BT Financial Group manages the wealth management operations of Westpac Banking Corporation, one of Australia's Big Four banks. It provides investment, margin lending, superannuation, and retirement income products and manages more than A$64 billion in funds. BT's information technology department lacked a cohesive process for gathering information about defects and quality metrics for the 100-odd software projects it managed every year. Working with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner livePoint, BT Financial Group implemented a pilot project using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to automate this process and provide a central repository for this data. Independent business analyst and consultant BearingPoint found BT Financial Group could save almost A$540,000 per year through reduced manual work and achieve a variety of operational and strategic benefits.
