The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first

decade19thcentury, when theBank of Calcutta, later renamed theBank of Bengal, was established on 2

June 1806. The Bank of Bengal and two other

Presidency banks, namely, theBank of

Bombay(incorporated on 15 April 1840) and theBank

of Madras(incorporated on 1 July1843). All three

Presidency banks were incorporated asjointstock companies, and were the result of the royal

charters.These three banks received the exclusive

right to issue paper currency in 1861with the Paper

Currency Act, a right they retained until the formation of

theReserve Bank of India. The Presidency banks

amalgamated on27 January 1921, and the reorganized

banking entity took as its nameImperial Bank of India.

The Imperial Bank of India continued to remain a

joint stock company. Pursuant to the provisions of the

State Bank of India Act (1955), the Reserve Bank of

India, which is India's central bank ,acquired a

controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India. On

30 April 1955the Imperial Bank of India became the

SBI Core Banking

Introduction

Meeting New Market Demands

Banks and financial services organizations have

long recognized the advantages of deploying technology

to improve the value, speed and flexibility of their product

offering to customers. Particularly in todayshighlycompetitive banking industry, core banking technology is

a vital element that helps a bank differentiates itself. This

is especially true on the retail front, and allows banks to

offer many new technology driven channels to customers

such as ATMs and Internet banking, thus pioneering the

concept of Anywhere Banking, and eliminating the

concept of branch banking. With features like real-timetransaction processing coming into effect, customers can

experience the benefits of real-time

banking and no longer need to wait days or weeks for

their transactions to be completed. Another key advantage

of technology is the significant decrease of product

development and testing lead time, leading to faster launch

of new products for the bank enhancing the organizations

innovativeness and agility.

The Business Challenge


19/33

While most banking organizations in India clearly

recognized the advantages of deploying technology, they

continued to hesitate before embarking on the process dueto a number of pain areas related tothe adoption

and roll-out of technological platforms

Long implementation periodsStandard banking technology software solutions

were largely inapplicable individual organizations. As a

result, the tailoring of the solution and its roll-out for the

organization was a long and often drawn-out period.

Return on investment (ROI)Making the very significant capital investment required for a

technological package was a challenge in the environment of

keen competition and slim margins. Senior management and

shareholders demanded a clear quantification of the ROIinvolved, which was difficult to accurately evaluate and

compute.

Technology absorption rate at Indias rural branchesParticularly in branches located in Indias rural areas,
