As you are aware, the issues on the top of minds of senior management in banks are all focused on how to integrate and standardize business processes to improve efficiency and productivity. Hence, the ability to share business critical information across different business units is vital in order to expedite making accurate business decisions and ensuring compliance.

The Asian Banker Research has been doing some preliminary work in this area and we would like to share some of our findings as well as obtain your valuable input based on your banking and operational experience. The meeting held over lunch will involve the following agenda:

Sharing of preliminary findings
Mr John Dahlberg, Managing Partner, Cyberella Ventures
The banking industry relies heavily on information. The banks in Asia are constantly trying to streamline core processes so as to attract, retain and grow customer relationships, alongside compliance mandates. In pursuit of revenue growth and at the same time to protect data and ensuring information privacy, this research follows these key findings:

  • Common issues relating to data access, document handling and exception tracking via disparate systems
  • Concerns caused by lack of data sharing and communication between the front and back office.
  • The common problems faced when undertaking accurate indexing and efficient process flow.
  • Workflow based routing and adopting a shared services approach.
  • Steps for determining the best process for your environment.


The Dialogue will be moderated by Mr John Dahlberg

How banks can leverage information streamlining in today’s fast paced competitive landscape to satisfy customer demands

    • Inefficiencies in data linkages for householding
    • Inconsistencies in customer service across channels
    • Inability to differentiate offerings and customer services

The Dialogue will be moderated by Mr John Dahlberg
