Technology Assessments
Know what your systems can support before you spend.
Legacy systems, data silos and security rules can stop AI, and they often surface only after money is spent. We audit your estate and recommend whether to build, buy or own each AI capability.

Four places AI projects get stuck.
Infrastructure
Compute, hosting and capacity for AI workloads, on-premise or in the cloud.
Data
Where your data lives, how good it is, and whether AI can reach it.
Integration
How core banking and other systems connect, through APIs and middleware.
Security & compliance
Data residency, access control and what your regulator expects.
One recommendation per capability.
There is rarely one answer for everything. For each AI capability we recommend the path that fits your data, risk and budget.
Build
The capability sets you apart, and you have or can hire the team to maintain it.
Time to deliver, and the cost of keeping the skills in-house.
Buy
The need is common and a proven product already does it well.
Where your data goes, lock-in, and third-party risk.
Own
Sensitive data must stay in-country and you want control of the model.
Upfront investment in hosting and the skills to run it.
For banks in Kenya, CBK's draft rules would require its approval for critical technology providers, so buying is a regulatory decision too.
A clear technical path, with no surprises later.

Questions leaders ask us.
What do you need from our side?
Architecture documents, time with your technology, data and security owners, and access where it helps. We agree the scope with you before we start.
Will you push your own products?
We recommend what fits each capability. Where FinSense has a relevant solution we say so openly, alongside the alternatives.
Does this cover enterprise architecture?
Yes. It covers your current and target architecture, using standard frameworks such as TOGAF.
