Core Banking Systems: 30 Case Studies

Continuing the highly successful "Core Banking Systems: 30 Case Studies" series, Volume 3 takes 30 new core banking system implementations and evaluates the experiences of a diverse set of financial institutions across the globe, of various sizes and activity. It provides a valuable insight into the entire process of a core banking system implementation, from the first steps towards choosing a new solution to assessing the results of a completed project, and the further IT development plans of the institutions included. This new volume is a must-have resource for any financial institutions planning core system replacement as well as for organisations involved in or supplying products to the banking technology sector. Each case study reveals key intelligence, strategic data and real-life examples of what is happening in the market, levels of success, outcomes and advice. Each case study delves into such vital issues as: the reasons for change and project objectives; requirement definition processes including scope and complexity; technology and vendor shortlists; selection processes used and rationales for the final choice of vendor; step-by-step implementation process of the project, including: customisation/localisation issues, centralisation, branch roll-out, data cleansing and migration; interfacing; testing; user training phased; go-live vs. big bang; mistakes made and lessons learned; results and level of satisfaction; timescale and budget challenges; and, outcomes and advice based on practical experience. The publication also includes a detailed analysis across all the case studies, comparing the projects, assessing business drivers and drawing conclusions concerning best practice. It is unbiased and independent. Written entirely by IBS, each case study is based on interviews with the bank, as opposed to the vendor, removing any sales-pitches and getting straight the heart of the implementation. Whether you are engaging in a core system replacement, conducting market research or require first-class data to inform your business strategy, a copy of this latest volume will prove an essential investment.
