Innovative Platform Enhances Self-Service Channels to Provide Personalized, Real-Time and On-Demand Interface for Bank Customers

BANGALORE, India and LONDON and NEW YORK, December 15 - Infosys Technologies Ltd. announced the launch of Finacle
Advizor(TM), an integrated platform which empowers banks to deliver products
and services through a fully assisted self-service channel using existing
Internet banking capabilities.

The patent pending solution provides banking customers a
self-service channel, like the Internet, kiosk and ATM, for real-time access
to their bank relationship, such as account inquiries, fund transfers, credit
card and mutual fund payments and remittances. In addition, Finacle
Advizor(TM) enables bank customers using the self-service channel to
experience the comfort of interacting with a bank representative who can help
with transaction assistance and remote advisory functions. This not only
enhances the customer experience but also increases the efficiency of the
bank staff, improving the return on investment for the bank from the channel.

According to Haragopal Mangipudi, Global Head - Finacle,
Infosys Technologies, "Finacle Advizor(TM) provides banks a channel to offer
high-touch, personalized and interactive services to customers. It
significantly increases operational efficiency at a fraction of the total
cost of ownership. The solution can even help banks reach unbanked and remote
populations by enabling human interactions through self-service kiosks."

Worldwide, banks have been looking for the middle path between
the low cost self-service channel and high-touch service capabilities at the
branch. While self-service channels allow banks to expand service and
geography footprint economically, they lack the assurance of human
interaction and personalized services, greatly limiting the customer
experience. Further, there is very limited scope of capturing a customer's
banking preferences which leads to lost right-selling opportunities. On the
other hand, the branch provides the best potential to build relationships,
understand the customer and develop future business but it involves high
capital expenditure, limited geographical reach, and high cost of customer
acquisition and service. Banks are constantly driven to reduce costs of
operation and transactions without diluting the customer experience.

Using IP convergence and Web 2.0 principles, Finacle
Advizor(TM) integrates the self-service channel with the comfort of human
intervention through video, audio and data communication and co-browsing,
virtually recreating the service experience of a branch and also bringing in
Triple play and collaboration capabilities of Web 2.0 to banking. The
solution leverages the latest developments in Unified Communications
technologies and enables banks to offer sophisticated, human interaction
based transactions through otherwise basic self-service channels. Finacle
Advizor(TM) is available on the Microsoft platform.

As a leader in banking transformation, Finacle(TM) has a
global footprint across 64 countries and has been acknowledged among the
leaders in the core banking solution space by top analysts including Gartner
and Forrester. Finacle(TM) is also the winner of a series of awards for its
innovation and implementation capabilities, the most notable ones being The
Banker Technology Award, The Asian Banker IT Implementation Award and The
Banking Technology Judge's Special Award for "Innovative Use of IT".
