1. Background: Who We Are • We are a mainstream, full-service, retail bank, operating solely in the Republic of Ireland • We service the banking needs of Personal Retail and Small Business Customers, through a multi-channel and multi-product approach • We develop deeper banking relationships with our Customers, by understanding their needs and delivering what matters to them • When we do this, our Customers: • Stay with us for the long term • Choose us to serve more of their banking needs • Recommend us to family and friends
1. Background: Point of Departure • Our data was on disparate systems in isolation • Inadequate visibility into your company’s operations, finances, pipeline and sales • Access to data was manual and ad hoc with long lead times resulting in inconsistent and contradictory messages • Resulted in the business struggling to get an accurate view of performance and opportunities • Faced increased demands from business and finance users and regulators • Forecasting based upon excel spreadsheets • Effort and time spent on validating data integrity for every output • Resulting reports were STATIC – limited to specific periods, with no drill-down capability • Numerous siloed extracts of the ‘picture’ across teams
2. Solution and Implementation: Choosing the right Partner • Proven track record and partnerships with technology vendors • Industry experience and scars • Ability to deliver • Partner mentality • Creative problem solving skills • Flexibility • Future support capability
3. Point of Arrival: New System and Benefits • A “single source” IDL for maintaining integrity and consistency of data • Automated Data assembly and validation • Creation and maintenance of a historical view of data for the organisation • Drill down functionality to customer, account and transaction detail • Automated report production and new Dashboard reports • Support “self serve” online interactive reports (with drilldown) • Integrated actuals and forecast data cubes for budgeting and reporting • Integrated business rules for metrics and analysis • Flexibility of data integration and reuse • Introduce capability to achieve consistent reconciliation of data from Source System to Reporting System
3. Point of Arrival: Lessons Learnt and Tips • Have a plan scope, timeline and budget then double it! • Accept that you will run into issues (and then run into more issues). It’s an agile process ( encounter, investigate, resolve, amend and test). • Spend time ensuring understanding and alignment of the “vision” across key stakeholders (Business, Finance, Project and IT) • Balance short term tactical delivery against longer term strategic direction (re-assess periodically) • Know your data – be clear on what you are using; data dictionary, different data for different purposes • Different systems may require different approaches • Existing versus all data trade-off • Work on a phased basis and prove the concepts rather than a “big bang” approach • Reconcile the new system against the old – be ready for surprises! • Consider data history required and how to manage on an on-going basis
3. Point of Arrival: Future Developments Needs change, we must keep adapting to evolving business requirements…
