Celent Launches Banking Blog

Celent, a Boston-based financial research and consulting firm, is pleased to announce the launch of a banking blog. The service will deliver thought-provoking, interesting, and timely perspectives beyond those offered in our research.

"The blog gives us another means of delivering the Celent viewpoint," says Bart Narter, senior vice president of Celent’s Banking Group. “Our industry is evolving rapidly, and we want to share our perspectives in a convenient, real time, informal manner.”

“Our global team of banking analysts will all contribute posts to the blog regularly,” adds Jacob Jegher, senior analyst and creator of the banking blog. “Of course, we’ll still reach out to clients and research contacts the way we always have, and clients will see the same steady flow of reports as always. But anyone who tracks banking industry issues will gain additional Celent insights via the blog.”

Topics that have already been addressed by blog posts include the role of blogs in Web 2.0 and healthcare banking trends. Future posts will mirror Celent’s coverage focus on retail and business banking, corporate banking, healthcare banking, IT and business strategies, and any hot topics that emerge.

Access to the Celent Banking blog is free. Please visit the blog at: http://bankingblog.celent.com.
