Core Banking Transformation Transforming back office legacy systems As banks seek to grow revenue and improve operational efficiency through product innovation, globalization, and M&A activities, legacy back office systems often become inhibitors Mismatch between the horizontal business processes and the vertical application silos leads to ever-increasing IT integration complexity Heavily customized and inflexible legacy systems make it hard and expensive to support regulatory changes
Core Banking Transformation Project Example Example Build new business service components & integrate with legacy, leveraging IBM Component Business modeling approach Core Banking Process Agility – Bundled Offerings Project  Needs to sell customized product and service bundles and manage the end-to-end lifecycle of the resulting contracts while maintaining legacy systems as-is. 9 to 18 month project Deliver revenue growth through SOA while leveraging legacy Client issue Benefits Solution Framework project partners Core banking workbench for model and business-driven development Information FrameWork (IFW) data models Business rules management Process choreography Enterprise service bus Master data management Framework technology capabilities
Payments and Securities Banks need flexible and efficient operations Commoditization of payments services resulting in shrinking returns Need to specialize and innovate to drive revenue growth Market harmonization across the global payments infrastructure drives need for integration with third parties Increased merger, acquisition and disposal activity has resulted in redundant operations Sophisticated fraud and anti-money laundering activity drives need for transparency and security
Payments and Securities Project Example Financial institutions are required to comply with Single Euro Payments Area mandates 2 to 9 month projects Standardization of processes, process efficiency, reduced cost and risk 3 Deploy an ISV-provided payments application 1 Build compliance into existing payments applications 2 Renovate existing payments applications Client issue Benefits Solution options Framework project partners Banking process and data models Process choreography Application connectivity Message transformation to SEPA standards XML message management to SEPA standards Accelerators for building a custom enterprise payments hub Framework technology capabilities MMM EuroDebit MTS Global Payplus Open Payments Framework SEPA Compliance
Integrated Risk Management Holistically manage risk across the enterprise Banks need to: Understand market and credit risk exposure across multiple silos  Secure all transactions and forms of interaction Proactively prevent increasingly sophisticated internal and external prohibited activities  Effectively manage detected events Proactively manage internal and external potential risks Understand and manage increasingly complex compliance requirements at optimal cost
Integrated Risk Management Project Example Lack of trusted and integrated risk information makes it difficult to understand actual risk exposures facing the bank and also results in inaccurate reporting of exposures to regulatory bodies and executive management More timely and better decision-making Improved accessibility to risk information across the enterprise Reduced costs Consolidate data to create a trusted and accessible source of information Apply analytics and business intelligence to generate enterprise risk reporting Apply portal and collaboration technologies to give end users easy access to information Client issue Benefits Solution Framework project partners Data warehousing and master data management Common banking data models  Enterprise dashboards, scorecards, and reporting templates Alerts based on business events Access via web, email, mobile Enhanced visualization capabilities from IBM Research Framework technology capabilities Financial Risk – Risk Insight and Control Project
Customer Care and Insight  Optimizing the customer experience Consumers… Demand innovative and more customized products and services Want a consistently high quality customer experience across all touch points Banks… Must be able to identify their most profitable customer relationships Need an enterprise view of customer relationships to optimize the customer experience Need to balance managing cost, risk, security and compliance with meeting customer needs
Customer Care and Insight Project Example Customer Information Optimization – Customer Data Integration Project Customer data is duplicated and spread across multiple silo’d databases, leading to an inconsistent experience for customers dealing with the bank Projects can be implemented in as little as 6 months Improved customer satisfaction and retention, reduced maintenance costs Client issue Benefits Banking data warehouse models Data warehousing Master data management tools Reporting tools Process choreography Implementation expertise Framework capabilities Build an integrated data warehouse to create a consolidated customer profile and enable customer-centric processing Solution

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Less than a zero sum game – the new normal. We are realistic about where we are and the work ahead. But there are clear signs that it’s time to be optimistic about the future. When we look towards the future there are some very strong trends that will prevail – and the numbers are large. Growth will return and when it does we’re looking at a very large opportunity. This will challenge all of us to look at global finance and the financial supply chain in a very different way. The time to consider these changes is now. Projected growth of 5.8% CAGR over next 15 years will put the crisis in context. Half the world, or 2.5 billion people are unbanked – and this opportunity is already being aggressively pursued by using the growth in mobile devices as a platform for banking - for example in India there were 506 million mobile subscribers in November 2009, compared to approximately 124 million debit and credit cards (New York Times-May 2009) and Africa is seeing exponential growth in the same manner. Combine all this with global assets that will quadruple in the same time frame 2025 !!! There are a lot of assets to intermediate, manage, move and grow. The magnitude clearly calls on a vibrant global financial system to intermediate and manage the world’s capital and wealth.
