We're at that stage of the project now where it's always good to check in with your Client to provide a quick update on how things are progressing so far and make sure that you've got the goals and scope of your project nailed down. Monday's meetings with Naandi Foundation (A social for profit) and WINIT were both inspiring and enlightening (I just can't praise enough the quality of people we've met! Great Job Leah, Wade and Sudhir!). We followed that up with a conference call with our Client in the cigar room of the Trident Hotel and gained some valuable information which further put things into perspective for the next days to come.
That's not Essan busting a move and rapping (I wouldn't blame you if you thought so...); he's explaining the conversation we had with our Client and contextualising it with what we've done so far and what needs to be done next.
Now that we've had that catch up call, and had our strategies in mind, the next few sessions were based essentially on validating our assumptions which is where the Infosys meeting came in! I dare to say this may have been the best meeting we've had so far! (and that's saying something because the rest of these meetings have been top top class!). This was followed by a meeting at the IDRBT (Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology). It was amazing to see how they're trying to address the problems of encryption in mobile banking through SMS as well as finding a way to make NFC (Near Field Communication) work with a cost effective solution!
And of course, the gang had some time to get out into the town and share with you some of their awesome capabilities in photography as well as good old fashion posing for photographs! I'll let the pictures do the talking!
