ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
PROJECT EXECUTION
The project was executed during a period of 14 weeks on the client’s premises. The client, the leading bank in its south east Asian market, was interested in measures that would increase the profitability of its credit card business but will have very little or no impact in its information technology systems.
Their core banking system was considerably outdated and provided them with no flexibility. In addition, the bank was encountering aggressive competition in the market and did not wanted to conduct changes that could affect customer satisfaction.
In this context, the four-man team from UPITE was able to present 37 strategies aimed at increasing the banks billings minimizing. Of these strategies 15 were approved and prioritized for implementation. The development of the initial strategies was initialized three months after implementation and were in place before the 6-month mark after project end.

Considering the limitations imposed by their IT infrastructure and their competitive position, the bank aimed for 5.00 US per year of additional income per active card to be generated by the project. At project end the estimated impact of the accepted strategies was 9.02 USD, exceeding the client’s expectations by 80%.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
Of the initial approved strategies, 10 were implemented within the first year after project execution and 5 are pending implementation, awaiting a new banking core system scheduled to be deployed.
Original impact estimations of the implemented strategies proved to be conservative, as the tracked impact is 60 % above their original estimation.

As you can see above 31% of the value implemented was parametric. All parametric strategies were implemented within 6 months after their presentation.
Due to their technological infrastructure limitations, no recommendations that would have required extensive development were presented to the client.

RESULTS OBTAINED
UPITE was able to deliver strategies that would consistently increase the profitability of the bank’s portfolio, despite severe IT restrictions and a tough competitive environment:
-
12.12 USD per active Credit Card
Additional impact per card is expected to be achieved once additional IT capabilities are acquired by the client and allow the implementation of 5 additional strategies.
The client was extremely pleased with the results of the project and since this initial project UPITE Consulting has worked in two additional engagements for this client.
