Podcasts about Back office

For decades, colleges and universities have treated the financial aid office as a dense, back-office administrative function—a labyrinth of tax-code-like regulations to be managed out of sight. But as higher education faces a stark demographic cliff and intense competition for shrinking student cohorts, this legacy mindset is proving fatal. In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Robert Heil, CEO of Financial Aid Services (FAS), to discuss why financial aid is actually the chief influencer of student yield and freshman retention.Robert breaks down the hidden risks threatening institutional survival today, highlighting a critical staffing crisis where more than half of all financial aid offices across the United States are operating at 75% capacity or less. He shares sobering data from the field, noting that under-resourced schools that fell out of Title IV compliance in 2025 faced an average of $750,000 in fines, fees, and penalties. Beyond compliance, Robert reveals the exact statistical timeline of student behavior, explaining why delaying a financial aid package past a two-week window drastically slashes a university's enrollment success.The conversation also goes macro, tackling the incoming July 1st aggregate loan limits for graduate programs and the potential of Workforce Pell to fund short-term job readiness. Finally, Robert shares his "Secretary of Education" wish list, explaining how dismantling the 120-year-old Carnegie unit framework could finally spark a wave of modern, affordable, competency-based innovation across higher education. Tune in to learn how forward-thinking institutions are leveraging financial aid as a service to drive net tuition revenue and secure operational stability.

Breach FM diese Woche mit einer Premiere und zugleich Ausnahme. Da sich Max Imbiel noch im wohlverdienten Urlaub befinde, nehme ich aus Oslo eine kurze Solo Folge auf.Am Sonntag früh kam die Meldung: Anthropic hat Fable 5 – die öffentliche, mit Guardrails versehene Version von Mythos – sowie Mythos selbst abgeschaltet, auf Anweisung des US-Handelsministeriums per Export-Control-Direktive. Da die Order auch Anthropics eigene nicht-US-amerikanische Mitarbeiter traf, blieb Anthropic keine Wahl, als beide Modelle global zu deaktivieren.Zur Einordnung: Aus Regierungskreisen heißt es, Guardrails von Fable ließen sich jailbreaken. Anthropic selbst hat das als engen, nicht-universellen Jailbreak eingestuft, der auch bei anderen Modellen möglich ist. Ich sehe drei mögliche Erklärungen: echte Sicherheitsbedenken, wirtschaftlicher Protektionismus – oder der andauernde Kleinkrieg zwischen White House und Anthropic. Wahrscheinlich eine Mischung. Was mich am meisten beschäftigt: Wenn es wirklich um Sicherheit geht, warum wurde es nicht auch für US-Bürger gesperrt? Die EU-Souveränitätsdebatte bespreche ich lieber nächste Woche mit Max.Zweites Thema: Ein Varonis-Report, den ich unbedingt empfehlen möchte. Varonis hat einen OpenClaw-Agenten in einer realistischen Google-Workspace-Umgebung mit internen E-Mails, AWS-Credentials und CRM-Daten klassischem Phishing ausgesetzt. Ergebnis: Der Agent hat auf Social Engineering fast immer reagiert – Credentials rausgegeben, Kundendaten extern verschickt. Nicht weil das LLM ausgetrickst wurde, sondern weil es ein Trust-Problem ist. Wer gerade agentische Systeme im Backoffice aufbaut, sollte diesen Report lesen.Anthropic Statement zur Abschaltunghttps://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-accessHintergrund: Amazon-CEO löste Abschaltung aus (Fortune)https://fortune.com/2026/06/14/how-a-warning-from-amazon-led-the-white-house-to-shut-down-anthropics-mythos-model/Varonis: KI-Agenten und Phishinghttps://www.varonis.com/blog/openclaw-phishing

