Financial branch transformation solutions

Financial services for small and medium businesses

Building business. Building relationships. Branch transformation is proving to be a critical component of financial institutions’ expansion plans. Through infrastructure optimizations and solutions consulting, IBM and IBM Business Partners can help transform your branches into full-service, relationship centers that produce increased revenue and improve customer relationships. From branch networking to security, let us customize a package that will help secure your competitive advantage.

The advantage

Branch transformation is an extensive undertaking. The project can require several services and integration challenges, such as expertise in hardware and software planning, strategy consulting, integrating back office systems, and more. IBM and IBM Business Partners are experienced in channeling these avenues to assist in customizing your infrastructure environment to produce optimal results. 

Our branch infrastructure environment utilizes on demand architecture as a foundation for converged, consolidated networks and consolidated storage servers. We also offer a full range of services that include assessment and design of the branch architecture, a full range of implementation and rollout services as well as network optimization, resource management and performance testing.

IBM and IBM Business Partners help transform your branches by:

  • Retooling the IT infrastructure: a thorough assessment of your current IT environment and building a solid plan towards IT business alignment, yielding a solid, consolidated infrastructure
  • Standardizing the networks: reduces the large, distributed networks down to a single, converged IP network
  • Establishing lifecycle network technology asset management: a process and tool alignment that grants you the ability to thoroughly understand your assets
  • Increasing network flexibility, manageability, and serviceability: a time-saving implementation that provides peace of mind

Benefits

Strengthen your branch. Strengthen your business. Branch transformation involves innovative products and technologies, trained and motivated personnel, and IT proficiency to create a successful experience. Many financial institutions are now expanding and renewing their branch networks to enter new markets and expand existing ones. 

Some benefits of branch transformation are:

  • Building a branch presence that increases customer service efficiency
  • Providing access to higher-value, consultative products
  • Building a sales culture of branch professionals who are more knowledgeable about products and services
  • Optimizing your assets through IT proficiency that works seamlessly behind the scenes and on the sales floor

Branch opportunities drive significant revenue. By coupling IBM's world-class technology with our top notch IBM Business Partner solutions, you can receive the cost-competitive, scalable and secure infrastructure you need.
