The future of financial services is a moving target. The time when institutions could plan to introduce new products over a two year period or implement system changes with a five-year horizon has drawn to a close. To say we operate in an unpredictable time is an understatement, but how do you plan for an unknown future?

If we look beyond the surface of the general unpredictability of financial services over the past decade, certain patterns and processes emerge as a guide to navigating change. We have developed processes to understand customer needs and collaborate with them to translate these into services that can be rolled out to everyone.

It begins with reliable and dedicated market intelligence across different sectors. This helps us understand not just customer needs, but market requirements for long term growth and sustainability. A team of solution engineers then works with both customers and prospective customers to assess and understand requirements. Together with global and regional market insights and spotted trends, customer feedback and active research, we can advise customers on the best routes to building their platform and ecosystem.

As a cloud banking platform delivered in a pure SaaS model, we follow a drastically different path to development than traditional software vendors. We co-develop solutions. It begins with our customers whether they be traditional banks, nimble fintechs or telecom operators to name just a few. However the process is not just between two parties, we work with partners, both strategic and technology players, to identify opportunities for enhancements in our platform via real-world needs, business cases and architectures. This approach gives us an outside-in view, along with a myriad of different perspectives of a specific requirement.

We also actively engage in industry events to gather ideas, trends and new patterns that contribute to our product strategy, design and roadmap, both technically and functionally.

Our software development life cycle is driven by the minimal viable product (MVP) and continuous delivery practices which allow us to validate the hypothesis we make during the research and design stages, which continuously and iteratively shape the capability of the platform to the needs of prospects and customers.

Mambu functional capability is build-based on a composable architecture philosophy where the final end-to-end solution is designed and implemented by composing different APIs of internal and external services, each focusing on their specific strengths, enabling best-of-service type solutions to financial institutions. We work with partners as no single vendor can be the best at every part of an architecture. Our composable philosophy accommodates an evolutionary architecture as well as the ability to build for future approaches that are the driving force behind any innovative tech-driven platform.

To enable a composable architecture, Mambu was designed with the ability to integrate being a priority. There are multiple modern and lightweight integration mechanisms available supporting all spectrum of integration scenarios. Customers choose the components they need, they can combine best-for-purpose software from leading global technology providers allowing for changing business and market requirements.

The Mambu platform invests in pre-built integrations with several best-of-service technology providers focused on areas such as payments, cards, accounting, reporting, credit scoring, origination, and many others. Our ability to integrate services either directly via APIs or on top of our process orchestrator means we can build productised connectors to many of the leading technology providers. While this simplifies the build for customers, it still gives them control of the entire architecture.

Aside from market influences, we have a team that actively scours the market for new partners, systems to integrate with that can add value to our customer base - be they global solutions or active in just one market.

Our approach to planning in an unpredictable market is reliant on a non-negotiable requirement - the need to be flexible. We can only see the patterns that emerge in markets, learn, develop, deploy and grow because of our ability to listen to external voices and change to meet the requirements. This agility means we can help customers evolve faster at lower risk and cost.
