Take Five with Javier Borkenztain! 2024: Economic Resurgence and Technological Leaps in the Financial Industry

SHARE ARTICLE:

Choppy past, exciting future

The past two years have been characterized by economic uncertainty due to the rapid rise in US interest rates. Massive layoffs in the IT industry with no real signs of recovery coupled with limited access to funds left many FinTech companies concerned for the future.  As we approach 2024, the financial sector is gearing up for a year of significant economic resurgence. 

At the same time, we have been witness to the technological breakthrough of our era, AI and LLMs (Large Language Models), that have reshaped the way we work and live. AIs are potentiators of human intelligence and knowledge. Much like the crane operator, when used by capable individuals, AI and LLMs supercharge our abilities, propelling us to new levels of achievement. At Fiter, we see these innovations not just as tools, but as catalysts of change. 

AI applications in the financial industry 

In the financial industry, the implications are profound. AI can quickly sort through and analyze large volumes of financial data in real time, offering insights that were previously unattainable. This capability is vital for enhancing financial services, from refining risk assessment strategies to bolstering fraud prevention mechanisms. Open-source LLMs, with their vast reservoirs of data, bring forth an era of groundbreaking applications, set to redefine financial services.

Especially exciting are the open source LLMs trained on open data and available to everyone. Some of these LLMs come with permissive licenses, allowing people to use them as needed. These open LLMs will enable the creation of a novel generation of applications that forge the rest of the decade and beyond.

Meanwhile at Fiter…

At Fiter, our early adoption and integration of AI technologies like Chat GPT and GitHub Copilot exemplify our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation. These tools elevate our team members’ productivity, allowing them to do more with less. A capable developer can now leverage AI to achieve top-notch proficiency, while the most seasoned expert can use AI to surpass all known efficiency benchmarks.

This democratization of advanced technology underscores a critical point which we at Fiter have quickly realized – in today’s competitive landscape, embracing AI is not just advantageous; it’s essential.

The Vision

Fiter’s vision goes beyond the technological adoption aspect. Our strategic plans include not just expanding our global footprint and entering uncharted markets but exploring new services aligned with the evolving demands of the financial sector. We plan to not only grow in size, but to revolutionize the core industry with standardization through open-source software.

Our optimism for the future stems from Fiter’s track record of identifying opportunities in even the rockiest market conditions. Fiter is proud to be the global leader in Apache Fineract implementations, but our goals encompass redefining the future of the financial industry.  

In seven years, Fiter has secured a global presence combined with local, real-time support. Fiter serves clients in over 30 countries, while maintaining teams in over 25 cities. Our impact is global, but we are just getting started. We envision a future where Fiter not only leads in technology but also sets new standards in customer service, innovation, and operational efficiency.

As we look ahead, Javier sees a luminous path for Fiter. We’re more than just a company; we’re a beacon of innovation in the financial industry. The best, indeed, is yet to come, and we invite you to join us for the ride!

Happy New Year!
