The document discusses the role of technology in banking. It outlines how technology has improved operational efficiency, customer service, and risk management in banks. It also notes that while technology initially provides a competitive advantage, that advantage fades over time as other banks adopt the same technologies. For long-term differentiation, banks need to focus on how technology is selected, implemented, and utilized, and how it enables business processes and customer utility.

Technology A Differentiator Technology is indeed a differentiator not only in terms of competitive advantage, but also in terms of administrative and back-end processes. But due to rapid technology deployment in Indian banking sector, the haves and have-nots gap is all set to narrow quickly.
Technology Differentiation Fades 赫姻温糸顎温鉛鉛霞.
How Long a Differentiator? Then.can technology be enough of a differentiator? Any new technology or technology-enabled process can act as a differentiator or a competitive edge for some level of time. After that time, the technology still has to be adopted as a necessity and as a cost of doing business Thanks to shortening technology life cycles, it would be short sighted to assume that technology would be a long term differentiator
Elements of Technology as a Differentiator Scalability & Flexibility Efficient utilisation, mgmt Process enabling Utility to customer Support Skills For Long-Term Differentiation
Issues with Customers Not only employees, there are problems for customers too when a new technology arrives The major challenges Comfort levels Security and trust issues Convenience factor Getting rid of myths Migration from existing to new systems Changing the habits
POS Terminal and Cash Dispenser POS Terminal Connected to Cash dispenser
Electronic Banking ATM Head Office Branch Banking Branch 1 Branch 2 Branch 3 Branch 4 Branch 5 Branch 6 Branch n
Technology Acquisition Inappropriate technology purchases can be the root of all problems The Bank management has to: Give thought to the utilization rate Avoid knee-jerk reactions (they have done itI should also do it) Be impartial in technology decisions (I like that technologyI want it) Understand where the solution will fit AND where it wont! Assess the strengths & weakness of solution And seek answer to are we ready for it?
Differentiation is attained not achieved just through technology, it is gained in the way the technology is selected, implemented and utilised Technology For Sustained Differentiation Goal definition Integrating business & technology goals Solution features Vendor selection Business process re-engineering Change management Efficient utilisation Customer utility Technology Management Support functions Maintenance Back-ups and Disaster Recovery Scalability & flexibility Learning & evolution
Regulation and Supervision The Challenge Challenge of Technology: New markets, products, services, delivery channels Opened up a market for risks derivatives Challenge of financing tech firms & IT innovation all have implications for the stability of banks and of the economy The Opportunity Regulators have new tools Focus of all recent financial sector reforms Emergence of non-intrusive, focused supervision with a view to prevent frauds and disturbances to financial stability
