Is your testing strategy keeping pace with AI? User Acceptance Testing is the final phase of the software testing lifecycle where users confirm if a system works as intended in real-world conditions. AI is changing the game by accelerating test creation, automating defect reporting and improving alignment with business goals. In our latest whitepaper, we explore how AI is reshaping the validation process and why balancing automation with human insight is essential for success.

The EU T+1 Industry Committeeโs much-anticipated High-Level Roadmap has made an unequivocal commitment to an October 2027 transition date. However, the Roadmap presents legally non-binding recommendations rather than mandatory obligations, which may dispel a sense of urgency around the task at hand. As we saw with the UKโs Accelerated Settlement Taskforce report, market alignment is most successful when firms engage early, prioritise automation and prepare thoroughly. In our latest article we highlight three key areas within the Roadmap that firms should prioritize as they prepare for the transition. โก๏ธ https://www.capco.com/intelligence/capco-intelligence/eu-tplus1-transition Author: @Steve Higgins

Many financial institutions focus on immediate savings like headcount cuts or vendor reductions at the expense of long-term efficiency. Without addressing structural inefficiencies or aligning efforts with strategic goals, these institutions risk reduced capacity, operational friction, and stalled growth. This blog explores how aligning talent, optimizing workflows, and better leveraging technology can eliminate low-value work and drive lasting impact. By combining tactical cost actions with strategic transformation levers, institutions can build a more resilient, scalable, and efficient future.
