Zanders recognizes the need to keep up with emerging technologies and provide innovative solutions as well as consulting to our clients.
We’re excited to announce that Zanders, the leading consulting firm specializing in treasury, risk and finance, is expanding its services to include Blockchain consulting. As the world of finance rapidly evolves, we recognize the need to keep pace with emerging technologies. This prompts us to offer innovative blockchain technology consulting and solutions to Corporates and Financial Institutions to help them stay competitive in their market.
Blockchain technology has been disrupting the financial sector and beyond, and we believe that it has the potential to transform the way businesses operate. It has the potential to revolutionize financial markets through changes in the product offering, as well as the market infrastructure. With our new Blockchain consulting services, we aim to guide our clients through the complexities of this technology and help them leverage it regardless, whether you wish to issue a digital asset, assess the impacts of the BCBS (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision) Crypto Standard on your capital requirements or understand how crypto assets impact your existing treasury and risk management and governance processes.
Our Blockchain consulting services will cover a range of topics, including education, proof of concepts, strategy consulting, governance, treasury, risk assessment and ESG. We understand that every client has unique needs, and we will work closely with them to tailor our services to their specific requirements. Possible topics of interest for your organisation may include:
We help clients develop proof of concepts to test the feasibility of Blockchain solutions. Our team of experts will work with clients to design and build prototypes that can be tested in real-world scenarios. We support from the idea to the implementation.
Our strategic Blockchain advise provides valuable guidance to clients. We jointly work with our clients to develop Blockchain strategies that align with their overall business goals and help them prioritize their Blockchain initiatives as part of our Blockchain Strategy Explorer. The Blockchain Strategy Explorer is a guided, in-person 1-day workshop free of charge, to improve your Blockchain knowledge and define your Blockchain strategy.
Blockchain and the exposure to crypto assets impact not only the front office but also treasurers. Zanders provides the advice as well as the tools to thoroughly integrate crypto assets into your daily operations. Furthermore, we jointly develop strategies that make best use of this new asset class.
With the onset of the BCBS Crypto Standard on 1st January 2025, the capital requirements for holding digital as well as crypto assets is more clearly defined. We support financial institutions in assessing the impact of this regulatory change on capital and developing a suitable strategy.
Governance is a critical component of any Blockchain implementation. We help clients establish governance frameworks that ensure that their Blockchain strategies are secure, compliant, and aligned with best-market practices.
The importance of ESG considerations is growing in the business world. We help clients evaluate the environmental and social impact of their Blockchain solutions and ensure that they are in line with their ESG objectives. Among other things, we play a key role in increasing the transparency of carbon markets by providing advice on the tokenization of carbon credits.
Our education services help clients gain a deeper understanding of Blockchain technology, its potential applications, and its limitations. We provide training sessions and workshops that will enable clients to make informed decisions about whether to implement Blockchain solutions.
Zanders already has a well-positioned, diversified blockchain team in place, consisting of blockchain developers, blockchain experts and business experts in their respective fields. In the following you will find a brief introduction of four of our lead Blockchain consultants.
We are thrilled to offer Blockchain consulting services and look forward to working with our clients to help them leverage this technology to transform their businesses. If you are interested in learning more about our services, please contact us directly.
