to develop an e-commerce capability to enable the Bank to increase
its market share.

was insufficient capacity to enable an increase in the market
share.

functionality, especially into the e-commerce arena.
- OO and component based technologies could not be used to
leverage existing functionality and then to extend it.
Capabilities Needed:
Java and OO skills, 3-tier architecting capability and technical
knowledge within the team.
Code Red Provided:
Application development and implementation resources, delivery
management and roll-out, as well as knowledge transfer to the
internal technical team.

specified. E-commerce technology was exploited to expand the
system functionality. The internal staff is now skilled for
future requirements without the need for off-site training courses.
