Companies are continuously confronted with increasing complexity, uncertainty and intensifying demand for growth. To cater for this, BOCHK combines organizational restructuring, process and technological expertise to shape our 5year IT Development Strategy. We have institutionalized the Business Technology Managers in each business department to enrich our dialog with the various business executives. This group of IT trained bankers doubles as our internal consultants and evangelists on how to best capitalize on emerging technologies for business growth. On the technological side, Architect office is established to introduce security and architectural models, standards and guidelines. Vigorous project reviews are conducted to ensure compliance. It also serves to co-ordinate the enterprise effort to enhance the agility of our existing applications by means of adopting standard technologies like EAI/SOA. Project support office is found to define project management disciplines, and supervise inter-project dependencies and their resolution. In collaboration with our business executives, the IT governance structure incessantly monitors and finetunes the Strategy to take on new business challenges and opportunities. This ensures our focus on the forward-looking IT strategic implementation, whilst maintaining flexibility and agility.
