Sasfin Bank is a South African bank providing financial services for entrepreneurs. It wanted to create a single view of the customer that would help provide information required for risk analysis, compliance with Basel II regulation, and for making insightful business decisions. To do this, Sasfin took on a top challenge in the banking industry: connecting disparate systems across the bank. To better manage customer information and proactively comply with regulation, Sasfin implemented an enterprise customer management content and business intelligence solution based on the 2007 Microsoft Office system, including XML integration capabilities and file format.
