Solutions for banks

The banking industry is one of the most dynamic sectors in the Ukrainian economy. To keep up with the ever changing market requirements, banks need information systems capable of supporting the process of fast adaptation to changing external conditions.   Banks preparing for mergers and acquisitions need to minimize costs, increase transparency of business processes, and introduce modern business management solutions. De Novo specialists leverage a vast experience in the banking sector and provide a number of high-quality services meant to ensure transparency, manageability, and effectiveness of a banking operation. Services of De Novo experts bring the following advantages to banking institutions:
Reduction of operating costs through higher effectiveness of the IT infrastructure. This can be achieved by improving a bank’s information systems along two lines. The first is raising the productivity of bank employees with the help of corporate portals and tools for networking. The second is raising the quality of IT services provided within the organization. Along these lines, De Novo experts can improve the bank’s information systems by reducing the cost of operating data centers (creating so-called green data centers) and introducing best practices according to ITIL * (IT Infrastructure Library) and ITSM **(IT Service Management). Green data centers increase hardware utilization (make better use of computing and network resources) while reducing energy and infrastructure costs of a data center. With the introduction of ITIL *, ITSM best international practices, banks can manage the quality of IT services and ensure they meet corporate needs.

 

Preparing a bank for merger and acquisition processes. The first step in preparing a bank for sale is an audit of its information systems in order to determine their maturity. De Novo has the expertise to audit the IT infrastructure in keeping with international criteria—the level of IT infrastructure maturity, compliance with industry standards and requirements of market regulators.  Based on information gathered in the course of an IT infrastructure audit, De Novo experts can work out a development strategy for the bank's information system for the medium term in sync with the overall development strategy of the company's business. In addition, De Novo expertise allows estimating the cost of supporting existing IT solutions, optimizing infrastructure upgrade costs, and minimizing the need for hardware replacements. As the ITIL, ITSM ** best practices are introduced, the bank management will get an increasingly clearer picture on the status and monetary value of IT services provided within the company. This will significantly simplify the management of investments, estimation of the final cost of the bank’s core services, while enabling continued business growth and making it possible to manage information as one of the bank's business assets, taking into account changes in its value over its lifecycle.

 

Bringing the bank’s IT infrastructure into line with National Bank requirements and Ukrainian laws. A data center is one of the key IT infrastructure elements of any Ukrainian bank. De Novo experts have vast experience setting up data centers at major companies. Such expertise and proprietary methods of project risk and cost management allows creating solutions with the required level of security and fail safety that fully meet best international practices and requirements of market regulators.  The De Novo team includes talents with experience creating business continuity systems, data center infrastructure, server and network solutions.
