  2. The challenge with customer relevance • Every AM has a mix of customers • This spreads the risk but dilutes relevance and understanding • In finance we have 4 general sub-verticals • Far too generic • e.g. Insurance versus retail insurance, Lloyds brokers, re-insurance, underwriters, insurance brokers….. • Where is the money in “insurance”? • Poor leverage of ‘business’ successes • No real drivers of sub-vertical sharing • ‘Virtual Sub-Vertical’ teams supplement our current structure

  3. Virtual Sub Vertical Teams • More relevance to the customer • Understand his ‘exact’ business, challenges and opportunities • Better informed sales force • Successes, what works, what doesn’t • Key ecosystem partners • Key Industry events • Market transitions • Better understand where the money (e.g. historical Cisco spend) • More focused solution creation • Target un-farmed sub-verticals • Square peg and a square hole!

  4. Increasing the sub-verticals • Investment Bank • Exchange • Brokerage • Hedge Fund • Information Provider • Investment Banking • Retail Banking • Insurance • Payment card industry • Retail Bank • Building Society • Sub-Prime Sub-verticals need to be defined • Retail Insurance • Lloyds Market • Re-Insurance • Card Card • Other
