Who will be iTnews' Finance CIO of the year?

             Simon Andrews - ING Direct

Zero Touch

In one of the most ambitious projects we’ve seen in the financial sector to date, ING Direct virtualised its entire production bank over one weekend.

The bank was brutal in its approach - every technology underpinning operations was either replatformed or replaced if it didn't work within the new target architecture.

The entire modernisation project was delivered in less than a year and impressed the bank's global parent so much that it has now adopted the Aussie platform strategy as standard across its worldwide operations.                                       

Trevor Barrenger - WorkCover Queensland

Worker Assist

The compensation body revolutionised the process an injured worker needs to go through to make a claim, allowing workers to track and access information on their case throughout the process from any device in real-time.

The organisation exposed the data associated with its claim information and management process so injured workers could at any time see what stage their claim is at - cutting down on interactions with its call centre as well as red tape.

Dave Chapman - Teachers Mutual Bank

 Single customer view repository

Every Australian financial services entity is currently striving for a single-customer view, and TMB is no exception. The goal was to deliver a robust enterprise warehouse and data analytics environment based on clean data sources to support the repository - TMB did so on time and way under budget, and is already reaping significant financial benefits.
