Asseco CBP is a unique solution that combines the functionality of online and mobile banking to provide bank clients with access to business products and services. It is based on an innovative ecosystem of mini-applications. Bank clients may log in to the banking platform through a web browser and then use a number of available mini applications, including Payments, Cash deposits, Cards, and Loans.

“The implemented solution will bring multiple business benefits to Deutsche Bank by giving it a great deal of flexibility in the development of services offered over a remote access platform,” said Sławomir Ziajka, Director of the Commercial Banks Division at Asseco Poland S.A. “This way the bank’s clients will gain access to services tailored to their specific needs. Moreover, the bank will be able to group the mini-applications into special packages to be provided to different groups of clients,” he added.

Asseco’s task within this project was to supply, install and configure the system, as well as to train the bank’s employees. In addition, the company supported the software parameterization and provided assistance during the system testing and operational launch. Implementation of the project took about 6 months.

“Our clients can no longer be perceived as traditional customers of a bank branch, and instead they tend to become bank users,” commented Leszek Niemycki, Vice President of Deutsche Bank Poland. “They want to be able to use banking services at any place and time. Today, our clients focus primarily on the usability, intuitive operation and security of banking platforms. Furthermore, they demand a personalized offering. Therefore, we need not only to offer attractive financial products and services, but also to provide them in a modern environment,” he added.

Asseco CBP has been designed in total compliance with the RWD (Responsive Web Design) paradigm. Owing to that, the same software can be used on a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets and desktop PCs. The system will automatically adapt its appearance and functionality to the device which is currently used by a client. In addition, open architecture of the solution enables the development of an unlimited number of mini applications with any scale of complexity and by various software providers, adding a lot of flexibility to Deutsche Bank operations. The Bank is also able to upload any additional components independently, gaining the possibility to provide new mini-applications to its customers quickly and efficiently.

“By creating this system we wanted to give banks the opportunity to promptly respond to the needs of their customers, which is very important in such a competitive market as the banking sector,” said Sławomir Ziajka. “The system allows for fast preparation and launch (time-to-market) of new banking services,  simply by adding additional mini-applications to offer new functionalities or upgrade the existing ones,” he added.

The implementation of Asseco CPB at Deutsche Bank constitutes an element of its omnichannel strategy. It is intended to integrate all new and traditional channels of communication with the bank into a single coherent environment. This means a client can get access to the same products and services of the bank, regardless of the channel of communication he or she chooses to use. Be it a smartphone, a personal computer, or a consultant at the bank’s call-center or traditional branch, the availability of products is nearly identical.

The banking platform engineered by Asseco provides a variety of other functionalities that can be  implemented by the bank in an effort to expand its business offering. One of them is the boutique of  mini-applications which may be downloaded by clients, similarly as from the Apple Store or Google Play. Each client can select just these mini applications that best match his or her individual needs, and thereby create a fully personalized banking platform.The project of implementing Asseco CPB at Deutsche Bank Poland was presented during the Asseco Banking Forum that was held in Warsaw on 7 October.

During the project execution, Asseco is going to transfer customers’ data into a new billing system, namely Oracle Billing and Revenue Management (BRM). The migration process will cover the data of B2B fixed-line telephony customers as well as wholesalers, who offer their own telecommunications services based on the infrastructure provided by Orange Poland. The project will enable Orange to consolidate its billing systems and to upgrade the level of its customer services and the related billing and revenue management. The migration of customer data is expected to be completed by mid-2017.
“We have been assigned to collect the system requirements, carry out the analytical phase, implement any modifications to the BRM system and its integrated software environment, as well as to migrate the customers’ data,” said Radosław Semkło, Director of the Telecommunications and Media Division at Asseco Poland.
“Serat Deco is a continuation of key activities undertaken by Orange Poland in the area of billing systems, as well as one of our major strategic programs aimed at the transformation of our business and technology. Building a new integrated software environment is an important element of this transformation,” said Piotr Muszyński, Vice President of Orange Poland. “This will change our approach to selling and servicing modern telecommunications services, and in particular converged services,” he added.
Asseco is one of the key IT vendors for Orange Poland. It acts as the operator’s partner being responsible, among others, for the development of invoicing and customer service systems as well as for outsourcing of a billing system for fixed-line telephony. The company has also implemented its proprietary Asseco Utility Management Solutions (AUMS) which support the management and billing processes involved in the sale of electricity that has been launched by Orange Poland earlier this year.

A technologically advanced network to be built by Asseco will provide the basis for further project activities with the objective to implement electronic medical records in Mazovian hospitals, which are supervised by regional authorities, as well as to establish the Center for Economic and Statistical Analysis. “Our task is to modernize and expand local area networks at 23 medical centers in order to enable fast and secure data transfer among these hospitals,” said Andrzej Dopierała, Vice President of Asseco Poland S.A., and added: “It will also allow for efficient sharing of information during patient treatment processes.”Under the concluded agreement, Asseco will be responsible, among others, for the design, supply, installation, configuration and deployment of network infrastructure, as well as for the implementation of software.The key priority of the “e-Health for Mazovia” project is to provide the largest possible number of inhabitants with the possibility of using the Internet as a tool to communicate with doctors, as well as to streamline the work of medical personnel. Furthermore, the project aims to ensure safe and lawful generation, storage and transmission of medical records between hospitals, as well as integration of such resources with the Electronic Platform for Gathering of Information on Medical Procedures P1 which is developed on the national level.Asseco has extensive experience in projects involving the computerization of healthcare centers.

The AMMS system will provide support for the hospital’s medical departments (HIS). The project is intended to upgrade the quality of medical services and management at the Railways Hospital in Wilkowice-Bystra. Once the implementation is completed, the hospital will be able to use 22 applications that will support the daily work of its personnel, among others, at the admissions office, consultation rooms, laboratories, and hospital pharmacy. The new software will allow for more efficient organization of treatment processes by providing doctors will all the necessary information on the patient’s hospitalization, test results and medical parameters. Software mechanisms featured by AMMS, such as asymmetric cryptography, will ensure highly reliable and secure flow of information.“AMMS is a state-of-the-art managerial tool that enables efficient collection and distribution of information as well as creation of electronic medical records,” said Krzysztof de Lorm, Commercial Director at the Healthcare Systems Division of Asseco Poland S.A. “Quick access to information, intuitive and highly comfortable operation of this modern IT system have been appreciated by more than 170 hospitals already,” he added.The implementation of AMMS system has been assigned to Asseco’s partner, namely Info-Lider, which is also going to install new computer and network hardware.
