Situation Overview

In 2005 Allianz Bank Bulgaria, made a decision to modernize its business, operational model and processes and to provide efficient products and services to retail and midmarket clients. The bank needed a standardized IT platform and infrastructure in line with Allianz Germany. Change of IT policies, business procedures and risk requirements on group level and local market were a strong decision factor at the time. Old legacy system was unable to integrate in real time with satellite systems, Cards, Internet banking, SMS, Mobile phone had to be modified. The whole non-scalable model was unable to handle the increase of customer base and demand products. The bank had a very slow time to market of new products from 3 to 6 months minimum. Finally the Bank chose Sirma Business Consulting for the entire transformation and to help in the management of execution of Project “ANI” – Allianz New Image.
