Multi-Channel Delivery / Customer Data IntegrationMulti-Channel Delivery / Customer Data Integration
Over the last several years banks have introduced a variety of new delivery channels to their retail and commercial customers, and it is essential for banks to address two important goals:
- Multi-Channel Delivery (MCD): Provide an integrated and consistent banking experience to retail and commercial customers across all delivery channels.
- Customer Data Integration (CDI): Obtain complete, cross-channel and cross-product customer view, and deliver it to customer touch points in real time, enabling effective, just-in-time marketing strategies.
However, achieving these seemingly trivial goals in real life is a major challenge for most banks, due to the high complexity of integration associated with the traditional "point-to-point integration link" approach:

A Celent survey indicates that over 80% of major banks worldwide are currently engaged in or planning channel integration projects. Many top tier institutions aim to achieve full integration by 2007.

Remus Brett, senior analyst at Forrester, estimates that over the next three years large European banks will have to invest a further £50m to £300m in IT to support multi-channel banking. However, if done properly, this should reduce transaction costs by 30%.
