The wait is over, at last and now for the first time, we announce the arrival of a new generation web-based front-end financial software - F@ST™BDS , specially developed for the financial industry - particularly the banks.
No matter the bank and financial institution are looking for a specialized banking requirement, or a fully integrated branch delivery system, or a turn-key fully automated branch network, or for the redesign of workflow procedures, Our team’s approach will always be first to understand the context and the nature of the business problem. Having thoroughly understood the vital issue we then proceed to specify the functional requirements for the information technology solution, and then we are in a position to design the solution which solves the problem. The partnership approach will serve both F@ST™BDS and our banking customers well.
Now, more than ever, banks need to quickly and economically develop, implement and easily GO ONLINE to all branches. They must also be able to efficiently communicate with all these branches, which may be located in remote locations of vast countries like Indonesia, China, India and United States etc. Saving time in application development by employing new technology is of the essence for the banks to stay competitive and grow.
To save time and cost for the customers in software development, deployment, modification, addition and distribution for branch system, we have spent more than three years in research and development to develop a new generation web-based Branch Delivery System called F@ST™BDS a major breakthrough in BDS application software. Our specialists who developed this system have more than 30 years of combined banking application development and implementation experiences.
F@ST™BDS provides integrated development tools to enable robust development of application with built-in warehouse components. It stores everything in one place on the server and can be accessed anywhere as long as internet is available. With development tools, developers can instantly build webpage without requiring high skill of programming. The business logics, rules, data mapping, input validations are all predefined in the development tools before using the application on the production website.
Fast Development and Deployment Time
F@ST™BDS consists of development tools, which have embedded most programming and coding techniques, pre-developed by our software experts. These tools enable us to help the banks develop their branch system with more than 80% of time saving. It embraces all the transaction requirements prevailing in the market and more. Clicking on the screen menu can simply create all types of transaction for the branch and no tedious programming and coding are necessary.
On the Banks' side, no highly skilled IT personnel are required, which can save them lots of IT staffs costs both in the short and long terms. It also relieves the banks on their problems in sourcing for scarcely available skilled IT personnel. Once system is installed, we can easily train the banks IT staffs, whether they are experience or not, to make use of our tools to create majority of the new transactions independently of our involvement. This gives the banks one of the biggest advantages for minimum involvement of vendor after installation.
F@ST™BDS will save tremendous development times in cases when banks cannot specifically define or omit certain requirements during the initial planning stage, which do happen most of the times. It enables changes to be made easily during the development process. No re-coding or re-programming is required.
As mentioned before, most coding and programming have already been built into tools which are being used for developing applications. In addition, we have structured our development modules in small packages utilizing data tables. There are no correlation and dependency between different types of transactions, which are fully independent of each other. Functions update and addition can thus be done instantly. For example, if a bank decides to launch new products or services using the same data tables, the application modules for such new items can be created independently within hours instead of the normal days, weeks or months using other current systems. In fact, the IT staffs of the bank can do it themselves without involving engineers from us.
Since the application is web-based and due to the small file size structure, and the use of TCP/IP transfer protocol, all updates or additions automatically from the head office instantly, without interrupting the bank's operation or shutting down the whole system.
F@ST™BDS uses Data Tables for all transaction types. Small Message Tables are used to communicate between branches and back-end host across the network using TCP/IP protocols. When on-line, customers' information will thus appears instantaneously on the screen of the teller as if he is accessing the Internet using Web Browser. However, F@ST™BDS makes full use of 'Store and Forward' technology so that branch system can also operate Off-line, unlike the industry standard of web browsing which must be online all the time in order to process transactions.
Due to the unique nature of our technologies and the use of TCP/IP communication protocols, F@ST™BDS can be connected to ANY single or multiple back-end host systems. In other words, it is not necessary for the bank to install new backend system if its existing backend systems are robust enough for future expansion. This will also save the banks huge expenses by avoiding transferring of data between old and new hosts.
F@ST™BDS has been specially designed to ensure fast and efficient customer service. Engineers from our service center can remotely troubleshoot most of the problems occurred in the client's system via email or whatsapp.
F@ST™BDS has built‐in standard features allowing users unlimited flexibility in defining their own cross-currency transaction scenario. Vendor’s assistance is not required. The screen below illustrates the complex task of setting up cross-currency transaction can be performed by the banks staffs through clicking on and filling up the parameter fields; and the system will take care of the rest.
F@ST™BDS advantage begins with a flexible system architecture, sophisticated software design and comprehensive built‐in transaction functions gained through many years of practical industrial experiences. It offers unique and compelling advantages over competing offerings currently available in the market.
We fully understand the need to protect your software investment, and hence we provide the tools and support necessary to ensure that your software can expand as requirements and environments change. These include upgrade of software and its built-in utilities. We also offer specialized software customization, which allow modification and enhancement of F@ST™BDS system after installation.
We employ a four-step process to implement the F@ST™BDS system, namely definition, customization, implementation, and project handover.
During the definition phase, the scopes of project and detailed project schedules are agreed upon on signing of contract.
With the transaction sets information, our Systems Consultants would then proceed to work with the client's team of professional to customize a prototype system.
The prototype will then be documented in the Customer Functional Specification (CFS), which will guides the further software development process and this CFS will provide the contractual basis for measuring system performance.
Once the prototype system is tested operationally ready according to the clients' requirement, we will carry out the implementation and testing process.
Upon completion of installation and testing, we will then handover the project to the client.
More details about the whole implementation procedures can be found in our Project Implementation Manual not included in this document.
Support for our customers does not end when the last branch is installed. After completion of system installation, we will be there to help you keep your system running smoothly and plan for your future needs, all according to mutually agreed terms and conditions.
F@ST™BDS offers many competitive advantages, such as:
A true multi-tasking, multi-user system
Proven banking application software
Superior software development tools
The F@ST™BDS application development tools offer important benefits that streamline and improve the entire software specification, development, testing, and enhancement cycle:
The tools use web-browser-object concepts to perform many operations - Pointing and clicking instead of typing code and commands.
Creating transaction screens is visually oriented. This eliminates guesswork when positioning objects in relation to each other.
The tools can create Screens Collection, Fields/Controls Collection, Currencies Collection, Host Data Collection, Transaction Hyperlink, ActiveX DLL/EXE object call, External/ 3rd party object integration appear in the runtime environment.
Creating other object types requires no knowledge of their internal structure. In most cases, all object information is displayed and edited in a single screen.
F@ST™BDS uses a Business Object Mapping to store all application elements and procedures used at runtime, including fields, edit mask, browser field, journal field, messages field, print field, total field, user defined parameter field, procedural routines, etc.
Speed menu, sub menu, and status bar templates for field objects quicken the defining process for numerous similar fields.
Import functions are available to copy within or between screen objects or objects used in the screens.
A multi-user development methodology is integrated into the design. This allows several developers to work on multiple copies of Visual Integrated Development and merge the changes into business object table definition
Creating other object types requires no knowledge of their internal structure. In most cases, all object information is displayed and edited in a single screen.
