The changing face of information
systems architecture is enabling retail banks to make
significant performance improvements, react faster
to market demands and manage customer relationships
more effectively.
For example:
- In 1998 Société
Générale appointed SchlumbergerSema
as prime contractor, working in partnership with
Compaq, for a strategic project to design and install
a wide-area Intranet-based production infrastructure
involving 2,000 branches and 23,000 users across
France. The delivered solution has optimized the
sharing of information at every level of the organization
delivering benefits by reducing the cost of knowledge
management over a widely disseminated business.
- Banque Directe, France's leading
direct bank, turned to SchlumbergerSema to implement
its new IT architecture in very tight time scales,
and to restructure its call center.
- Delivery of a project to automate
the monitoring and control of the lending portfolio
at NatWest Bank
- Implementation of Caja Madrid's
new information system to support its insurance
business
- SchlumbergerSema delivered a
global upgrade on the information system supporting
two of Groupe Mederic's pension funds, creating
an open client-server system.
- GAN's health and general insurance
production systems were re-implemented by SchlumbergerSema
to enable the organization to update its range of
insurance products more rapidly, delivering tangible
business benefits in terms of cost saving, faster
time to market for new products and consistent communication
of product data to agencies.
