  13. Technology Transformation strategy 2002-05 Simplify Platforms Improve Project Delivery Robust Operating Model Takeout Costs Leverage Group Assets Continued drive to simplify the platforms Capability upgrade of project process, business/ IT alignment Next level agility and adaptability, quick ability to up or downscale Next level tools and methods Leverage existing technology through re-use and componentisation Movement to open systems – Key Factors • Open systems environment (eg, Wintel) • Scale out model • Ongoing enhancement to security capabilities • High availability of skills • Good breadth of vendor support • High agility • Vast breadth of tools and technology • Standard commoditised technologies • Efficient development environment • Support re-use & components • High levels of integration - ‘plug and play’ • Customer access through Web enablement

  14. ANZ’s move to open systems To • Standards-based modular building blocks • Benefits: • Cost - efficiency & skills availability • Flexibility – speed, scalable, modern infrastructure • Connectedness – ‘plug & play’, ‘ease to innovate’ From • Traditional Core applications based on proprietary systems • Single vendor with limited scale to innovate • Proprietary systems have limited interoperability/ integration • Relatively expensive to run - often long lead times to upgrade system capacity

  15. ANZ’s progress in migrating to open systems - Case studies Implemented or underway: • Next generation switching project • ERP/Common standardised administration systems • Item processing • Payments clearing • Branch sales and service platform Next Phase: • Core Banking outside Australia • Telling

  16. Next generation switching project - Background • Replacement of existing ATM & EFTPOS Switching functionality • ANZ has approximately 1,500 ATMS and in excess of30,000 MultiPOS terminals • Current environment based on proprietary hardware/platform and software since the early 1980s • Integration with open computing platforms is difficult • Long lead time to upgrade capacity • Necessary support skills/knowledge getting more difficult to source

  17. Next generation switching project - Open Systems Challenges • Meet or exceed service levels of existing proprietary solution • No loss of committed data under any circumstances • 24x365 availability • Disaster Recovery • No loss of committed data, failover ~ 1 minute • Performance, throughput and linear scalability

  18. Comms Servers Comms Servers Comms Servers Comms Servers Comms Servers Comms Servers Next generation switching project - Solution • Migrate to Windows2000 & OpeN/2 (from S2) • Currently running in-house pilot for ATM’s • Soon to commence migration of customer ATM’s • POS to migrate mid 2003 • Dell 2-way Servers • Win2000 Server • OpeN2 • Dell 8-way servers • Win2000 Datacenter Server • SQL 2000 • EMC Resource PaK • EMC GeoSpan • EMC Connectrix ED-64M • Quantum ATL • EMC Symmetrix 8730 • EMC SRDF Tape Library Active Front-end Processor Comms Servers Auth Servers Database Servers Storage Area Network Comms Servers Comms Servers Comms Servers Storage Sub System Data Centre 1 Active DB Data Centre 2 Storage Sub System Front-end Processor Comms Servers Auth Servers Database Servers Storage Area Network Comms Servers Tape Library Fail-over Fail-over DB • 4 Node MS Cluster Win2000 Datacenter Server Environment

  19. Next generation switching project - Outcomes • After full implementation operating costs are estimated at 50% of previous environment • Trials have demonstrated that equivalent functionality can be developed in half the time • Lower annual development cost • Ability to quickly upscale capacity • OpeN2 (S2) allows ATMs and EFTPOS to be integrated with existing web channels and CRM • Eliminates the requirement for proprietary architectures and associated skills • Lowers the overall diversity of platforms, with longer term cost reductions • Reuse with telling platform Cost Flexible Connected

  20. ERP/Common administration system - Background • Our ERP systems were fragmented and outdated • General Ledger was no longer supported • Payroll system was old and inflexible • Very limited HR MIS

  21. ERP/Common administration system - Challenges • Need for a common, standardised administration system • PeopleSoft met all our mandatory selection criteria • HR functionality was tailored to Australian regulatory environment • General ledger structure is a good fit to our operations • Technology fits well with our architectural standards • ANZ’s PeopleSoft implementation is the largest on MS Windows 2000 and MS SQL 2000 in the world • Implementation approach critical to success, trade off between package customisation and our current processes

  22. ERP/Common administration system - Solution/Approach • We adopted a ‘vanilla’ implementation, thus our processes were changed to fit the software • Focused on people impact – change management & training • Staged approach to deploy major modules: - Procurement & Accounts Payable • Human Resources • Fixed Assets - Finance (General Ledger) • Payroll • Pushing the time / cost boundaries

  23. ERP/Common administration system - Solution/Approach

  24. ERP/Common administration system -Outcomes • Reduction in HR, finance administration and procurement expenditure and greater control of fixed assets • Faster, easier and more cost effective way of working • Straight-through automation • Easier capture and use of business information • Consistent business platform across ANZ • Delivery of web-based information anytime, anywhere, any place • Transformation of culture – delivery of web-based information anytime, anywhere, any place • Reduction in operational risk Cost Flexible Connected

