Energized to present at SBOS Frankfurt 2025 on “Scaling AI in Banking: From Pilots to Impact.” A packed house, sharp questions, and a rich discussion reminded me just how pivotal this moment is for banking and financial services. We are at an inflection point: ·      AI and Generative AI are moving from pilots to enterprise-scale adoption. ·      Quantum Computing is on the horizon. ·      Technology-led reinvention is reshaping how banks deliver value, grow revenues, cut costs, manage risk, and reimagine operations. As productivity increases in every stage of the software development life cycle redefined by GenAI, the business model of the future comes into focus — one centered on customers, platforms, and ecosystems, with streamlined and optimized middle- and back-office operations. For banking leaders, three questions feel urgent: 1.    Are your strategies bold enough? 2.    Are you executing fast enough? 3.    Do you have the talent and partnerships to seize what’s next? The next 3–5 years promise extraordinary opportunities: better outcomes for clients, transformative growth for institutions, and exciting career paths for bankers. The future doesn’t just look bright — it’s arriving fast. 🌟 IBM Institute for Business Value Gemma Godfrey Paolo Sironi Robert Mercorella #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIROI #FutureOfWork #BankingInnovation #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #FutureReady

For Dr. Ulrich Störk, Member of PwC Deutschland’s EMEA Executive Team leading Technology Alliances, the challenges behind AI adoption are real. Companies often expect immediate cost savings from generative AI, but without clean data, workforce readiness and leadership alignment, those gains remain elusive. AI success depends more on solid foundations than on flashy models. With technology evolving rapidly, planning must extend beyond today’s use cases to capture tomorrow’s opportunities.

Ever wondered how AI and quantum fit together to classify medical images? 🔥 Fire up your inner geek with this cutting-edge research by our SAP colleagues jointly with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and Aqarios.    The researchers used parallel quantum annealing to train Boltzmann machines – a type of neural network that models complex probability distributions – for classifying medical images. By embedding multiple problem instances in parallel on a quantum computer, they reduced sampling time and achieved a 70% speed-up compared to previous approaches.   Why I think it matters?   ⚙️ Boltzmann machines could be used beyond healthcare – in manufacturing, predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, and data generation. ⚙️ Training quantum Boltzmann machines has been a major challenge – parallel quantum annealing could offer a promising way to scale. ⚙️ Quantum machine learning is evolving quickly. This research highlights one of many new directions that could make quantum AI more practical.   Curious about your thoughts and ideas!

📈 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐰: 𝐇𝐑 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 📉 Together with the personalmagazin and WorkTech Advisory, we have once again analyzed the DACH #revenues of the leading #HR #software vendors. The numbers for 2024 are in: Despite a cooling economy, HR software in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland continues to grow strongly - clearly outperforming the overall market 🚀. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: 📊 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡: The top 25 vendors generated €2.65 billion in revenues (+11.4% YoY). Growth is slightly slower than 2023’s record pace, but still highly dynamic. 🧩 𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦: HR suites grew >15% on average, outperforming Point Solutions (+6%), as companies focus more on integrated systems in (current) uncertain times. However, there are also point solutions in high demand during those periods. 👥 𝐊𝐌𝐔-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝: SME digitalization remains a key growth driver, though momentum slowed compared to last year with increasing number of players and international competition. 💶 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 2024 was shaped by active M&A in accordance with several vendors complementing a suite offering. More consolidation in 2025 is real and set to continue in 2025. 🔎 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡: The updated “Watch List 2025” shows the breadth and diversity of #HRTech players with strong momentum. It's featuring fast-growing challengers across all disciplines from recruiting, payroll, time & attendance, to employee apps. Thanks to Reiner Straub, Matthias Haller and the personalmagazin team for the great collaboration, to Wolfgang Witte for trusting us to continue his work and to the many HR software leadership teams for their insights over the past months! 👉 Full ranking and details in the new Personalmagazin issue – link in comments. #HRTech #DigitalTransformation #DACH #FutureOfWork #zpe2025 #worktech
