7. Customer Name and Address (CNA) Apr. 06 – Feb. 07
The objective of this project is to enable customers to inform the change to their personal
circumstances once, through the channel of their choice, and have that information reflected
accurately through all of their Halifax / BoS branded product holdings. Particularly customer's name &
address have to be reflected across all of his product holdings correctly to avoid repetitive change
instructions from the customer and to avoid complaints and financial loss due to this. Following areas
are to be fine-tuned in order to achieve this project objective.
1) New report generation through WBIMB for producing manual/automated instructions to other
systems on customer name and address changes and decommissioning / fine tuning the old customer
information system (CIS) reports.
2) Modifications to CIS batch input interfaces to handle customer name & address changes effectively.

10. Page 10 of 13
3) Modifications to CIS batch output interfaces with respect to customer name & address changes.

business volume increases. In addition, the move away from Access 2000 to standard DB2 architecture
allows future enhancements to be more easily accommodated.
