In India, ING VYSYA Bank Ltd. is a colebration of the two most successful, Vysya Bank Ltd, a premier bank in the Indian Private Sector and a global financial powerhouse, ING of Dutch origin, during Oct 2002. Firstly I introduce the ING Group , the world's fourth largest financial services company and the seventeenth largest global corporation.
Profile
Who we are
ING Group is a global financial services company of Dutch origin with 150
years of experience, providing a wide array of banking, insurance and asset management services in over 50 countries. Our 114,000 employees work daily to satisfy a broad customer base: individuals, families, small businesses, large corporations, institutions and governments. Based on market capitalisation, ING is one of the 20 largest financial institutions worldwide and ranked in the top-10 in Europe. ING has gained recognition for its integrated approach of banking, insurance and asset management. Furthermore, the company differentiates itself from other financial service providers by successfully establishing life insurance companies in countries with emerging economies, such as Korea, Taiwan, Hungary, Poland, Mexico and Chile. Another specialisation is ING Direct, an Internet and direct marketing concept with which ING is rapidly winning retail market share in mature markets. Finally, ING distinguishes itself internationally as a provider of employee benefits, 2
i.e. arrangements of nonwage benefits, such as pension plans for companies and their employees.
Business
ING is the number one financial services company in the Benelux home
market. ING services its retail clients in these markets with a wide range of retailbanking, insurance and asset management services. Our wholesale banking activities operate worldwide but with a primary focus on the Benelux countries. In the United States, ING is a top-5 provider of retirement services direct bank with over 15 million customers in nine large countries. In the growth markets of Asia, Central Europe and South America we, for example, provide life insurance. We are also a large asset manager with assets under management of around EUR 500 billion.and life insurance. In Canada, we are the top property and casualty insurer. ING Direct is a leading
Stakeholders
ING conducts its business on the basis of clearly defined business principles. In all our activities we carefully weigh the interests of our stakeholders: customers, employees, shareholders, business partners and society at large. ING strives to be a good corporate citizen.
Our strategy
We are a customer-orientated company with a clear organisation and strategy
which is founded on value based management. We have a strong position in mature markets where we want to generate further growth through proper execution of our business fundamentals (such as customer satisfaction and managing costs, risk and our reputation) and we focus on growth in retirement services, direct banking and life insurance in developing markets. That way we try to offer our shareholders a higher return than the average of our peers.
SETTING THE STANDARD IN HELPING OUR CUSTOMERS MANAGE THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURE
Mission
We strive to deliver our financial products and services in the way our customers expect: with exemplary service, maximum convenience and at competitive rates. This is reflected in our mission statement: to set the standard in helping our 4
customers manage their financial future. ING`s mission is to be a leading, global, client-focused, innovative and low-cost provider of financial services through the distribution channels of the clients preference in markets where ING can create value.
A clear organisation
To fulfill any mission statement you need an organization that is up to the task. ING has a management structure based on the principles of transparency, accountability and client focus. Our activities are organised along six functional business lines with direct reporting lines that enable quick decision-making and foster personal empowerment and strong accountability.
A clear strategy
To achieve this, we manage for value. This means focusing on growing economic profit, which measures profit beyond the cost of capital, and emphasising return improvement and profitable organic growth.
EXECUTION
In our mature businesses profitable organic growth comes from the proper execution of our business fundamentals. This means managing costs, risks and reputation and exemplary customer service.
Customer satisfaction
ING attaches the utmost importance to exemplary customer service. Especially in mature markets, we believe high customer satisfaction is the way to differentiate ourselves from our peers and to generate profitable top-line growth. In order to continuously improve customer satisfaction, INGs mission statement (above) is the guideline for every employee. We continuously measure customer satisfaction and set performance targets.
Managing costs
Customer satisfaction alone, however, is not enough to create value, especially not in mature markets. Fierce competition in these markets makes it essential to look continuously for ways to keep costs under control and improve efficiency. Cost containment and excellent customer satisfaction go hand-in-hand as operational drivers to create value in these markets.
Managing risks
Managing our risks and consequently the cost of capital is essential for stable, profitable growth. Risk management supports value creation by providing insight into the levels of risk we can absorb compared with our earnings power and capital base. Integrated risk management (combining credit, market, insurance and operational risk into one common view) is a key ingredient in our strategy. It allows us to capture the benefits of being a diversified financial services firm and to create a clear overview of all risks. Our ultimate goal of integrated risk management is to better align our risk taking to our risk appetite. This allows ING to make optimal use of its capital base, leading to a lower overall cost of capital.