  25. Item processing - Background • ANZ used the same equipment to process cheques for almost 18 years at five State-based Transaction Processing Centres • Large logistics exercise to achieve same-day value processing of all cheques/deposits across 900 Australian branches • This process had a number of disadvantages • Aged Proof of Deposit platform and 5 major voucher processing sites • Costly & inefficient physical storage, access & retrieval of cheques from paper archive warehouses for 7 years • Geographic dependency on paper • Day-2 functions (eg exceptions, returns) all required paper handling and records management actions

  26. Item processing - Challenge • To develop a best practice document processing environment to enable efficient and timely capture of customer and internal paper based financial transactions • The strategy comprised five parts: • Implement an Image POD System to further increase productivity and reduce the cost/item of processing • Utilize the more efficient and flexible Image POD System to integrate with the aging Retail Lock-box System • Create an Image Archive over 7 years to replace paper storage and provide rapid access across the enterprise • Image enable back office processes and centralize those functions which would result in major FTE savings • Interface into the bank’s Internet System to provide ‘self-service’ archive access to ANZ customers

  27.

  28. Item processing - Outcomes • Streamlined processes • Lowest unit costs from ‘one pass’ data and image capture • Efficient and timely capture of customer and internal paper based financial transactions • Improved customer service through faster retrieval or self service • A platform that can grow or contract with our imaging requirements • Increased scalability and ease of integration • In-sourcing opportunities - such as credit card services or white labelling • Sales potential to off-shore banks Cost Flexible Connected

  29. Manual Re-Keying Automated Interface International Payments Clearing - Background Inherent risks due to complex & disparate payment systems/processes • Batch operations moving to real time • High processing costs • Non-standard processes and product sets across the network • Fragmented systems and interfaces • Significant levels of operating risk • Difficulty in providing support and development High Complexity within a proprietary environment ANZ High Value Payment and Messaging Systems (as of July 1999) Telex ANZ NZ CorporateCustomers Branches Accounts AVP/SCP KITS Corporate Customers Branches Treasury Treasury ANZ India (CBS) Treasury Asian Branches (only) Accounts Trade NZD Accounts Telex Trade Operations Corporate Customers Vostro Limits Branches Telex ANZ London Office RTGS Telex Treasury Trade Treasury CorporateCustomers Fedwire AUD Accounts Correspondent Database Vostro/Nostro CHIPS Nostro Rec ANZ Aust ANZ NY Office

  30. International Payments Clearing - Challenge • Multiple delivery channels to customers • High visibility of system to customers/regulators • ANZ highest market share in Correspondent & Corporate/ Institutional Banking in Australia • ANZ ranked 50th bank in global SWIFT traffic volumes • Multiple functions - inward/outward payment processing, reconciliations clearing & settlement systems • High availability requirements especially for high value RTGS clearances and CLS requirements • Interlinking batch-processing legacy systems with real-time web-based customer systems

  31. International Payments Clearing - Solution • Single platform that processes international and domestic high-value electronic payments • Redundant hardware and software, with cross-site data replication (recovery within 30 minutes) • Farms of servers, load balanced across multiple sites • Hardened server and network environment with Intrusion monitoring • COM+ business logic tier • IBM MQ series used for integration to all external systems • Thin browser client or full function rich client

  32. International Payments Clearing - Outcomes • Reduced staff in operations area • Reduced technical staff in platform support and development • Reduced hardware maintenance/support costs • Increased STP rate for MT100/103/200 message types from 30% to 60+%. At same time business volumes have increased • High availability • Standardised platform in Aust/NZ • Increased revenue streams and enhanced product development • Improved operating risk management and better risk management tools • Real time counterparty risk management Cost Flexible Connected

  33. Next Project - Core Banking System outside Australia • Currently support seven off-shore sites in Pacific & Asia on core system. All support and services provided from Melbourne /India team • A further three countries will be added to the core platform, increasing scale and lowering unit costs across all countries. • Opportunities for improved cost effectiveness • Completed proof of concept to migrate banking platform to Intel/W2000 with SQL Server database Indicative Benefits • W2K platform more cost effective – lower annual maintenance costs – about 30% savings; 40% reduction in hardware costs • Faster processing – giving bigger support or online window • The W2000 / SQL server skills are easier to resource within ANZ

  34. Historically, financial institutions have built a myriad of fragmented proprietary point solutions that are difficult to integrate ANZ is focussed on moving to open systems to simplify its environment, enabling: componentisation and re-use of solutions lower costs improved cycle times and business functionality But, this is not easy - it requires clear vision, unrelenting drive and constant innovation Conclusion
