Banks - Why an ERP?

ERP is the only software framework which could provide:

• Flexibility and Centralization of Financial Management

• Management of Operational, Capital and Employee Expenses

• Budget preparation and monitoring

• Activity-based cost allocation

• Disaggregation of accounting practices from core banking systems

24

Banks - Why not a standard ERP?

• Complex procedures and workflows, with huge data volumes & increasing data collection rate . For example, EoD

o process ~ 6 million trans

o ~ 870.000 GL Accounts, more than 1.5 billion imported transactions per year

• Interfaces with many systems (Core Banking, Loans, Credit Cards, ATMs, Dealing Room, etc.)

• Special local regulations and global compliances requirements (GAAP, IFRS, Basel II).

• Extended multi-currency management (FX Position, FX Revaluation, FX Translation)

• Distinct Tax handling and reporting needs (new Tax Engine)

• Multi-Branch instead of Multi-Company