Send us a message!In this episode, we are joined by Ed Ulmer, CEO of Barefoot, for a conversation about trust accounting, vacation rental technology, and what operators need from their systems as their businesses become more complex. Ed shares how his background in tourism, destination marketing, real estate, and software all shaped the way he looks at vacation rental management today. For him, the industry has always come back to one core idea: trust. The conversation takes a deep dive into why trust accounting should not be treated as a back-office function. When vacation rental companies manage properties on behalf of owners, they are also managing funds, contracts, obligations, and expectations. As companies grow, that complexity only increases. Episode Chapters:03:18 - Ed's path from tourism, real estate, and software into vacation rental technology11:56 - Why vacation rental management is built on trust17:37 - What trust accounting really means for property managers25:24 - Why managing owner and guest funds gets more complex as companies grow27:27 - How state regulations and real estate requirements impact vacation rental operators30:10 - Why loyalty programs are harder to build in vacation rentals than in hotels33:48 - How PMS technology can support concierge services, rewards, and guest retention39:17 - What operators should consider when choosing a PMS47:55 - How AI and natural language search may change the booking experienceFor operators evaluating their technology, this episode offers a practical look at why the systems behind the business matter just as much as the guest-facing experience. Connect with Ed & Barefoot:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-ulmer-150596/ Website: https://www.barefoot.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mybarefoot ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners: Manage your vacation rental business with more control and confidence using Barefoot.

Emilio Alonso, Head of Channel at Esker, analiza los desafíos de la IA Agéntica y los desafíos de la inteligencia artificial para la empresa española. “Nuestra misión principal es ayudar a las organizaciones a automatizar sus procesos de back office”, afirma el invitado. También destaca que “llevan más de 30 años en España”. ¿Qué significa la inteligencia artificial agéntica? ¿Qué diferencias existen entre una automatización tradicional y un modelo impulsado por IA agéntica? “Hasta ahora la automatización funcionaba basándose en reglas de negocio, la inteligencia estaba dentro de los programas”, nos explica el entrevistado. Además, destaca que “la IA Agéntica se basa en patrones entrenados y tiene la capacidad de hacer cosas por sí misma”. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre la IA agéntica con la automatización tradicional? ¿Cómo cambia el trabajo en ambos? “La automatización tradicional se basaba en unos programas informáticos que tenían su propia lógica”, nos explica el Head of Channel Iberia. En comparación con las otras, la agéntica tiene ahora la capacidad de “interpretar los datos y el entrenamiento en función de los datos que ha recibido y de los que tiene en su disposición”. Para él, esto significa que “se pasa de las reglas a los patrones”. Con todo esto, nos señala que “la inteligencia artificial puede cubrir procesos completos, no solamente tareas individuales”. ¿Puede la IA agéntica manejar procesos de manera automática? Emilio Alonso nos explica que “sí pero siempre con supervisión de un humano y siempre siguiendo reglas marcadas por la propia organización”. También destaca que “la inteligencia artificial agéntica es la IA en acción, puede ejecutar tareas de manera autónoma, basándose en su entrenamiento y en las reglas de negocio marcadas por su organización”. ¿Cómo funciona su toma de decisiones? El experto señala que “va a mejorar su toma de decisiones y va a conseguir una cosa fundamental: las personas pueden dedicarse a tareas de valor añadido mucho mayor”.

Season 7, Episode 6: How did a former real estate analyst turn the pain of building pitch decks into one of CRE's fastest-growing AI companies? Today, we sit down with Sammy Greenwall, co-founder and CEO of Henry AI, to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming commercial real estate workflows. Sammy shares his journey from college basketball to helping scale Lev into a $100M venture-backed company before leaving to build Henry AI. The conversation covers the inefficiencies of traditional brokerage workflows, why Henry focuses on delivering outcomes instead of software, and how AI is automating offering memorandums, BOVs, and other time-intensive tasks. Sammy also explains why local brokerage data may be more valuable than national databases, how "humans in the loop" remain critical to adoption, and where he sees the future of AI in commercial real estate.

