On April 2nd, we once again held a great business event, this time together with our consulting Partner X8X at Zurich’s famous Restaurant Baerengasse (co-founded by Yello’s Dieter Meier).

The after-work session was another milestone in our marketing success: about 30 attendees came from over 13 different financial services institutions, from as far as Valais, Berne or St. Gallen - but also from just around the corner. The keynote was held by Bank Julius Baer’s representatives Roman Riederer (Director Compliance) and Christian Hoffmann (Project Manager).

René Hürlimann, Numcom’s Sales Director, opened the 60 minutes session sharp 17:30. Tough for a passionate sales guy like him, René didn’t have the chance to go through his regular sales pitch but only had some 5 minutes to give the expectant attendees a quick background of the event's host, Numcom Software.

Next, Costas Papapoulios, Partner at X8X Process Solutions AG, took the lead. With customers such as Alstom, Novartis, Swisscom and UBS, our friends at X8X have an amazing track record. Costas pointed out crucial aspects, detailing how process consulting can help companies achieve a paradigm shift by merging the requirements of Business and IT.

The keynote was held by Roman Riederer and Christian Hoffmann, the two above-mentioned professionals of Bank Julius Baer, who captured the attentive audience with their story of the implementation of Appway. The project's goal was to automate and mainstream their Compliance processes, and it garnered a lot of positive feedback within the company: “The CoRA (Compliance and Regulatory Application) project was a full success and many colleagues at the front desk, working with Appway every day, are quite enthusiastic about the simplicity and the ease of use. The speedy implementation of Appway within just three months encouraged the project members”, said Roman Riederer, Director Compliance of Bank Julius Baer. Furthermore, Christian Hoffmann, Project Manager of the bank, was keen to point out the need for ready-to-change solutions: “Not only was Appway quickly integrated into our existing systems, but we have also been able to deploy all software updates while the platform was in productive use.”

Michael Trummer, Solution Manager at Numcom and in charge of the CoRA project, inherited the microphone. With an amazing live showcase Michael allowed direct insights into Appway and in doing so – taking just a couple of minutes before the eyes of the impressed audience – made clear that Appway indeed has the power and agility to speed up the management of a process driven application by 50%.

After the official part, everyone enjoyed Baerengasse’s delicious Argentinean style apéro riche. Thanks to the attendees we all had great discussions, or simply shared impressions of the evening and developed new ideas. The echo to the speeches was very positive. Many of our guests left later than they expected, still amazed by the simplicity and the endless possibilities of Appway.
