A week has passed since Sibos doors have shut down for 2009.
All in all, the event summed up more participants than expected, but a lot fewer than Vienna(maybe a man*days report on the participation will bring a clearer view ). Moreover, the split floors system ( all banks stacked on the ground floor and all partners & vendors based one and a half stories upwards ) did not help motivating people to travel between these two. I think that maybe a better shuffle of banks-corporates-vendors would’ve helped having better networking within the exhibition center.
For us, it was a pleasure both meeting old friends and making new ones whom we’ll be delighted to see next year closer to home, in Amsterdam, or even sooner than that.
Already having 10 years of continuous presence as participants & the first time Sibos exhibitors experience in Vienna last year, Hong Kong edition, even if further away from Bucharest, went easier on us as to where stress, organization, preparation & presentation were concerned. We knew what to expect.
Sessions and conferences were interesting, but all wandering around the same old buzz-words we’ve been hearing for quite some time now. Everybody expects regulations, everybody’s trying to swim ashore far away from the crisis’ swirls, everybody wants things to be simple, transparent and clear. Everybody wants innovation & not many think there is much of it around.
Innotribe was fun – showing thumbs up to new tools of targeting the right kind of audience: Facebook, Twitter, blogs. On Facebook, our team members already do have accounts (go ahead, search, add & get in contact with them). Twitter & blogging we’ve only just started experimenting as it seems to be the next step taken by many in this business – voilà! I think it should make banking & bankers more human & people-oriented than before, which in fact might bring the outstanding innovation of the retail banking distribution chain.
Sibos 2k9 was all about finding partners, finding opportunities & networking; some would add parties, but those were scarce, letting everybody invade the Lan Kwai Fong pubs & bars all Sibos week long. There was a Sibos party after all & it was there, in LKF. Each & every night ( except for the typhoon night of course ).
We’re thrilled with this year’s edition and with finding this strong Asian market willing to expand to Europe, where we, even though a very small company, have our say. Hong Kong brought us huge opportunities and new ideas which we’ll certainly bring to life by Amsterdam 2010.

EBAday 2009 in Vienna marks the first participation of Business Information Systems as an exhibitor at the renowned event organized by the Euro Banking Association and Finextra Research.
It was a great opportunity for us to connect with peers, to showcase our solutions addressing the financial transactions space, to receive first-hand relevant and comprehensive content, to learn more about the latest trends and focuses in the European financial industry.
Today was Sibos smart casual day, meaning we were more or less out of heels & monkey suits.
Not that many people around, but those who were inside the exhibition center were a lot more relaxed & warmer one towards another.
Even though everybody was anxious to catch the first plane home, those who couldn’t get by our booth during the 4 days real Sibos week, have stopped by today to get a better picture of our business focus & practices.
Before dismantling our booth we played a demanding Switzer-mania vs Ro-land fuss-ball match at our Italian neighbors. As it always happens, half won, half lost.
At least teams were mixed up, so neither country lost for real. But those holding the ball were happiest when faith turned the score 10 to 5.
Then after we cleared all our trails from HKCEC, dropped our notebooks at the hotel & rushed to enjoying Hong Kong.

Friday highlights
The last day of Sibos 2009 went by without even getting the chance to notice when it was lunch time, noon, closing plenary time and over & out for everybody.
I say last day, as tomorrow only the exhibitors will be present for a short while. Therefore we’ll still be there to say good byes to everybody & start tearing down our shop.
Subjects of the day were looming around innovation. And innovation was as well the center of attention all week long at Innotribe.
The closing plenary featured quite a show on innovation, which everyone seemed to enjoy ( impressive speaker Mr Guy Kawasaki ).
So there is a strong need for ideas & change… How surprising!

This was the busiest day (so far).
Apart from all pre-arranged meetings, lots of people dropped by to see what we’re up to this year around.
We split ourselves between stand, meetings & must-not-miss sessions & we could barely cover everything up.
I missed at least 2 conferences I would’ve loved attending. Will settle with today’s Sibos Issues for a short brief on the subject.
The highlight of the day was signing the targeted agency contract with SWIFT, meant to enhance delivery of complete messaging solutions to joint customers. The lines of business targeted are Workers’ Remittances, Bulk Payments, MACUG/SCORE, Cash Reporting, Exceptions & Investigations and Alliance Integrator.
All these solutions are available on our products on show at our home of the week (stand 3E13).
Demos of all these are available upon request, as well as any information upon the why & the how.
Horia Beschea, CTO, and Alain Raes, Chief Executive EMEA, have signed on behalf of BIS and SWIFT the agreement between the two parties under many flashes of lights at SWIFT’s booth.
We celebrated this new type of partnership by opening a few bottles of our “black maiden” wine, much appreciated by both those who already were fans of this sort of wine and by those who were trying it for the first time.