Host: Lalo Solorzano, Andy Shiles Guest(s): Ashley Arnold Published: June 4, 2026 Length: Approximately 33 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Trade compliance has changed dramatically, and this episode digs into why importers, exporters, executives, and compliance professionals can no longer treat it as a back-office task. Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome Ashley Arnold, licensed customs broker, CCS, and founder of JEM Consulting, for a timely conversation on the evolving role of trade professionals in today's regulatory environment. Ashley explains how trade compliance now touches sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, purchasing, customer service, and executive strategy. With shifting tariffs, increased Customs scrutiny, ACE reporting, USMCA claims, duty mitigation opportunities, automation, and documentation challenges all demanding attention, the old “we've always done it this way” mindset is no longer enough. The discussion highlights why companies need stronger internal collaboration, better systems, proactive monitoring, and more visibility into what Customs sees in real time. For executives, this episode is a reminder that compliance teams need resources, support, and a seat at the table. For trade professionals, it is a call to stay informed, ask questions, build relationships across departments, and keep pushing for smarter processes. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on the expanding role of trade compliance professionals and why companies must rethink how they support compliance, logistics, and supply chain teams. Ashley Arnold explains that compliance work is no longer limited to classification, entry review, or post-entry audits. Today's trade professionals are monitoring court cases, tariff updates, government notices, ACE reports, Customs requests, free trade agreement documentation, software workflows, and automation opportunities. The conversation also emphasizes that compliance must be involved earlier in the business process. Purchasing, sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, and leadership all need to work together to prevent problems before shipments are delayed, costs increase, or Customs issues arise. Key Takeaways • Trade compliance now belongs in strategic planning, not just operations. • Importers should have ACE access, run reports, and monitor Customs activity directly. • USMCA, duty drawback, exclusions, tariff engineering, and free trade agreement claims require strong documentation and audit readiness. • Automation and software can reduce manual work, but qualified trade professionals still need to review and validate decisions. • Compliance teams must build relationships with IT, accounting, sourcing, logistics, purchasing, and customer service. • Executives should ask whether their compliance teams have the tools, people, and cooperation they need. • The phrase “we've always done it this way” is a warning sign in today's trade environment.

Wer KI heute nur als Tool zur Effizienzsteigerung im Backoffice sieht, verpasst die Chance, die größte Baustelle der Branche zu lösen: die echte Verzahnung von digitalem Neukundengeschäft und stationärer Bestandsdurchdringung. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Nina Schmal (Vorständin für Kundenmanagement und neue Geschäftsmodelle) und André Nakonetzki (Bereichsleiter Kunde und Marke) von der Provinzial darüber, wie KI als Motor für hyperpersonalisierte Kundenbeziehungen und hybride Vertriebswege etabliert werden kann. Wir beleuchten, warum die Debatte um Produktivität zu kurz greift und wie sich das Kundenverhalten durch die neue Transparenz grundlegend verändert. 5 Highlights der Episode KI verschiebt die Grenzen von Komplexität: Nina betont, dass KI Prozesse radikal transparenter macht, was eine Branche, die lange von Intransparenz gelebt hat, vor völlig neue Herausforderungen und Chancen stellt. Der Wunsch nach menschlicher Interaktion bleibt: Trotz der hohen Akzeptanz von KI im Alltag erwarten laut Studien immer noch rund 86 % der Menschen eine menschliche Entscheidung im finalen Abschluss oder im Schadenfall. Hybride Kundenbeziehungen als Zukunft: Der persönliche Berater behält seine Daseinsberechtigung. KI übernimmt die transaktionalen und einfachen Serviceaufgaben (wie Adressänderungen), während der Mensch bei komplexen Themen und auf der Beziehungsebene punktet. Halluzinationsfreie Beratung durch Technologie: Durch den Einsatz von Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) arbeitet die Provinzial daran, KI-Systeme mit verlässlichen Tarif- und Vertragswerken zu füttern, um Kunden rund um die Uhr korrekte Auskünfte zu geben. Zusammenführung der Datenwelten: André erklärt, wie die Provinzial Bestandsdaten, Partnerakten und Verhaltensdaten auf einem zentralen Hub zusammenführt, um Vertriebspartnern hochqualifizierte, relevante Leads statt sturer Telefonlisten zu liefern.

