The financial tech, or “fintech,” phenomenon is changing the
landscape of financial services. Traditional ways of providing financial
services such as making payments, accepting deposits, and lending and risk
management are being abandoned as new channels, made possible by digital
technology, are opened up.
Technological innovation hasn’t just given rise to a new
type of institution, the fintech, but has affected the culture of establishment
institutions. In a conversation (http://dtn.fm/egT2M) with Michael Bloomberg,
founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) chairman
and CEO Lloyd Blankfein acknowledged that, “Goldman Sachs is a technology
firm.” The same sentiment was expressed in JPMorgan Chase’s latest Annual Report,
in which the bank’s COO, Matt Zames, proclaims, “We are a technology company.”
So too is Alternet Systems, Inc. (OTC: ALYI), a company
whose mission is to provide innovative solutions that facilitate and expedite
commerce by enhancing customer experience and improving efficiency.
To do so, Alternet has transformed itself into an accelerator
of high growth, emerging companies in the multi-channel payments, point-of-sale
and data analytics fields. In April 2015, the company signed an agreement with
R4 Technologies, LLC to market and promote R4’s purpose-built cloud platform
for micro-segment data, insight and engagement to help brands leverage data and
automate yield optimization. Alternet will collaborate with R4 across Latin
America and the Caribbean. In May 2015, Alternet signed a commercial
distribution software reseller agreement with Brazil-based APPI Tecnologia S/A.
As a leading IT company, APPI specializes in the integration and development of
technical solutions and software for the electronic transaction payment
industry. Alternet will promote APPI’s unique, innovative, and efficient
solutions in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
Alternet intends to deliver technology solutions to
financial organizations that manage a wide range of payment channels, including
development engines that extend the capabilities of processing across all
capture devices. These include point-of-sale (POS), mobile phones, tablets, PCs
and web-based applications. These solutions deliver channel specific abilities.
Alternet will collaborate with leading manufacturers to deliver solutions that
meet the needs of device and channel management. Growing demand from mobile
point-of-sale terminals, along with increased emphasis on advanced analytics
features, are significant factors for the growing demand for software in the
point-of-sale terminals market.
Leading Alternet into the future is company chairman and CEO
Henryk Dabrowski. Dabrowski has more than 25 years of experience creating,
leading and successfully harvesting information technology and telecom ventures
on a global basis. Over the last 10 years he has actively invested in both
public and privately held companies. He has extensive experience in emerging
financial transactions platforms, including mobile wallets, convergent payments
schemes, network file systems (NFS), stored value and prepaid services. From
October 2009 to March 2014, Dabrowski was chairman and CEO of Utiba Americas, a
leading developer of mobile financial services software solutions, which
through his efforts reached 66% market share in the Americas. Under his
leadership, Utiba Americas successfully engaged projects with America Movil,
Digicel Group, Tigo, Citibank and several other banks and Mobile Network
Operators. Utiba Americas was successfully and profitably sold to Amdocs
(NASDAQ: DOX) in March of 2014.
Before that, Dabrowski was CEO of a joint venture with the
Chinese firm Tianjin Contactless Payment Systems (TCPS), which provided
multiple NFS prepaid fare collections systems for the transportation industry
in the Americas.
From February 2002 to December 2010, Dabrowski was chairman
and CEO of TekVoice Communications, an international Voice over IP services and
wholesale billing platform provider. During his tenure at TekVoice, Dabrowski
built a highly successful network of international services, customers and partnerships
in Brazil, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras,
Argentina and Haiti. And prior to that, Dabrowski held executive positions at
RKM IT Solutions, a Latin American IT & telephony integrations solution
provider, and Vox2Vox Communications, a global IP telephony and value added
services provider.
