The company is renowned for championing unique initiatives to drive innovation in the financial sector. With headquarters in Croatia and Slovenia, it services clients from the financial and banking sectors across Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Intesa Sanpaolo Card maintains and manages different type of card-holder data for more than 5.6 million accounts, processing over 600 million transactions a year, 1.5 million a day and 87 transactions per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\">An Innovative Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The foundation of Intesa Sanpaolo Card is based on complementary strengths of the two strongest and most innovative cards businesses within the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, Banka Koper and Privredna banka Zagreb, and their transition from local companies into a fully international organization.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ISPC-2015-inin_001-717x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ideas are innovative when minds are sharp\" title=\"Ideas are innovative when minds are sharp\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Both of these companies had previously employed a strong culture that epitomized productive innovation in the financial sector by encouraging employees to submit ideas for new products and services, along with process improvements and general employee feedback. However at this point the innovation initiative was handled offline, with ideas being submitted either through email or a physical <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/solutions\/by-use-case\/employees-suggestion-box\/\">suggestion box<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">After establishing Intesa Sanpaolo Card, it was seen as crucial to nurture this existing culture of innovation, and encourage collaboration between employees across the new locations and business units. They realized that <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/use-cases\/by-business-challenge\/innovation-management\/\">innovation management software<\/a> could be the solution to both of these issues, but identifying the right vendor would not be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The team at Intesa Sanpaolo Card reached out to over 20 different idea and <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/use-cases\/by-business-challenge\/innovation-management\/\">innovation management<\/a> software providers to try and find the perfect solution. During a screening process which lasted several months, Intesa Sanpaolo Card filtered out the platforms which would not suit their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/resources\/case-study\/ispc-idea-management\/\">Get the Full Case Study<\/a> Don\u2019t Miss Out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\">The Requirements:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">As a<a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/solutions\/by-industry\/financial-institutes\/\"> financial organization<\/a>, information security was one of Intesa Sanpaolo Card\u2019s highest priorities. They needed to find a solution with very high <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/products\/idea-management\/security\/\">security<\/a> credentials, and preferably the option to have the software deployed locally to their servers. In short, the system would need to be versatile, robust, and ideally suited to innovation in the financial sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Qmarkets was the clear winner here, with experience working on numerous highly sensitive projects, and passing security audits from military and government organizations. However most importantly, Qmarkets was more than happy to <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/products\/idea-management\/deployment-models\/\">deploy<\/a> their software directly to customer servers, rather than software as a service through the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Configuration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the innovation software vendors on the current market offer a standardized out-of-the-box solution, which offers some very basic idea submission and collaboration functionality. These systems can sometimes be useful for very small audiences who want to experiment with idea submission, but for companies who want to actually foster engagement and generate repeatable results, it\u2019s necessary to invest in a tailor-made platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Intesa Sanpaolo Card understood this, and wanted a platform which had the capacity to not just represent their company visually, but also technically. The ideal solution here was the <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/products\/idea-management\/editions-2\/\">Q-flex edition<\/a> of Qmarkets\u2019 main <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/use-cases\/by-business-challenge\/idea-management\/\">idea management<\/a> product. Unlike Q-max, a top of the line package which includes all features, Q-flex allows companies to pick and choose the features that they require a-la-carte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>\u201cOut of 20 Innovation management vendors, Qmarkets was the only software which adapted perfectly to our needs&#8230;\u201d <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Scalability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">As a company with international offices and operations, it was important for Intesa Sanpaolo Card to find an innovation management solution which is not only capable of helping <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/solutions\/by-organization-size\/sme\/\">SMEs<\/a> with only a few hundred users, but also <a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/solutions\/by-organization-size\/enterprise\/\">enterprise-grade<\/a> projects with tens of thousands of users. Qmarkets again topped the list of competitors in this area, with an offering that is designed to guide clients on a clear path to expansion, and an expansive portfolio of additional solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Trust is a key pillar of all business relationships, but it is especially crucial when it comes to a software implementation project. It was important for Intesa Sanpaolo Card to choose a vendor who could deliver on their promises, and work with them on a continuous basis to ensure that they achieved their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">This was never an issue with Qmarkets. From the first demonstration which they received from Qmarkets\u2019 Commercial Director, Andrew Corbishley, they felt sure that they were in safe hands. This feeling extended to all employees which the client met, with one manager specifically citing how knowledgeable and accommodating\u00a0the team were in helping them to launch their project. This, combined with Qmarkets extensive experience working with other financial organizations, left Intesa Sanpaolo Card very satisfied with their choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/resources\/case-study\/ispc-idea-management\/\">Get the Full Case Study<\/a>  Don\u2019t Miss Out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\">Crowdsourcing Innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, Intesa Sanpaolo Card went from strength to strength as they continued to use Qmarkets\u2019 software to support strategic objectives within the organization and pioneer innovation in the financial sector. The benefits which this customer has seen as a result of this project are numerous, from the innovative ideas which employees have contributed, to the collaboration and engagement which they\u2019ve enjoyed just through participating in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Fill out the registration form below to download a free copy of the full case study with Intesa Sanpaolo Card, and discover how collective intelligence can be leveraged to drive innovation in the financial sector and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/analyst-reviews\/\">Click here<\/a> to discover what leading analysts have to say about Qmarkets\u2019 solution.