Adam Spector, founder of Chore, four-time entrepreneur, and startup investor, joins Jerome Myers for a conversation about building in a world where the tools are moving faster than most people can process. From San Francisco's AI boom to the rising bar for young professionals, Adam shares why speed, focus, and delegation have become critical advantages for founders. He explains why entrepreneurs often become the “janitor” of their own companies, handling payroll, HR, finance, compliance, and other back-office work that pulls them away from the work only they can do. Jerome and Adam also explore AI's impact on jobs, education, startup investing, and founder behavior. Adam offers a clear challenge to business owners and ambitious professionals: stop waiting for permission, start building proof, and protect your most valuable resource: time. This episode is for founders, operators, investors, and professionals who want to understand what it takes to compete in the age of AI without losing sight of the life they are trying to build. In this episode: Why San Francisco remains the center of the AI boomHow AI is raising the bar for founders and job seekersWhy speed is now a strategic advantageWhat Adam looks for when investing in foundersWhy founders get trapped doing low-leverage workHow Chore helps entrepreneurs delegate back-office operationsWhy proof of work matters more than a polished resumeThe real cost of spending your time on the wrong thingsWhy the gatekeepers are gone Guest: Adam SpectorAdam Spector is a four-time founder, startup investor, and founder of Chore. Based in San Francisco, Adam has invested in roughly 200 startups and helps entrepreneurs protect their time by delegating the back-office work that slows them down.

This week on the GovNavigators Show, Adam and Robert sit down with Daniel Gaush, Acting Director of the International Cooperative Administrative Support Services Service Center at the U.S. Department of State, for a fascinating look at one of the federal government's largest and least understood shared services operations.Daniel explains how the ICASS system coordinates administrative support for more than 300 federal entities across embassies and consulates worldwide, everything from HR and motor pools to security, facilities, and logistics. He shares stories from a 24-year career spanning Morocco, China, Afghanistan, and Washington, including negotiating trade agreements, touring a Chinese nuclear reactor, and managing support operations in wartime environments.The conversation explores the promise and pain points of shared services: balancing costs, managing interagency consensus, handling global crises, and adapting to major structural changes, such as the integration of USAID functions into the State Department. Daniel also reflects on the unique culture of the Foreign Service and offers advice for the next generation of Americans considering international public service careers.Show Notes:Final Report from The President's Council to Assess the FederalEmergency Management AgencyWhat's on the GovNavigators' Radar?May 13: House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Hearing: DoW Financial Management: Examining Progress and New Audit Approaches May 14: House Oversight & Government Reform Hearing: Reducing America's National Debt: Rooting Out Federal Waste, Fraud, and Overregulation May 14-15: ACT-IAC's Emerging Technology & Innovation Summit

Kennst Du das Gefühl, den ganzen Tag beschäftigt gewesen zu sein – und trotzdem kaum etwas wirklich Wichtiges geschafft zu haben? Viele Menschen arbeiten heute permanent im Reaktionsmodus: E-Mails, Nachrichten, To-dos und Termine bestimmen den Tag. Am Ende bleibt das Gefühl von Stress statt Zufriedenheit. Dabei braucht ein entspannter Arbeitstag nicht unbedingt mehr Disziplin oder noch mehr Tools. Oft sind es einfache Prinzipien und kleine Gewohnheiten, die einen großen Unterschied machen. In dieser Podcastfolge spreche ich über grundlegende Must-haves für einen Arbeitstag, der sich strukturierter, ruhiger und gleichzeitig produktiver anfühlt. Es geht darum, nicht härter zu arbeiten – sondern klüger. Du erfährst, wie kleine Pausen Deine Konzentration stärken können, warum ausreichendes Trinken wichtig für Deine Leistungsfähigkeit ist und wie Du Deinen persönlichen Arbeitsrhythmus besser nutzt. Außerdem geht es um klare Start- und Abschlussrituale für Deinen Arbeitstag sowie um ein Umfeld, das Dich unterstützt statt abzulenken. Am Ende geht es jedoch um mehr als nur Produktivität: Es geht darum, achtsam mit Deiner Energie umzugehen und Deinen Arbeitstag so zu gestalten, dass er zu Dir passt. In dieser Folge erfährst Du: - warum viele Arbeitstage sich stressig anfühlen, obwohl wir ständig beschäftigt sind - weshalb Mikropausen Deine Konzentration und Energie verbessern - wie wichtig ausreichendes Trinken für Fokus und Leistungsfähigkeit ist - warum Dein natürlicher Biorhythmus eine große Rolle für produktives Arbeiten spielt - wie klare Start- und Abschlussrituale Deinen Arbeitstag strukturieren - welchen Einfluss Dein Arbeitsumfeld auf Deine Konzentration hat - weshalb Bewusstsein wichtiger ist als ständige Selbstoptimierung Dein Impuls aus der Folge Probiere in den nächsten Tagen bewusst ein paar kleine Veränderungen aus: - Plane täglich mehrere kurze Pausen ein - Stelle Dir eine große Wasserflasche auf den Schreibtisch - Starte Deinen Arbeitstag mit einem klaren Ziel - Beende ihn bewusst – auch wenn noch Aufgaben offen sind Denn ein entspannter Arbeitstag entsteht nicht durch mehr Druck, sondern durch bewusst gestaltete Gewohnheiten. ---- Mein Name ist Sonia, ich bin Organisations-Profi und gelernte Industriekauffrau.

