Current Issue of Handbook: Document Management
(click here to know more)

What is a Handbook?
Banking is a world of increasing complexity. Complexity is arising out of the regulators, the competitive business environment, ongoing innovation and continuous technology flux. In this environment, bankers who are involved in decision-making and policy creation need a solid knowledge foundation and up-to-date information to ensure that they are taking the best possible decisions.

Recognizing the bankers’ need to make this quest for information and knowledge easier and less time consuming, Banking Frontiers is launching BankTech Manuscripts – a series of reports on key areas of concern. The content for these manuscripts will be based on inputs from expert bankers, analysts, relevant web sites as well as from the sponsors.

This handbook is typically a 40-page document on selected topic, which would be like a buyers guide or reference guide for the bankers. This would include direct responses from very senior bankers, Industry trends gathered from various bankers and Industry sources, white papers and research material from the sponsor, Case studies of your existing clients and some advertisements. This exercise takes a lead-time of minimum two months to be published.

ADVANTAGE
This handbook would be a ready reckoner for the bankers, which would ensure yearlong shelf life. It would ensure top of the mind brand recall, in regards to that particular technology.

CIRCULATION
This handbook is circulated to IT and functional heads at senior levels apart from CEOs and Director level audience. It can also be circulated in the international market like Middle East / South East Asian regions upon special request.

Possible topic Options


Handbooks on the topic:

  • Risk Management
  • Security Policy
  • Branch of the Future
  • Trade Finance
  • IT Optimization
  • Business Continuity
  • Biometrics


    * you could also suggest the topic of your interest

Why should I Participate?
With increasing competition among IT companies, it is becoming increasingly difficult for banks to differentiate one IT company from another. To overcome this problem, several vendors are choosing to become technology partners with their major customers. And to become a long-term partner, it is necessary for IT companies to educate and inform their customers about various issues, such as technology roadmap, technology maturity, emerging standards, best practices and, of course, aligning technology with business strategy. The best way to educate the customer is to provide information and knowledge through the medium of a trusted third party.
Banking Frontiers is a well known and trusted publisher in the field of banking technology. And hence the BankTech Manuscripts published by Banking Frontiers will be readily accepted by bankers all over India. By sponsoring these Manuscripts, IT companies can fulfill their objective of positioning themselves as long term technology partners with the banking community. Being selected as a partner is not an easy task. It is like marriage. One selects a life partner very very carefully. But once an IT company is positioned as a long-term partner in the mind of its customer, it automatically gets preferred in the RFP and vendor evaluation phases. The bottom line is that it gets a higher quality and quantity of business from its customers.

Document Management (Sponsor Kodak)

Even though we’ve been striving for the ‘paperless’ office for many years, it seems as if we are generating exponentially more paper on a daily basis. It also costs a significant amount of money to file and maintain all of this paper. To solve this anomaly, document imaging is widely emerging as the next best thing to solve this paper explosion. Simply put, the online storage, retrieval, and management of electronic images of documents is known as document imaging.
Virtual paper can flow electronically. You can also file documents online and search any document by name, date, or text string. Without the nuisance and wasted space of paper files, you can operate faster and at lower cost with greater security and improved service levels. The goal of converting paper documents to electronic form is to provide a seamless flow of critical information throughout the organization, reducing document handling costs, storage space requirements, and providing enhanced security of the documents.

Document conversion is the process of transforming electronic word processor or spreadsheet documents into a permanent raster image format for storage within a database. Rather than scanning paper documents, electronic documents are typically converted to a TIF or JPEG, which provides an archival quality text file that retains the visual formatting and layout of the original file. This text file can subsequently be used for full text indexing to allow retrieval at a later date.
Document imaging is a key initiative to several users whose objectives are to improve their bottom line while also creating better access to information, and increasing security of their data.

Historical Trend

Corporations, including those in the healthcare, financial, transportation and insurance industries, as well as government and regulatory agencies, rely on document scanners to convert paper documents into digital images that can be shared and stored electronically via information technology networks. But as business has changed, so have document scanners. Initially, the scanners developed and manufactured were high-volume models capable of scanning tens of thousands of pages a day in large, centralized operations. But as information technology has permeated the workplace, more and more companies are turning to distributed scanning environments, using desktop models to scan documents as they are created or received.

The Benefits of Going ‘Paperless’

If your employees spend most of the day filing or retrieving documents, or if you spend good money every month to warehouse old paper records, your buisness needs a document management system.
Document imaging revolutionizes information archiving by providing the ability to quickly find, retrieve, and share all documents in your organization. This can provide tremendous value to an organization by significantly reducing the costs of document filing, archiving and retrieval.
Imaging allows you to find documents immediately without leaving your desk. By devising an effective indexing scheme at the outset of the conversion project, document imaging offers the following benefits:

  • It allows for flexible indexing
  • Eliminates the problem of lost documents
  • Protects paper originals from excessive handling
  • Allows for file sharing among colleagues and clients via a network or CD/DVD
  • Improves security
  • Saves space
  • Provides an easy method of backing up docu-ments for disaster recovery
