(Image credit: Shutterstock.com/13_Phunkod) In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, many countries recognize the urgency of embracing automation to maintain a competitive edge. As a result, there is a growing realization of the need for senior executive oversight and support for automation initiatives to effectively navigate the digital era. The concept of appointing a Chief Automation officer has gained traction due to the increasing acknowledgement of automation’s role in transforming business operations and driving efficiency. Despite the widespread recognition of process automation as a fundamental component of digital transformation strategies for 70% of organizations, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, it’s important to approach this with caution. The tech industry is constantly evolving, and trends shift rapidly from one innovation to the next. Instead of hastily creating roles driven by industry hype, what’s truly essential is strong executive sponsorship and leadership for advanced automation programs at the most influential levels. This approach should be fortified with comprehensive business acumen and a robust network to effectively instigate substantial change. If you’re serious about automation, it needs to be embedded into a primary C-suite role that’s not transitional, and a person able to tie-in, and federate tasks or projects across the […]

Digital transformation can come even to industries where change happens slowly. As the financial services industry grapples with the rapid pace of digital transformation, cloud banking has emerged as an enabler of innovation, agility and cost efficiency. By leveraging cloud computing, financial institutions can streamline operations, enhance customer experiences and accelerate the development of new products and services. That’s the space where software providers like nCino , which on Tuesday (Aug. 27) reported its second quarter 2025 earnings, play — giving them a unique insight into the banking sector’s ongoing evolution. “In the U.S. it’s a volume business; we don’t see as many very large transformation initiatives as we did in the past … in the EU, it is lumpy. They are somewhat behind the U.S., and the pipeline is seeing bigger transformation deals,” said Pierre Naudé , chairman and CEO at nCino. nCino sells to financial institutions, enterprise banks, regional banks, community banks and credit unions, and the majority of its revenue comes from the U.S. “Platform deals, where they buy everything from us, that moves the needle,” Naudé said. “In Europe, they prefer point solutions.” nCino’s total revenues for the second quarter were $132.4 million, a 13% […]
