSB also implemented the Adobe Experience Platform, bringing together all of its customer data into one central location where it can be acted on in near real-time. Customers can now manage their finances in minutes, marking a significant improvement on a process which used to take several days.

In addition, the Swiss multinational, Banque Pictet was able to convert its website into a platform for lead generation with Adobe Experience Cloud, boosting qualified leads by 33 percent.

As part of our commitment to helping our customers across industries including financial services, retail, manufacturing, public sector and others shape their own digital transformation strategies, we launched the Adobe International Advisory Board to provide access to top global business leaders with proven track records of leading through change.