Managing reputation
Integrity and reputation are two of INGs most important assets. Our strong focus on execution has resulted in a greater emphasis on the importance of adherence to laws and regulations. Regulatory compliance is essential because INGs long-term relationships with its clients depend on integrity and fairness. ING has a group wide compliance policy. Senior management is accountable for compliance and compliance is integrated in their performance targets and remuneration structure.
GROWTH
ING also continues to invest in business areas that have clear growth potential. We have defined three main areas of growth: retirement services, direct banking and life insurance in developing markets. ING has strong positions in these businesses and intends to raise further their profit potential by using the experience and capital gained in INGs mature business.
Direct Banking
The continuing increase of the use of internet offers great business opportunities. With ING Direct we have delivered in this business and continue to do so. Today, ING is the leading direct bank in the world. By expanding our product range from savings into mortgages, we expect to continue to grow this business. Currently ING Direct is active in nine mature economies: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States. In the Netherlands, Post bank is INGs direct bank.
Retirement services
We see significant opportunities in mature and growth markets for retirement services. This is driven by demographic and regulatory changes. The population throughout the world is ageing. Governments can not deal with this challenge on their own. Retirement services are a key area for businesses to develop. ING has a long-standing expertise in this field. We already excel in providing retirement 8
services in many regions. ING is involved in assisting governments and setting up pension structures in many developing markets.
A PERFORMANCE CULTURE
Success requires that employees understand INGs strategy and the goals of their business unit. Employees must know their role in achieving these goals and receive regular feedback on their performance and are rewarded accordingly. This is how ING sees a performance culture and how it is being embedded in the company.
IN SHORT
We are a customer-orientated company with a clear organisation and strategy which is founded on value based management. We have a strong position in mature markets where we want to generate further growth through proper execution of our business fundamentals (such as customer satisfaction and managing costs, risk and 9
our reputation) and we focus on growth in retirement services, direct banking and life insurance in developing markets. That way we try to offer our shareholders a higher return than the average of our peers.
We are committed to our integrity We aim for an above average return We are open and clear We promote sustainable development and respect human rights We respect each other

ING VYSYA BANK LEADING THE WAY IN INDIA A LEGACY REPLACEMENT SUCCESS STORY
ING Vysya Bank Ltd. provides its 1.5 million customers with a variety of full-service retail banking products including deposits and loans, mutual funds, investments, debit cards and credit cards. ING Vysya also provides credit services, cash management services, foreign exchange and foreign trade services along with treasury, investment and wealth management services.
AFTER EVALUATING VARIOUS OTHER BANKING SYSTEMS, WE ARE PLEASED TO HAVE SELECTED SANCHEZ [FIDELITY].
SANCHEZ PROFILES RICH SET OF FUNCTIONS AND ITS DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE WILL MAXIMIZE OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY SERVICES AND PROVIDE A SET OF INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
BENEFITS
Allows the bank to offer customers AAA Banking (Anywhere, Anytime, Anyhow) Automates back-office operations, reducing required staffing Reduces time to market for new products New customer-centric architecture dramatically improves customer service Less bandwidth requirements and little system overhead Global expertise
PROJECT AMULA
At the beginning of 2000, ING Vysya was still using legacy branch automation systems when the decision was made to migrate to a centralized banking solution. The bank had two overwhelming requirements: timely information for decision making and new product development, and the ability to offer new retail delivery channels. In addition, the bank needed a solution that would be compatible with existing IT systems. Because the Indian banking industry is highly competitive, banks are trying to improve levels of service to attract new customers and improve retention. This led ING Vysya to create an aggressive business plan to modernize the banks retail and corporate banking operations in south India where the bank has prominent brand equity. Bank executives felt that if they could accomplish this goal, they would be well on their way to becoming the leading customer-centric bank in India. ING Vysya decided that their first step was to migrate from legacy architecture to a new, customer-centric, coreprocessing solution. The project was nicknamed VysAmulya meaning invaluable, showing the banks level of committment to the migration efforts. 27
AAA BANKING
With its integration of Profile, ING Vysya was able to offer Internet banking services to its customers in June 2002. Named mi-b@nk, the service allows bank customers to conduct transactions from their location of choice at home, in the office or wherever they are able to access a PC with Internet connectivity. With a simple mouse-click, ING Vysyas customers can now use mi-b@nk to view account status and details, authorize fund transfers, retrieve a statement of accounts, order demand drafts, run what-if scenarios for monthly installments, and compute interest and maturity amounts for deposits and loans.
GROWING REVENUES
ING Vysya deployed Profile as part of an aggressive business plan to modernize the banks retail and corporate banking operations in south India. The
28
bank expects to achieve a 300 percent rise in revenues from treasury operations as a result of timely information from the new, centralized architecture.
