Inquire about the competition

The periodic reports of the La Bussola series have been designed to make it simple but also pleasant to learn about the competition. Each issue contains a trend and an infographic that highlights the most active banks and markets during the reporting period. Discovering the competitive landscape and better evaluating one's own offer compared to that of competitors are the two activities that the DBPB of OF makes extremely easy and immediate.

Analyzing more than 1000 products and services, promotions, campaigns and loyalty initiatives of our own and competitors is the daily work with continuous updates of the OF Team working on the DBPB. The reports extracted from the DBPB for their own internal analyzes and to improve the Marketing and Communication activities can be customized to meet every customer's need. Personalization can involve both content, with targeted editions, and the support on which the report is provided, print, web, word.

WE HAVE ORIGINAL METHODOLOGIES
The original methodology of OF is the native internet: since 2001 we compare the services and innovation of the home banking services to which were added also those of mobile banking and social networks. Banking and financial products have been added to these services and since 2016 also the financial statements. We are working on the DB of insurance products.

SHORT STORY

OF was born from the needs of people's knowledge. The requests in 2001 were these: is e-banking secure? Can you trust the bank on the web? The first model of analysis of OF's home banking services is still valid today. But we have gone a long way over the years.
All

2000. EDUCATIONAL AND COMMUNITY


APRIL 2000. The first of two volumes WWW.Address Book for Oscar Mondadori is published, 1 million copies sold at newsstands, conceived by Vito Di Dario and created together with its editorial staff and the Aiutoooo.com (helpooo.com) community founded a year before.


The audience wants to know the opportunities of the Internet and then insistently the new way to use the bank through the Web. The collaboration begins with a fixed column in the weekly Mondadori Panorama Web dedicated to home banking and innovation on the web.

Born Of Best Online Banking


APRIL 2001.In collaboration with La Sapienza University of Rome, OF launches a model for comparing home banking services is still valid today. Wins the first e-Family ranking of BNL. The news has a good recovery in the media. The first website is published and OF creates permanent focus groups that analyze, test and compare banking products and services.

2003. COMPARISON OF BANK PRODUCTS


Following the success of the home banking comparison model, OF's analysts develop models of analysis and comparison of retail banking products: mortgages, current accounts, deposits, loans and savings. The traditional method with excel sheets and documents is overcome thanks to the creation of a Microsoft SQL database: DBPB (Banking Products DataBase).


To make the data visible from the DBPB, we draw vertical portals with a suffix @confronto: mutuiaconfronto.com, conticorrentiaconfronto.com, contiaconfronto.com, bancheaconfronto.com, prestitiaconfronto.com etc.

Blog & Tv


The portals are flanked by forums, such as Virgolette, and by Blog as blog.mutuiaconfronto.com that gives notoriety to Francesca Tedeschi who signs it since 2003. Francesca is invited in various television programs, including RAI UnoMattina, to talk about mortgages.

2008. THE SITE OF NEWS, OFNEWS.IT


Personal media finance is still considered the news cinderella. To make a strong impact on the results of its analysis and in-depth analysis, OF invests in an online publishing project: "The News of OF, OFNews.it". And with a news aggregator, a daily press review that monitors over 100 Italian and foreign news portals sent by email, OFNews.tv.


OFE is launched, Osservatorio Finanza Etica, with a proprietary database that manages to create a lot of attention in the public.

Contribution to online security


OF collaborates with the Milan Public Prosecutor's office which is dealing with online security. The analyzes of OF are included in the volume "Phishing and theft of digital identity. IT inquiries and banking security "(Francesco CAJANI, Gerardo COSTABILE and Giuseppe MAZZARACO), Giuffrè, 2008, Italian only.

2010. DBPB AND LA BUSSOLA REPORTING


The B2B activity begins in 2010 with the annual subscription offer of the DBPB, the Banking Products Database, the spreadsheet platform joined in one easy to customize page and enriched by a proprietary search engine and a calendar of the promotion and events.


The result from the information point of view is optimal, but the customer asks for something easier and more portable. The model of report-magazine, also paper-based in color of the La Bussola series, was born.

OF B2B's success


The B2B cloud portal www.cloud.it is launched, where subscribers download the reports in different formats (PDF, Word and so on) with just a few clicks and access directly to the DBPB.

2014. NEW NEWS SITES OFTRAVEL.IT AND OFHOME.IT


OF is preparing for EXPO 2015 with a new news portal dedicated to Travel & Denari www.oftravel.it on a responsive platform that favors images, videos, interactive maps, Street View and so on. OFTravel.it will be one of the sites selected by Intesa Sanpaolo for the EXPO 2015 campaign. The news are flanked by prepaid and credit card rankings extracted from the DBPB.


HOME & MONEY


At the end of 2014, OF opens another news portal on the same lines as the previous one, Case & Denari www.ofhome.it dedicated to real estate, mortgages and home furnishing that supports the activity of content providers also towards third-party portals like that of UniCredit Subito Casa.
