Problems Faced
There was a lack of centralized content management for sharing updated information with this material stored in divided information silos throughout the bank divisions. The management required readily available updated content for informed and timely decision making.
Implemented Solution
Considering the environment at NBO, KalSoft’s consultants proposed the implementation of Microsoft Office & SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007). With the deployment of a medium server farm, an Enterprise Portal has been developed for employee access and development of Departmental Portals. Data from applications developed in Lotus Notes have been migrated to MOSS 2007 applications. An environment has been established for handling the services and workflows related to requests of logging and tracking, HR services, complaints management and help desk calls.
Benefits Provided to NBO
- Timely decision making empowerment with availability of necessary updated reports and records.
- Increased productivity for employees across the organization with enablement of automated workflows for daily HR activities such as leave requests, loan requests, etc.
- Improved customer satisfaction with integration of Customer Complaints Management System and the portal.
