The bank has focused on many business-oriented technology agenda.
Arti Dhole, CIO and IT Head at the bank, lists the measures: “Cosmos Bank is a pioneer in implementing Infosys’s Finacle Core Banking Solution, recognized as the world’s best CBS solution. Being CIO, my focus has been more on automation, state-through-processing, integration, reduction in revenue/income leakage and speed-up of the customer services as well as use of localization to reduce clumsy customizations. So, we have upgraded the core banking platform with the latest version which has given us a strong launch pad to offer various services across alternate channels such as web, mobile, call centers, ATMs, kiosks and other systems as well as social media. We have also built a robust repository of data - both static and transactional which could potentially be leveraged to analyze and offer business solutions targeted at specific customer segments with the help of data analytics.”