  • #4: 1 – Rethinking the Financial Network, Andrew Haldane, Executive Director, Financial Stability, Bank of England 2 – OPRA and IBM analysis 3 – WWIC2008: From Autonomous to Cooperative, IBM Research While we have always understood the Financial system to be global, interconnected and complex the problems of the last 2 years have shone a light on exactly how little insight we had given the amount of information we had at our fingertips. This complex adaptive system can never be 'predicted', however a much better job can be made of analysing and understanding the interconnectedness, technology will be the driver of this capability, data and information will be the fuel. The recent melt-down proved that soundness and stability now needs to be a cross boarder priority in order to reflect the increasingly interconnected and complex financial ecosystem. in addition the market continues to evolve, some of those forces are - A new age of institutions based on new business models that maximize specialized market opportunities Client expectations are evolving and require new levels of service excellence unbiased advice and convenience to address them Transparency requirements characterized by radically increased oversight developed to restore stability and confidence Renewed focus on the efficiency of the financial information supply chain forcing the 'fit for purpose‘ information management agenda Factoids From 1985 to 2005 nodes in the financial systems network of the top 18 countries have ballooned, increasing roughly 14-fold. Financial data traffic volumes continue to climb, today there are roughly 25 billion market data messages passing through global trading systems each day. By 2011, the world will be 10 times more instrumented then it was in 2006. Internet connected devices will leap from 500M to 1 Trillion. On page points: The system moves more than $74T of money each day It is massively interconnected and interdependent The complex relationships between countries Redundant systems that require 24/7 and a continuous flow of information Rapid increases in types of data entering financial system from “real economy” digitization The constant menace of very sophisticated criminals The vastness of the work performed by the system intermediates the needs of billions of people in 190 countries in thousands of languages.
  • #5: Banking operations today are highly complex and inflexible. All systems and applications are interlinked to produce an enterprise process. To connect these, most times, one-off direct connections between functions are made among back-end data and business processes. This lacks and enterprise-level approach. The result: A change to one system or process creates the need to change the whole business process. And test each system that touches the one changed. Adding complexity are the number of interfaces that banking systems must accommodate – from customers and business partners to regulators and third party service providers. Additionally there has been an explosion of data in banking systems in recent years. Customer information is spread throughout the organization and can reside in many different systems. Because of this, the different lines of business within a bank may serve the same customer, but may not be sharing data. As a result, the customer may experience different levels of service and may have to provide the same information to multiple organizations. The inability to use information effectively across the enterprise can keep banks from providing the right kind of experience for their customers.
  • #6: IBM’s overall solution strategy links business and IT objectives to give you the capabilities you need to be successful. IBM and business partners provide industry solutions to help meet specific strategic objectives. To support these solutions, IBM provides the IBM Banking Industry Frameworks as a middleware platform to support banking solution deployment and integration. The framework gives you flexibility to deploy multiple solutions at the pace the makes sense for your business and allows you to reuse what you already have in your IT portfolio. This makes implementation faster and lower risk than alternative approaches. The IBM Banking Industry Framework delivers IBM market-leading software, along with banking-specific software extensions, pre-built solution accelerators, and best practice software usage patterns to speed deployment of solutions. Examples of extensions and accelerators include: Common banking process and data models – Information FrameWork and Banking Data Warehouse models IBM products specifically developed to meet an industry need, such as the WebSphere Multi-Channel Bank Transformation Toolkit, a product that accelerates the development of integrated retail banking channel delivery applications The banking framework supports solutions across the enterprise – and framework offerings are organized into four domains – Core Banking Transformation, Customer Care & Insight, Integrated Risk Management, and Payments & Securities. Many leading financial institutions are approaching transformation progressively, implementing solutions one project at a time that stand on their own – yet can leverage the value created in the one previously completed. But how do you do this and ensure that your solutions “fit” together? The IBM answer is an industry-oriented framework.
  • #7: The framework delivers value to your business along six dimensions
  • #8: Framework projects are offered in four domains – each one helping you to address a set of common business issues your bank faces. Many framework projects have applicability across multiple domains – for example a project to centralize customer data can have big benefits for improved customer care and insight and also for integrated risk management.
  • #9: IBM business partners provide market-leading applications to support projects across the framework domains. Strategic partners have validated on our framework and/or have multiple customer proof points showing that they work with our framework. Many of these partners have proven they integrate with our middleware which makes it faster to deploy and easier to integrate their applications. It also lowers the related costs.
  • #10: You can get started with a framework project from one of 19 project areas across the four framework domains. Let’s take a closer look at the Integrated Risk Management offerings.
  • #11: Source : Gartner “Hype Cycle for Consulting and Systems Integration, 2007,” July 2007
  • #15: Banks need to: Understand market and credit risk exposure across multiple silos to make financial and risk decisions consistent with business objectives Secure all transactions and forms of interaction, proactively prevent increasingly sophisticated internal and external prohibited activities and effectively manage detected events Proactively manage potential risks, both internal and external, business and IT, resulting from events impacting operations, processes and applications Understand and manage compliance across a dynamic set of voluntary and mandatory requirements imposed by multiple regulatory bodies, across operating jurisdictions, at an optimal cost for value
