Fintech and business resilience and flexibility
Despite the hardships of war and the vulnerable economic state, the IT industry export increased by 5,4% compared to the previous year, and the entire FinTech sector reached almost 80% of pre-war results. 96% of respondents have continued operating in Ukraine after the invasion. Even more, 7 new companies were founded. Moreover, 55% of companies are currently scaling their business, 33% – are already operating on the international market, and 52% plan to expand on a global scale this year. Approximately half of all companies have employees in the Armed Forces. 87% of respondents supported volunteer activities and donated part of their income to different campaigns and initiatives.
Important regulatory changes and national initiatives that will determine the further industry development
The Laws on Virtual Assets, Cloud Services, and Payment Services were signed or took effect. Some key government initiatives, as well as signed international partnerships and agreements, are considered to accelerate the development of the FinTech industry and open up more opportunities for valuable cooperation between companies and further creation of new interesting products and projects.
Technologies that will shape future business and customer interaction
Referring to the study, API, cloud services and chatbots are among the key demand and commonly used technologies. More and more businesses go online and feel the need to transform their services and communications to the current market conditions and customer expectations. The research claims that according to Gartner forecasts, 70% of office employees will interact with chatbots and communication platforms daily by the end of 2023.
Webitel’s internal customer statistics confirm this concept. We noticed a strong client interest in cloud PBX, API integrations, voice bots, and chatbots. During 2022 and the first half of 2023, we implemented dozens of projects, and each of them included one or more of the above technologies. With deep expertise in building seamless omnichannel communications and understanding the needs of the financial industry, Webitel offers perfect services and tools to automate contact centers, manage teams, processes, and communications as well as interact with customers smoothly and productively.
