outthink banking - kognitive und barrierefreie Financial Services
*****Searching for the english version - please see below*****
Eure Herausforderung. Keine Branche erlebt solche Umwälzungen wie die Finanzbranche. Etablierte Banken stehen unter massivem Druck, während Start-ups mit neuen Modellen punkten. Und das ist erst der Anfang. Cognitive Computing bietet die Chance, ganze Prozesse und Algorithmen so zu definieren, dass sich unser täglicher Umgang mit Finanzdienstleistungen komplett verändert – für Kunden wie für Mitarbeiter.
=> Sprach- und Gestensteuerung ersetzen das grafische Interface und eröffnen z. B. Blinden und Sehbehinderten einfache Zugänge zu ihren täglichen Bankgeschäften.
=> Barrierefreie Lösungen für Menschen mit Behinderung bilden den Startpunkt, für eine ganz neue Art des Banking, von der alle profitieren.
Euer Ziel. Beim Hackathon in Frankfurt gilt es mit Hilfe von Watson – dem kognitiven System von IBM – Lösungen zu entwickeln, die Banking neu gestalten. Für Menschen mit und ohne Behinderung. Offener, einfacher, flexibler, mobiler, sicherer. Die Lösungen können aus allen Bereichen kommen – von Überweisung und Kontostandabfrage bis hin zu Anlageberatung. Die besten Lösungen werden von einer hochkarätig besetzten Jury prämiert.

Your Challenge:
Outthink Banking - cognitive and barrier-free Financial ServicesCognitive Computing with voice and gesture control to simplify your daily financial business.Disruption is the new buzz word in business and especially the financial sector knows exactly what it means. Technological change and digital transformation have forced well established financial institutes to focus much more on the existing markets and changing client needs. Fintechs, the new start-ups in the financial services sector, realize this challange and aiming to use their chance. But changes are still in their early stages. Where are we going?Cognitive Computing offers the chance to define processes and algorithms in a way so that they can accompany users automatically, supportive and much safer in their daily financial business challanges. Improvements in processes are additionally supporting employees in the financial services sector. Another trend that we see is the declining importance of the graphical user interface (GUI) managing the man-machine-interaction and being replaced by gesture and voice control. Cognitive technologies support people with a physical handicap and provide the chance to create general accessibility for financial services.The goal of our hackathon is to develop banking solutions based on cognitive IBM Technology that better and easier access to mobile and general financial services. Our special focus covers people with handicap to empower them doing their financial services like transactions, ledger queries, investment consulting and stock-exchange overviews without any difficulty.Infos about this topic can be found here:https://www.test.de/Apps-fuer-Sehbehinderte-und-Blinde-Lotsen-fuer-das-Unsichtbare-5033370-0/https://www.ibm.com/blogs/think/2015/12/04/cognitive-assistance-for-the-blind/https://developer.ibm.com/dwblog/2016/bring-vision-to-blind-with-watson-api/