What if the real reason advisory firms struggle to scale… isn't growth? It's what happens after the client says yes. In this episode, Christopher Hensley sits down with Ryan George (CMO at Docupace) to talk about the unsung "back office heroes" who keep advisory firms running—and why burnout, invisible operations, and misunderstood AI adoption can quietly become your biggest growth bottleneck This isn't another "AI will write your blog posts" conversation. Ryan breaks down the difference between automation vs. intelligent automation, why financial services is an exception-laden business, and why the safest bet for the near future is still human-in-the-loop decisioning—especially when risk can scale instantly You'll also hear why Ryan believes "most-in-one beats all-in-one," how firms should think about AI note takers vs. workflow automation, and what "self-healing workflows" could look like as platforms learn from years of operational data One of the most memorable moments is Ryan's personal story about a doctor who pushed the computer away, made eye contact, and simply showed up as a human—a reminder that the advisor's real moat isn't tech. It's presence. If you're an RIA, broker-dealer leader, ops manager, or advisor trying to make sense of AI beyond the hype—this conversation will help you think clearer, deploy smarter, and protect what matters most: trust.

If you're feeling the weight of burnout as a founder or struggling to scale your operations, you must listen to this conversation with My Freight Staff's CEO, Edward Lockridge! Edward delves into the game-changing world of remote work and virtual assistants in the transportation industry,  the "brute force" required to build a book of business, the necessity of establishing bulletproof operational systems before hiring, and why outsourcing to global talent is a strategic move to prevent team exhaustion and maintain a 24/7 competitive edge. Whether you're a freight broker or a carrier, tune in to learn how high-level delegation allows you to stop playing defense and start focusing on what you do best: hunting for new customers and growing your logistics business!   Connect with Edward Website: https://myfreightstaff.ph/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myfreightstaff/?hl=en / https://www.instagram.com/edward_lockridge/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/myfreightstaff/ / https://www.linkedin.com/in/myfreightstaff/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myfreightstaffph  

HEADLINE: Starbucks Relocates Corporate Operations to TennesseeGUEST: Jeff Bliss Starbucks is moving a significant portion of its corporate headquarters and back-office operations from Seattle to Tennessee. This move is driven by concerns over high taxes, regulatory capture, and general disorder, including crime and homelessness. Jeff Bliss notes that this departure follows a trend of major brands like In-N-Out Burger and SpaceX leaving West Coast locations for states perceived as more business-friendly.

Now, AI is starting to shrink that office into a single server rack. I'm Etienne Noumen, and this is your AI Unraveled Reddit Pulse.A viral discussion is erupting in the r/ArtificialInteligence community centered on a sobering report from the New York Times. The reality is stark: AI is no longer 'promising' to automate white-collar work—it is actively doing it. For a country like India, which built its tech powerhouse status on BPO, customer service, and entry-level coding, this isn't just a market shift; it's being described as a 'historical critical transition.'The Reddit community is calling this a 'Tsunami' that is hitting everywhere at once. One of the top-rated comments points out the 'Demographic Disaster' potential: India has a massive, young population that relies on these 'ladder' jobs to enter the middle class. If the bottom rungs of that ladder—data entry, basic debugging, and Level 1 support—are replaced by agents like Claude or Perplexity, the entire economic engine of the subcontinent faces a stall.Other users are noting that the 'Cheap Labor' advantage has officially evaporated. When an AI agent costs pennies an hour and never sleeps, even the most efficient human workforce cannot compete on price. The race is now on: can India upskill 5 million tech workers before the 'Back Office' disappears entirely?This episode is made possible by our sponsors:

