Banks and Insurance Companies are Keen to Leverage IT Innovations, but Where do they Start?
Consumers are becoming “smarter” every day. From smart phones to smart houses, people are embracing the interactive experience—using the humble mobile phone, for instance, to call home, switch on the lights, and program the TV.
