The biggest issues for 2021 are the economic recovery from the interest rate crisis and its effects on the financial sector. Our operating environment is still partly unstable, but the outlook has brightened. Demand for our services has remained stable despite the corona pandemic and we expect demand to continue to grow as the corona situation eases. When planning for the future, risk management and business modeling services as well as data utilization are a great support for our customers.
The changing market situation in the banking and finance sector creates a strong need for ALM Partners’ core competencies, services and solutions now and in the future. Banks’ core systems and information management upgrade projects require a significant amount of expertise and solutions that ALM Partners is able to offer according to customer needs.
In line with our strategy, we aim for annual growth in actual operations of more than 15% also in the future. Our advantage is continuous development and innovation. Changes in the financial sector, even more extensive services and the continuous development investments of previous years will create a strong foundation for the continued growth and internationalization in 2021 as well.