Este episodio cuenta con el apoyo de Softwariza3Softwariza3 acompaña a las empresas en su día a día, ayudándolas a simplificar la gestión, automatizar tareas y ahorrar tiempo, con soluciones digitales siempre adaptadas a la normativa vigente.Implantación profesional, soporte experto y una forma honesta de hacer las cosas.Conoce más sobre Softwariza3: https://softwariza3.es/podcast-itnig/En esta tertulia nos sentamos con Eloy Montaña (CEO de Softwariza3 y Clavei) para hablar de cómo la regulación (Ley Antifraude / Verifactu) puede reventar, para bien o para mal, la operativa de miles de empresas: facturación “casi en tiempo real”, trazabilidad tipo “cadena” y el fin de los trucos de las facturas intermedias. También comentamos el coste oculto de los retrasos y cómo eso frena producto e innovación justo cuando el mercado va a mil. Luego entramos a lo que de verdad viene fuerte en 2026–2027: IA en asesorías y backoffice.Desde la idea de la “mega gestoría” (consolidación + procesos + IA) hasta por qué hay partes que van a caer antes que otras (y por qué nóminas en España es tan complejo). Y por el camino: cómo modernizas un ERP de décadas para llevarlo a cloud, y por qué el futuro de SaaS apunta más a cobrar por valor que por “asientos”.Cerramos con la parte incómoda: agentes que hacen cosas de verdad… y los riesgos reales. Hablamos de controles, seguridad, prompt injection y qué pasa cuando un agente “lee” internet y alguien intenta colarle instrucciones maliciosas (sí, incluyendo pagos). Y cómo la regulación europea puede ser a la vez freno y ventaja en esta carrera.

Frontends sind digital – doch im Backoffice herrscht oft noch manuelle Schwerstarbeit. Kevin Hackl spricht im Podcast mit Porters-Gründer Konstantin Kotulla über KI-native Prozessauslagerung im regulierten Banking.

The IRS is notifying back-office employees that they will temporarily cover frontline filing season work through this summer. Training for these detailed employees will begin nearly a month after the start of this year's tax filing season. The agency's taxpayer service division lost a significant number of employees last year. The IRS also fell short of its hiring goals this season. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman has more.

Today I'm joined by Jake Cronin, CEO of Siro. We break down the massive “dark matter” problem in dealership sales, why most of the sales process has been invisible until now, and how AI is finally capturing what actually happens in the showroom and F&I office.

The crew breaks down Superstate's massive $82M Series B for tokenization, the explosive rise of TradeXYZ's commodities trading hitting $1B+ volume, different tokenization models from "bootleg" to "back office," the ClawdBot AI phenomenon taking over coding, and how agent-based development is revolutionizing crypto software engineering. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Robert drops news about Superstate's massive $82 million Series B raise led by Bain Capital to bring Wall Street on-chain through tokenization. The crew dives deep into the explosive growth of Hip3 markets, particularly TradeXYZ's commodities trading that's hitting over $1 billion in daily volume as precious metals rip to all-time highs. They break down the different tokenization models emerging - from "bootleg" third-party approaches to "back office" settlement tools to issuer-led official tokenization. Then the conversation shifts to the ClawdBot phenomenon taking the internet by storm, exploring how AI agents are revolutionizing coding and what this means for the future of software engineering in crypto. From vibe coding to the complete transformation of how startups will be built, the hosts examine whether we're witnessing a fundamental shift in how technical work gets done. Show highlights

Banks have spent billions building digital customer experiences. But most are doing it on top of back-office infrastructure built for a different era. That gap has quietly become one of the biggest drags on growth, pricing power, and profitability in banking. Today's competitive edge isn't just about what customers see upfront. It's about how efficiently a bank operates, how smartly it prices on an individual basis, and how quickly it can turn data into action. That's why modernizing the back office has moved from an IT discussion to a strategic imperative. I'm joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Richard Ullenius and Brandon Sailors from CSG International to discuss what modernization truly means, how banks can progress without tearing everything down, and how smarter infrastructure is becoming the key to efficiency, engagement, pricing, and risk management. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by CSG CSG delivers banking and financial services solutions to help banks reimagine pricing, billing and customer engagement across retail, commercial and institutional banking. By unifying smart pricing, customer and transaction data and accurate, flexible billing, CSG enables banks to modernize complex, multi-product relationships without rip-and-replace. As a result, banks can reduce risk and complexity, protect margins and power trusted, real-time experiences that drive growth. https://www.csgi.com/industry/financial-services/

