EDC, in partnership with Quadient, recently participated in an exclusive MIT Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) Connections boardroom session in Dubai, bringing together senior banking leaders to explore the evolving landscape of customer communications in the financial sector.
Held under the theme “Redefining Customer Communications in the Banking Industry,” the session focused on how financial institutions can move beyond transactional messaging toward more meaningful, trust-driven engagement.
Representing EDC, Paul Andrews, Director of Business and Operations, shared key insights on the strategic role of communication in building long-term customer relationships. As he noted during the discussion, “When customers receive relevant, timely information, it shows them they’re understood — that’s how you build trust.”
The boardroom dialogue examined several critical priorities shaping the sector today, including:
- Rising customer expectations in an increasingly digital-first environment
- The role of advanced Customer Communications Management (CCM) solutions in enabling personalization at scale
- Practical strategies to enhance engagement, strengthen governance, and ensure regulatory compliance
Participants also discussed how banks can modernize legacy communication systems to improve operational efficiency while delivering consistent, omnichannel customer experiences.
We extend our appreciation to MIT SMR Middle East, Quadient, and all participating leaders who contributed to an engaging and forward-looking discussion.
As financial institutions continue to navigate digital transformation, EDC remains committed to helping organizations deliver secure, governed, and customer-centric communication strategies that strengthen trust and drive measurable impact.
