NORTH CANTON, Ohio and
PADERBORN, Germany, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Diebold Nixdorf has launched an innovative
crowdstorming program to help create radically new consumer
services for financial institutions that want to shift the paradigm
in an increasingly digital environment and reshape how they might
interact with customers 10 years from now and beyond.
The online brainstorming initiative, called "Rethinking services
and consumer touchpoints in the financial industry," will tap into
the global pool of more than 80,000 creative professionals
organized on the jovoto online crowdstorming platform.
With this groundbreaking initiative, Diebold Nixdorf welcomes unique, original ideas
from groups outside the industry, in an unrivaled effort to help
banks create innovative ways to bridge the gap between the digital
and physical worlds and to engage seamlessly with their customers
leveraging new and emerging technologies.
Jovoto is a community-building, collaborative model that
establishes a virtual link between skilled, entrepreneurial-minded
professionals and enterprises from nearly all sectors seeking
leading-edge solutions.
"At Diebold Nixdorf, we wake up every day
thinking about innovation and developing new solutions
for our customers. In the spirit of collaborative innovation,
we welcome ideas from inside and outside Diebold Nixdorf and invite creative thinkers
around the world to share visions for the future of this industry,"
said Andy W. Mattes, chief executive
officer, Diebold Nixdorf. "Together
with the jovoto community, we are seeking groundbreaking concepts
that rethink consumer touchpoints at a time when basic financial
transactions are becoming increasingly commoditized and
technologies like virtual reality will become commonplace.
This approach gives us the opportunity to strengthen our
pursuit of the most groundbreaking financial services for
consumers."
Diebold Nixdorf is asking the
creatives to "think outside the box" and conceive new-age financial
services that redefine the interaction between customers and
financial institutions and go beyond the classical ones being
offered today. Such services are becoming essential, as digital
applications are decreasing personal touch points and new,
non-traditional companies are entering the financial industry
virtually every day competing for banking customers.
An international jury, consisting of experts from Capital One,
BBVA and Commonwealth Bank of Australia as well as a number of fintech
companies such as FinTechCity, finovent and Gruenderszene will
select the top ideas. In addition to money awards, selected
contestants will have the opportunity to present their ideas to the
company. The winning ideas of the first phase of the contest will
be announced at a webinar on November
15, which will also provide additional information about
each applicant.
