    Indipendent study confirms substantial benefits and a 174% ROI associated with the adoption of InfoCert’s Trusted Onboarding Platform (TOP)

    Frauds decreased by more than 84%, study confirms

    Rome, Italy, 9th January 2017 – InfoCert, part of Tecnoinvestimenti Group and the largest Certification Authority in Europe, has commissioned Forrester Research, the market research company based in Cambridge MA, a study for the measurement of economic benefits associated with the adoption of InfoCert’s Trusted Onboarding Platform (TOP) by a major European bank.

    According to Forrester, the Trusted Onboarding Platform adoption enabled the bank to increase its online customer’s conversion rate by 30% and to reduce frauds by 80%. Overall the resulting benefits yielded a 174% ROI for the bank with a payback period in terms of months.

    Trusted Onboarding Platfor (“TOP”) is InfoCert’s patented solution for client on-boarding and distance contracting, enabling the remote identification of customers and the signature of contracts according to the eIDAS Regulation. TOP enables the on-boarding of new customers through a 100% digital experience in less than 8 minutes.

    The study was carried out by Forrester Consulting using the Total Economic Impact (“TEI”) methodology, developed to measure the value of a technology investment in terms of benefits, costs, risks and flexibility.

    The analysis was based on data gathered by Forrester during interviews with the bank’s representatives. The bank has used InfoCert’s TOP for several years to offer a fully digital on-boarding experience to its customers. Data were processed by Forrester using risk-adjustment criteria for alignment with potential standing of other institutions. Key findings reported in the TEI study:

    • Overall benefits amounting to 14.7 million Euro
    • Net present value of benefits amounting to 11.6 million Euro
    • A 174% Return on Investment (ROI)
    • Over 80% in frauds reduction, down from 06% to 0.01%
    • A 30% increase in prospect-to-customer conversion rate
    • A 0,6 months payback period

    The findings of this study, conducted by the independent operator Forrester, highlight the innovative value of our Trusted Onboarding Platform”, said Danilo Cattaneo, InfoCert CEO. “Most importantly, they exemplify our vision of digital transformation as the ability for an organization to revolutionize its business approach through cutting-edge digital services and to achieve immediate and substantial benefits, not only financially but also in terms of risk management, as the sharp reduction in frauds by more than 80% confirms”.
