To coincide with this years Open Standards Forum, following on from the Contactless Intelligence Conference in London (26-27th April), we at Krowne have put together another custom publication to ease attendees into the topics to be discussed at the OSF.

This issue covers the idea of ‘standards’ or ‘specifications’ that are so valuable for the technology industry (and finance, come to that) as they establish a common working platform for all to adhere to. However, our interview with Bristol-based Fintech company, Creditcall, pours cold water on that idea as the company argues that standards-driven markets are very difficult to disrupt and stifle innovation. Interesting take on the situation!

We are also covering the new T-Mobilitat CIPURSE Standard in Barcelona with Infineon, the contactless companion platform with Samsung and a quick look at mobile connect with the GSMA.

It’s another great example of using  content-driven marketing to supplement in-person messaging when engaging with customers and other players in the value chain. You can download a copy of the magazine here.