INCREASED AUTOMATION
At the beginning of 2000, ING Vysya was still performing partial or fully manual processing in over half its branches. With the installation of Profile, the bank reduced the amount of staffing required to process transactions by 15 percent.
INCREASED EFFICIENCY
At the heart of the Profile system is a database engine that provides efficient message formatting. For ING Vysya, this translates to reduced bandwidth
29
requirements and little system overhead. This saves the bank on hardware configuration costs and decreases end of day processing time. Before Profile was installed, the banks processing time depended on the size of the branch and the systems in the branch. In addition, the system was decentralized and therefore relied on trial balances that were forwarded every two weeks. With Profile in place, ING Vysya branches now have financials by the next morning. In addition, end of day processing is now accomplished in only 90 minutes.
GLOBAL EXPERTISE
Although Profile has multicurrency and multilingual capabilities, some country specific customization was required including recurring deposits, cash credits and overdrafts, clearing, remittances, time deposit savings and statutory reporting. Upon full completion of the rollout, ING Vysya will have centralized information and the ability to offer integrated banking services across several delivery channels on a 24x7 basis throughout India. The experience Fidelity has gained from Project Amula will undoubtedly help additional Indian banks that seek to migrate legacy systems to an updated, modern architecture.
CENTERED ON CUSTOMERS
Before the Profile implementation, ING Vysya was equipped with partial branch computerization and total branch computerization (with LAN). After implementation, ING Vysya established a wide area network to connect branches nationwide. As a result, customer data that is entered at the branch level is instantly updated via realtime processing throughout the bank network. This provides ING 30
Vysya staff with a wealth of data, enabling customer service and banking representatives to access complete customer information from every branch to improve marketing opportunities and deliver better service to customers.
TECHNICAL STRATEGY
Profile replaces ING Vysyas in-house legacy transaction processing system. The new software configuration consists of Profile and FMS, operating centrally on IBM pSeries servers, running AIX v4.3 with Diebold ATMs.sit Fidelitys Web site at www.fidelityinfoservices.c Retail branches have Profile for Windows front end on Windows NT and SQL Server. The data center in Bangalore is connected to 12 distribution points through two Mbps leased lines with ISDN back-up and Cisco 7500 routers. Each distribution point is, in turn, connected to its group of branches through 64Kbps leased lines with ISDN/PSTN back-up. The data recovery center is located in Hyderabad and is connected to a data center in Bangalore on 2X4Mbps leased lines as well as to all distribution points. Data replication between the main data center and the disaster recovery center occurs twice daily.

Research design is actually the blue print of the research project and when implemented must bring out the information required for solving the identified marketing problem. The research design indicates the method of research (i.e. method of information gathering, the instruments of research, the method of sampling etc.). The choice of research design depends upon the depth and extant of data required, the cost of benefits of research, the urgency of work and the time available for completing it. Research design is mainly of three types:
(a) Exploratory: Exploratory study can be used to establish priorities. The major emphasis is on the discovery of ideas and insights. It helps in formulating hypothesis.
(b) Descriptive or Conclusive: The descriptive study is typically concerned with determining frequency with which something occurred or how two variables vary together. It is guided by an initial hypothesis. (c) Experimentation: Experimentation is defined as a process where events occur in a setting at the discretion of the experimenter and controls are used to identify the source of variation in the subject.

1. 2. 3. 4.
DATA COLLECTION
The research plans calls for gathering primary data or secondary data or both. Secondary data consists of information they may be biased sometimes . I have used primary data for providing information . The first thing accomplished by me was pre-testing of questionnaire . The area selected for this was Delhi and NCR . As the area given to me is Delhi and NCR , there were abundant peoples of various culture . I had all the relevant information from the peoples or as well as from the customers . The customer know very well the significance of the project. And provided useful information as required.
94
ANALYSIS QUESTIONNAIRE
Analysis of the questionnaire is the most important part of any project. On analyzing the questionnaire, we come to know that about 40% i.e. Large chunk is using SBI product because of the large and government . Because of its low price and it is in easy approach for everyone . Then the next 25% of market capture by the ICICI bank. About the linking of the current a/c basically SBI is on the top, than ICICI bank and other banks are captures market. SBI is liked because of its old bank and most successful bank in India. But the ING VYSYA bank is new for Delhi and NCR areas customers but in south India ING VYSYA bank is no 1 bank in each sector. Good number of respondents had shown satisfaction on the customer behavior few respondents that customer have over influencing behavior and other had given their view that customer and advisors have very formal behavior. They do not respond well with the customers. Although there is a contradiction in the view regarding the behavior of the customer. But a large segment of respondents had shown their full satisfaction for the customer after service . Respondent also wants good schemes from the ING VYSYA bank ltd. 96