Recorded live at Trimble Insight 2025 in New Orleans, FreightWaves' Thomas Wasson sits down with Jonah McIntire, Chief Platform Officer at Trimble Transportation, for a wide-ranging and refreshingly candid conversation about AI, software, and the future of logistics work. Jonah breaks down how Trimble operates at the “plumbing layer” of the supply chain, why tools like PC*MILER are still the industry's ground truth, and why many past tech hype cycles—blockchain, visibility, buzzword AI—missed the mark. He doesn't shy away from the hard truth: AI will eliminate back-office jobs, even as it radically increases productivity and reshapes how logistics companies scale. The conversation dives deep into AI-written code, self-connecting systems, rewriting legacy software in days instead of months, and why Trimble is betting on AI colleagues—not just AI features. From creative destruction to AI agents interviewing for dispatcher roles, this episode offers a rare, inside look at how one of the largest supply-chain software companies is rebuilding for the next decade. ⁠Follow the Loaded and Rolling Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Amazon streicht tausende Stellen und auch andere Tech-Riesen wie Meta bauen ab. In Deutschland sieht es nicht besser aus: Bosch kündigt 15.000 Stellenstreichungen an, Lufthansa weitere 4.000. Die Frage ist: Welche Jobs werden in so einem Umfeld eigentlich noch gebraucht – und welche sind besonders gefährdet? „Es gab ein starkes Over-Hiring. Kurz nach der Corona-Pandemie und auch währenddessen schon. Dort versucht man jetzt, dass Personal wieder abzubauen. Davon sind gerade die Industrie und die Tech-Industrie betroffen. Die Unternehmen haben auch das Problem, neue Mitarbeiter einzustellen, z.B. bei der KI. Das ist toxisch für den Arbeitsmarkt. Es wird immer bei Verwaltung und Back Office zuerst gekürzt. Man digitalisiert einfach mal das HR-System weg. HR ist auch ein schrumpfender Bereich. Auch die Daseinberechtigung von Mitarbeitern im mittleren Managment wird stark hinterfragt. Und auch IT-ler und Programmierer sind betroffen. Wir werden keine ganz große Entlassungswelle sehen, aber...", sagt der BWL-Influencer und Mitgründer von pumpkincareers David Döbele.

Building a "Back Office in a Box" for Small Firm ArchitectsIn this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage welcomes Evin Wick, a former tax lawyer who transitioned into the world of fintech entrepreneurship. Evin shares the story behind his company, S Works, an AI-powered back office solution designed to support small businesses and solo professionals. He reflects on his journey through tax law and product leadership in fintech, and how those experiences shaped his vision for simplifying bookkeeping, payroll, and tax compliance.The conversation dives into the unique challenges faced by architects and other small business owners who often struggle with financial organization and entity setup. Evin explains how technology, and specifically AI, can transform tedious tasks into streamlined, automated processes that free up valuable time. By automating 96% of transaction classifications while keeping human experts just a click away, S Works balances efficiency with personalized service.

The future of banking isn't coming – it's already here. And yet, a staggering 46% of retail financial institutions admit they're either early in their digital transformation journey or still in planning stages. At the heart of this inertia lies a familiar bottleneck: legacy core systems. While over 90% of banks surveyed this year say digital transformation is either a “critical” or “high” priority, less than 10% believe their current core can fully support their goals. In this episode of Banking Transformed, I'm joined by Sandeep Lalwani, Head of UST FinX, and Barry O'Connell, Managing Director, Americas for Thought Machine. Together, we examine the real-world consequences of delayed modernization – from constrained innovation to a stunted customer experience – and explore how a modular, coexistence-based core transformation can flip the script. This is the first episode in a new series, "Building the Future-Ready Bank", sponsored by UST FinX.
