News Facts

  • Oracle bagged two awards at the Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards 2011 held recently in Hong Kong.
  • Running into the fifth year and administered by The Asian Banker, the awards are the most prestigious of its kind and recognized by prominent global bankers, consultants and academics.
  • Over 50 financial institutions from 15 countries across the Asia Pacific, Gulf region and Central Asia were evaluated as part of the Technology Implementation Awards Programme 2011.
  • Oracle bagged the ‘Best Data and Analytics Project Award’ for the deployment of ‘Oracle Financial Services Asset Liability Management’ and ‘Oracle Hyperion Planning’ at IDBI Bank. This solution enabled IDBI Bank to measure and analyze interest and liquidity risks, integrate its performance framework, conduct faster and robust scenario analysis, and produce earnings reports at a faster time than before. Oracle Consulting played a crucial role in the entire implementation.
  • Oracle also won the ‘Best Corporate Payments Implementation Award’ using Oracle Financial Services’ straight-through-processing (STP) payments engine for HDFC Bank’s corporate transaction clients to facilitate seamless and instant processing of Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) payment instructions. This allowed HDFC Bank to automate processing transactions, giving the bank a competitive advantage with shorter turn-around time for processing and less dependency on off-line modes for payment status update and related customer query handling.
