An implementation project for any technical solution typically means time-intensive, complex, and costly projects. Today, the convenience of plug and play app solutions has overturned this norm and technical solutions have been streamlined by the provider to win the client time, and relieve him of complex and drawn-out projects. With the upcoming, ever stricter and highly complex ESG regulation, it is however, of utmost importance to use an efficient setup from the beginning in order to effectively cover the complexity and scope of the topic before an optimal technical solution can be reached.
Unlike other plug and play software, ESG requires a careful strategy to unlock value
The term “digital transformation” evokes notions of positive business impact via improved efficiency after a long and complex transformation project. With respect to the implementation of ESG into the wealth management process, a plug and play solution is best developed by accessing expertise from the beginning. The topic is highly complex and open to a wide variety of implementation levels before a plug and play solution can be reached. In this context, aspects such as experience, market know-how and ESG expertise on the business side are key to defining the technical target solution and avoiding loss of time and effort.
ESG is probably the hottest topic nowadays since both ends are pushing very hard – clients and the regulators. However, ESG cannot be compared to recent regulation transformation efforts such as MiFID, FinSA, GDPR, and CRR. If done correctly, taking advantage of the competitive advantages arising from the process, the adherence to and implementation of ESG regulation provides a huge space of action where doing things right and doing the right things, can create a great deal of business momentum.
