eCommerce Strategy
The strategic use of the Internet will be one of the most important decisions community
bankers will face this decade.
Your bank's presence on the Internet can be anything from an "electronic brochure"
to a "virtual branch." Deciding where your bank should be in that spectrum is an
important and complex decision. Vitex will help you decide exactly what kind of
Internet presence is right for your bank based on your current business objectives
and the market in which you compete (or would like to compete). We will also make
sure that your strategy is flexible enough to evolve with your bank.
Once the basic strategy is developed, we focus our expertise on the technology and
internal infrastructure needed to support your Internet venture. We will guide you
through the maze of Internet banking products and vendors to find solutions that
are right for your bank. We also examine the internal structure that will be required
to assure your success, including: processes and responsibility, the deployment
of Internet access for your employees, external E-mail, and Internet security issues.
Before you open your "virtual doors", we will also help you develop strategic and
tactical marketing plans to get your customers to migrate to this and other delivery
channels. If growth is one of your objectives, we will help you develop plans to
attract new customers and show you how to make Internet banking a source for revenue.
From rollout through maintenance, a well defined marketing strategy is critical.
Without it, all your Internet efforts are in vain.
