Wholesale Branch of South Africa's Largest Bank Moves Successfully From Homegrown Appraisal System to Halogen 2007-12-01 Halogen Software

Standard Bank Group is a global bank with African roots. The Bank wanted the new solution to mirror the format of the old performance appraisal process, which included past objectives and its own set of competencies. Even though the system was new, the Bank wanted the form to look very similar to the one it had used the previous year in order to increase employee acceptance. To make implementation and future maintenance as simple as possible, the Bank chose to have Halogen host the solution, taking the administrative pressure off its internal IT department. Having Halogen host the solution assured the organization that updates would be made automatically and that its information would be secure.

Guangdong Development Bank Strengthens Financial Management 2007-09-05 Oracle

Guangdong Development Bank (GDB) was established in September 1998 with the approval of the State Council and The People's Bank of China. The bank wanted to establish a unified finance and accounting system to improve management and boost competitiveness and ensure the accuracy and currency of financial and accounting information, and enable data to be shared across the bank. The challenge was to review internal procedures to minimize risk, improve productivity, and reduce costs and undertake accounting reforms to meet global regulations. The bank implemented Oracle Financials, Oracle Assets, and Oracle Internet Expenses as the foundation of an integrated finance management platform. The bank expanded global business with support for multi-currency and multi-accounting principles, enabling GDB to work closely with foreign banks and other financial institutions.

Local Bank Improves Customer Service and Competitive Advantage With Upgrade 2007-09-05 Microsoft

American National Bank of Fremont has grown from U.S.$30 million in assets in 2000 to $150 million in 2007. To continue its growth, the bank chose to focus on personalized customer service to differentiate itself from the region's larger banks, many of which are becoming more impersonal as mergers consolidate the industry. That focus required a computer system that fulfilled two important functions. It had to be fast enough that employees could find information and answer questions quickly, and it had to be secure and reliable enough that the bank's one-man IT department could support it easily. To meet those goals, American National Bank decided to upgrade to the Windows Vista operating system.

Seamless Integration of HVB Romania and BCIT Achieved in Record Time 2007-06-20 Capgemini

In order to further expand in Romania, the former HVB Group - now part of UniCredit Group - acquired Banca Comerciala Ion Tiriac (BCIT) and subsequently merged it with its local subsidiary. HVB Group needed a competent integration partner to spearhead the complete legal, organizational and technical merger, which had to be accomplished within 10 months. Based on the positive experience in previous merger programs, Capgemini was again entrusted as integration partner. In an exciting collaboration between the two banks, the head office, the software provider WAVE Solutions, 3rd party providers and Capgemini, HVB Romania and BCIT have been seamlessly integrated into one legal entity with one IT system.
