$=== : The +eg!nn!ng

In March +666" the penetration and use of IT was not (ery high at #$B. #$B

was relying on manual processes to collect" store" and analy@e !usiness

data. Its retail !ranches were not connected and it was difficult for

management to understand !usiness dri(ers and impediments. This situation

made it difficult for #$B to pro(ide optimum customer ser(ice and resulted in

lost opportunities. Manual operations were also costly to support. The !ank

used se(en different software" which ran on 10 different fla(ors of J$IL" on

standalone #4s. The /66&odd !ranches were not networked and only 0/

percent of the !anks !usiness was computeri@ed. The o(erall expertise in IT

among users was low.

 The Central Vigilance Commission 44% issued a directi(e to the !ank to

computeri@e at least 56 percent of its !usiness !y Decem!er +666. Thisprompted the !ank to work out a strategy to tackle the daunting task in the

short period of time.

)t that time there were (arious factors which caused a !arrier in

implementing an Information System for centrali@ed !anking. These

weaknesses were&

• Different Jnix ,S used in different !ranches.

• Different standalone financial applications on #4s at different

!ranches.

• 7ack of interopera!ility due to disparity in systems.

7imited expertise on the software packages currently deployed.• Most !ranches did not ha(e a proper 7)$ in place.

#$B hired a consultant and de(ised a two&pronged plan of action. The plan

comprised

• ) short term goal & To meet the 44 deadline of 56 percent computeri@ation.

• ) long term goal & To create a dependa!le core !anking infrastructure and

!uild a nationwide network to connect different !ranches to the core

infrastructure.

#$B chose a product from a company called Nelito. It was a D,S&!ased" #artial

Branch )utomation application. Standalone (ersions were chosen since there

werent 7)$s in place" and deployment of 7)$s at !ranches would take so long that

the 44 deadline couldnt !e met. The interface was simple in design" and thus

easy for the !ank personnel to use.

 The !ank reuested 44 for an extension of the deadline and was grantedtime till March +661. By March +661" 56.26 percent of the !anks !usinesswas computeri@ed.

$==#:$==* : The )ong Term Strateg-

In the long&term" #$B wanted a technology that would consolidate all its!usiness resources and sustain the !anks future growth. It also wanted tocreate its own network" which would play a (ital role in its success. Threeconsultants were appointed to re(iew technology options for long&termadoption. The (erdict of the consultants was to deploy a centrali@ed core!anking architecture.

,n 30 March 2001" the !ank used the ser(ices of Infosys for the deploymentof 3inacle. ) core team was selected" which would !e the heart of theproject. Infosys trained +66&odd personnel from a core team o(er six months. The core team modified and customi@ed the package according to its specificneeds.

#$B purchased ser(ers" security infrastructure" and storage euipment anddecided to house it in its own central data center in $ew Delhi. ) lot ofinfrastructure from 4isco has !een used to !uild the data center.

In )pril +66+ the !ank rolled&out 3inacle in 5 !ranches as a pilot (enture. This was done !ecause the !ank had se(en different application packages"and it wanted to ensure smooth migration of the data into 3inacle. By midMay +66+" all data from other software was successfully migrated into

3inacle and !y end of year" the num!er of locations has increased to 1+. )sfar as the centrali@ed core !anking system is concerned" #$B has a datacentre at the corporate office and all these 1+ centers ha(e an extension tothat data.

#unja! $ational Bank took lead in !usiness excellence and commitment to

Due to the remoteness of rural !ranch locations" there were issues such asconnecti(ity of !ranches for operational ease" centrali@ation of data" and

enhancement of customer ser(ice as well as inno(ation in !anking products.

Moreo(er" all this is needed at a su!stantially lower cost for 99Bs as their

operations were relati(ely less complex. 3inacle from Infosys recogni@ed this

need of 99Bs and adapted its industry leading core !anking solution to suit

the reuirements of these institutions. #$B management selected this

platform to transform and standardi@e the operations of its 99Bs.

) majority of Indian !anks were already ahead in terms of adoption of new

sponsor !anks in not just priority sector lending !ut also present an

 The !ank also has a #epository setup  to store demateriali@ed sharecertificates% at its corporate office in $ew Delhi and another in Mum!ai.4ustomers owning shares and !onds can deposit them at these depositoriesafter which the hard copies are destroyed. The !ank" on the other hand"keeps a digital copy of all these documents. Thus" one does not ha(e to!other a!out the loss of paper" or a signature that does not match and so on.4ustomers can now instruct the !ank at any point of time to transfer thesesecurities.

)nother (ery interesting de(elopment with #$B is its contract ith In#ian

S-stems

Before deploying the core !anking architecture" #$B used ser(ers whichwere $T&!ased" from IBM" and from other (endors. The !ank conducted!enchmarking tests for 3inacle on (arious ser(er platforms. )nd it wassatisfied with the performance of Suns hardware on Solaris. Suns 3ireser(ers" Solaris ,S" and ,racles 9DBMS are now in use.

Network des!gn

4isco has tied up with #$B to e(ol(e the network design and implement a

nationwide network !ack!one to connect all its offices. 4isco will assist the!ank in understanding and implementing the (arious technologiesassociated with the project. The con(erged network infrastructure allowed#$B to standardi@e the applications and software needed to pro(ide the!anking ser(ices. The (arious !ranches are connected to the data centerusing new&world routing and switching technologies.

Storage s-stems

 The !ank has followed 9BIs storage reuirement guidelines. #ro(isions ha(e!een made to store transaction data for around 16 years. In some cases"data is stored permanently. )round 12 Sun enterprise class ser(ers areused in D)S architecture. The total capacity is of multiple TBs.
