All efficient organizations must have good process administration and control. Tools called Business Process Management (BPM), whose purpose is to facilitate and automate the execution of process activities, are now available on the market. These products make it possible to define and follow up each process's operation flows, to store the documentation generated during its life cycle, set off alarms when a stage is not reached on time, measure the efficiency with which each process is carried out, provide operation statistics, etc. Management of reserves (experiences in implementing some of the better-known packages, such as Trema, Open Link, etc.)
In the current international economic context, the efficient management of international reserves is an important aspect for the region's Central Banks. This situation calls for information support that furnishes the tools to optimize investment decision making, in addition to guaranteeing an orderly administration process of the back office when faced with a rising number of operations. There are specific packages available on the market tailored to the management of reserves and it would be interesting to share the experience of the institutions that have facilities of this kind, and it would also be useful to be informed about the characteristics of the projects related to this subject that are underway. IT Governance
The purpose of IT governance is to facilitate work control and coordination, measure results, ensure compliance with regulations and standards, justify investment and spending, assure accountability, provide transparency in activities, assist decision making processes and risk management, and also to help understand the customers’ needs. The rising complexity of technology issues, direct technological support for all the activities of a modern organization, interconnection of actors in a transaction, the costs involved, the security required and the risks associated make it necessary to have governance schemes to ensure that technology does indeed generate opportunities for the business and that it provides added value for the organization. ILM. Information Lifecycle Management
Since 2000, the Association for Information and Image Management has been improving the concept of enterprise content management (ECM), which is defined as “…the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, administer, store, preserve and deliver content and documents related to the processes of the organization as such…”, as a result of the technological improvements available to administer content. Content is one of the cornerstones of corporate management; it is related to the handling of information in its current state and then throughout its life cycle. In this regard, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is an important component in the implementation of the ECM and its is based on more complete approximation than those offered by current technologies to manage the flow of information, including policies to manage information and operational aspects through information technology solutions for data back-up and protection, crash recovery, recovery and rebooting, storage, among others. The Information Technology and Information Storage Industries association defines ILM as “…the policies, practices and tools used to align the value of information with the most suitable and cost effective IT infrastructure, from the time when the information is created to the final discharge. The information is aligned with the business processes through service policies and levels associated with the applications, metadata, information and data…”. The Central Banks are interested in sharing experiences with those who have make progress in these processes and technologies. Electronic payments from PDAs, mobile phones and remittances.
Phone service operators have detected a potential market for mobile banking by offering services, along with commercial banks, to mobile phone users who, as customers, manage their accounts by making financial transactions in their own countries or from anywhere in the world. This means that people must be able to access their data through internet services in their mobiles or PDA devices in order to deposit in accounts in other banks or to send remittances by electronically transferring money to the beneficiaries. Some banks have aggressively promoted the service; however, this is often ahead of the regulations issued by the oversight bodies, and it is done without offering efficient security features for the users, which makes it important to be informed about experiences in this subject in the region.
