Banking is an IT driven business.
It is vital for us to keep abreast of advances in technology and to understand their impact on our business. New technologies for electronic and mobile commerce are very important to us as they radically change the way in which we interact with our customers and employees. To evaluate these new technologies, we decided to start two mobile internet projects with Microsoft Consulting Services, and Sema Group and WinLinX two solution providers working with Microsoft mobile technologies. The first project extends the current web-based contact information application for employees at Dresdner bank, Daily, to mobile devices using Pocket Internet Explorer. Many staff spend a significant amount of time out of the office on customer visits or travelling between branches.
