Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, , language: English, abstract: The information age is increasingly replacing the industrial age - this has greatly increased the importance of information for a successful and sustainable competitive advantage. This brings with it very far-reaching and complex challenges for companies. On the one hand, very large amounts of data will have to be processed and, on the other hand, the question arises as to how these data are to be processed - the focus here is on the issue of digitising work processes in operational banking business (corporate and retail banking) and their effects on the real banking workplace. International information - also known as global information channels - is causing the economic significance of material value creation to decline - the immaterial significance of value creation is thus steadily increasing. For only the right information, which must be made available at all times and geared to the company/bank, will pose a challenge that can result in the creation of value in the work process in the respective areas of the bank. This means that the intangible value added is transferred in the form of a transfer of data into so-called business information, thus leading to additional earnings. This business information must be exploited in and from electronic media in such a way that customer contacts can arise from it, information about it can be created and, for example, added value can be created for the bank customer as a service or for sale. The Internet and digitalisation are unconditional electronic supports that are revolutionising the banking sector. So-called FinTechs, companies which, with technical innovations in the financial services sector, will fundamentally change banking transactions with customers - this is also happening with the demands on the workplaces of bank employees. The FinTech sector (Financial Technology) is extremely innovative and has accordingly built up a dynamic and fast-moving environment. Digitalisation and the Internet with its social and business media have a significant role to play in the working environment of banks.
