Quote

Oksana, in your opinion, does the market situation affect the requirements for the bank's IT infrastructure?

Oksana Smirnova-Krell: First of all, we need to determine what we mean by the term "IT infrastructure." If we talk not about individual information systems, but about the entire software and hardware complex that ensures the bank's work, then the IT architecture and IT platform are influenced not by the market situation, but by the activities that the credit institution is engaged in. The profile of the bank's activities, the structure of its branch network, is important, since, for example, a universal bank with an extensive multifilial network will have an IT infrastructure different from a small bank. In addition, business processes existing in a particular bank, the degree of centralization of operational and other functions, the adopted system of risk management, settlements, interaction with the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, customer service (including remote), decision-making, etc. also imprint their imprint.

All this is reflected in the technological structure and architecture of the IT platform and the features of the implementation of a particular software solution. ABS in the bank can be both centralized and locally distributed, jobs in branches can be organized on the basis of both "thick" and "thin" customers. This determines the composition and structure of the server equipment that the bank needs, communication channel requirements and other functionality. Thus, the primary importance for the formation of the bank's IT infrastructure is not the market situation, but the profile of the bank's activities, its development strategy, its size, geographical distribution. Although indirectly, of course, the market affects these factors, since both the size of the bank and the strategy and geographical presence largely depend on the market situation. It is the bank's strategy that determines the profile of its activities, and the latter establishes requirements for the IT platform, its support, etc.^[1]
