How we work with you 1 2 The strength of our ASEAN and Asia-Pacific network was critical to our work with a major global bank that divested its non-core assets and liabilities across the region. We managed the project from planning to execution including in-country project management, test planning, dress rehearsal and business migration planning across Indonesia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. We worked with regional project managers from finance, operations and technology and liaised between the buyer and seller to address regional risks and issues. We made sure all regulatory requirements were met. Using detailed rehearsals, migration was achieved without incident and six businesses were sold and transferred within six months. We worked with a regional bank to implement a single core banking platform, rationalizing its systems across four countries in ASEAN. Our role included undertaking an analysis of existing systems and developing a cost analysis of alternative solutions. We then assisted to design the target operating model, business case and implementation plan. Our involvement included implementing and testing the new system including project management oversight. The implementation of a new core banking platform has enabled our client to realize significant cost savings and efficiencies. Furthermore, implementation was achieved with minimal business disruption. Furthermore, implementation was achieved with minimal business disruption. 6
Whether you are undertaking a major business transformation, implementing a new IT system or undertaking an IFRS conversion, we draw on our breadth and depth of experience to help you achieve your goals. 3 4 We were asked by a significant general insurer in Malaysia to work with it to review its core insurance, point of sale and workflow systems to improve operational efficiency, meet growing transaction volumes and address a number of challenges around its products and distribution channels. We undertook a thorough review and validation process which looked across existing systems and considered both revenue and cost drivers across three work streams. As a result of this project the organization now understands how to align its technology architecture to its business objectives. A business case and roadmap have been developed which will guide the following phases of system implementation. When a leading private bank in ASEAN wanted to enhance its credit risk management procedures and automate its existing processes for managing clients credit collateral, margin requirements and exposure, we were asked to assist. Leveraging our credit management methodology and private banking expertise we worked together to customize a comprehensive credit monitoring framework to manage credit lines, collaterals, exposure, credit surplus and shortfall, trading limit and margin ratio. We subsequently program managed the implementation of this framework into the bank s private banking system. The bank now has a comprehensive credit monitoring framework, clearly defined policies and procedures, as well as a robust technology platform to help effectively monitor its credit, collaterals and perform portfolio lending. 7
