The IT department at Nations Trust Bank PLC gained recognition by
winning the Silver Award in the in house Applications category at the
National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA) competition, a high
profile event that was held recently at the Water's Edge Grand Ballroom,
amidst a distinguished gathering of the country's top corporate and
software development companies.
The BCS Sri Lanka Section has conducted the competition since 1998 to
recognise and honour significant technological developments in the
software industry.
Commenting on the award won by the Bank, Chief Information Officer at
Nations Trust Bank PLC, Lasith Nanayakkara said, "We are delighted in
being recognised for the i-collect solution which was developed by our
in-house development team."
He further added, "This unique solution was developed after analysing
the potential risk and impact of nonperforming loans and credit cards to
the banks financial stability.
The application is mainly used by the Central Collections Department
and is used to track the non performing assets, to categorise delinquent
customers, to necessitate required action and provide relevant
information to recoveries staff, to assign appropriate responsibilities,
and provide the required Management Information for improved decision
making." Following the recent success, the Nations IT team have also
become eligible to participate at the Asia Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA)
2008 to be held in Jakarta from November 11 to 15.
