Business needs

Alongside, the automated interconnection and display of primary information kept in the main banking system is considered a prerequisite. Due to the expected volume of calls and the desire for the maximum possible automation, it was requested to utilize the already existing (IP technology) PBX, through the Collection System, in a system with full call automation and communication data logging. The ultimate goal of BMW Financial Services was the development and operation of a modern, flexible and adaptable Collection system which will utilize existing infrastructure, will smoothly cooperate with its main banking system and serve needs with maximum speed and reliability.

The above information system includes the following subsystems: Collection Core Package Solution, CTI Calls, Core Banking system Integration, Collection Analytics. It is also easily scalable to new ones such as: Thesis.net Collection BI, Thesis.net Document Management etc. The solution had to support all existing infrastructure such as the Cisco IP technology PBX installed in Athens and the main servers of the ASP model banking system on a private VPN abroad. The completion of the project, from its undertaking to the start its productive operation, in only 3 months, was particularly successful and proved in practice the flexibility and adaptability of the Thesis.net Collection system to the needs expressed by BMW Financial Services. The system returns fast and with a host of KPIs in real-time, integrated with the PBX in one module.
