CHENNAI, INDIA, May 11, 2013 (Press-News.org) Polaris Financial Technology Ltd, a leader in products, solutions and services that enable unprecedented operational productivity for the global Financial Services industry, announced that the company bagged three prestigious Technology Implementation Awards at the 7th Asian Banker Awards ceremony held in Jakarta, Indonesia. The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with the Asian Banker Summit 2013, the foremost annual forum for global thought leaders in the APAC financial services industry.
Polaris won the following awards:
- The 'Best Cross Border Core Banking Project' award for its implementation at Saigon Hanoi Bank (SHB), for expanding the bank's operations cross border into the two neighboring countries of Cambodia and Laos
- The 'Best Lending Platform Project' award for its implementation at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), that enabled the bank to enhance product offerings and customer servicing levels, and simplify operations of the retail lending portfolio
- The 'Best Central Bank Technology Project' award for its implementation at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for providing the bank superior functional coverage and future ready architecture with the capability of handling 100 million transactions per day
According to Ms. Carol Wheatcroft, Associate Director Research (Technology & Operations), The Asian Banker, "The awards programme, administered by The Asian Banker and refereed by prominent global bankers, IT consultants and academics, is the most prestigious of its kind. A stringent three month long evaluation process determined the winners from across the Asia Pacific and the Middle East region. The awards highlight Polaris' growing presence in the FT space along with its ability to cater to diverse markets."
Commenting on the win, Mr. Arun Jain, Chairman & CEO, Polaris Financial Technology Ltd said, "We are extremely delighted to receive three prestigious awards in the Financial Technology space as this is yet another validation of the unprecedented productivity that our Intellect suite of products have driven. We are privileged to serve banks of the calibre of the Reserve Bank of India, Saigon Hanoi Bank and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank where Polaris has provided the vital connect between business, technology and operations. It is a tribute to our Product teams that they match superior design thinking with the rigour of delivery excellence".
'Best Cross Border Core Banking Project' award for its implementation at Saigon Hanoi Bank (SHB): For an implementation that took just under two months, delivering the project 28 days ahead of schedule, Polaris' Intellect Core Banking Solution (CBS) has provided Saigon Hanoi Bank (SHB) the technology that will allow the bank to expand and operate in two new countries. In its endeavor to expand into foreign markets, SHB had decided to launch operations into neighboring countries of Cambodia and Laos and leverage its existing core banking system from Polaris. The core banking platform had already been instrumental to the bank's growth in Vietnam and was capable of coping with the regulatory and operational demands of the two new markets which are quite distinct from Vietnam. As a result of the successful implementation, SHB is currently experiencing strong rates of growth to its business in both countries, enabled by the technology.
'Best Lending Platform Project' award for its implementation at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB): Polaris' Intellect Loan Management System, as a single-instance loan servicing platform has enabled the bank to have a consolidated view of its customers' loan portfolio across different business lines, streamlining its entire loan servicing operations. The bank derived both financial and operational benefits from the project. Cost reduction has been achieved through savings on core banking license fees and a reduced headcount due to the additional automation that the new lending platform provides. The improved functionality enables the bank to tailor its loan products more specifically to the Middle East market, manage and track loans more efficiently, and gain better control of the management of delinquent loans. Furthermore the new platform offers greater flexibility in how fees and charges are handled enabling the bank to develop a new revenue stream by re-scheduling charges.
'Best Central Bank Technology Project' award for its implementation at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI): The implementation of Polaris' Intellect Core Banking Solution (CBS), specifically designed for Central Banks, has already demonstrated significant business impacts for RBI; the end of year balance sheet is now generated in a few minutes whereas the process took 8-10 days in the legacy system; inter-office suspense accounts which previously ran to several million dollars have been eliminated; and the Government now has a unified view and centralized control over the government's cash resources which further has a positive impact on the cost of government borrowing. The solution, benchmarked to 105 million transactions per day, covers RBI's needs for banking and accounting/ GL functionality and supports its deposit accounts departments, public accounts department and public debt office.
Over 60 financial institutions from 17 countries across the Asia Pacific and the Gulf region were evaluated as part of the Technology Implementation Awards 2013. The banks and their vendor partners were honored at a glittering event that recognised their efforts in using the best technology to run their institutions and bring superior products and services to their customers.

Discovery pinpoints cause of 2 types of leukemia
2013-05-10
PORTLAND, Ore. − Patients with two forms of leukemia, who currently have no viable treatment options, may benefit from existing drugs developed for different types of cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
The study, published in the May 9 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, isolated the molecular mutation that causes chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) in some patients. That mutation, occurring in a gene called colony ...
Young women hold the key to success of 'sunless tanning' products, Baylor researcher finds
2013-05-10
Sunless tanning — whether with lotions, bronzers or tanning pills — has been promoted as an effective substitute to dodge the health risks of ultraviolet rays, but if the products don't provide the perfect tan, young women likely will not use them, according to a Baylor University researcher.
"The feeling is 'I tan, I feel good, I'll look good tomorrow . . . What's health?'" said Jay Yoo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of family and consumer sciences in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences. He conducted a study of 182 Caucasian female college students, with an average age ...
CU study suggests link between tumor suppressors and starvation survival
2013-05-10
A particular tumor suppressor gene that fights cancer cells does more than clamp down on unabated cell division -- the hallmark of the disease -- it also can help make cells more fit by allowing them to fend off stress, says a University of Colorado Boulder study.
CU-Boulder Professor Min Han said the research team was interested in how a common tumor suppressor gene known as Retinoblastoma 1, or Rb, behaved under conditions of starvation. The question is important, said Han, because it may help researchers understand why many cancer cells are more susceptible to starvation ...
Scientists confirm that the Justinianic Plague was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis
2013-05-10
From the several pandemics generally called 'pestilences' three are historically recognized as due to plague, but only for the third pandemic of the 19th to 21st centuries AD there were microbiological evidences that the causing agent was the bacterium Yersinia pestis. "For a long time scholars from different disciplines have intensively discussed about the actual etiological agents of the past pandemics. Only ancient DNA analyses carried out on skeletal remains of plague victims could finally conclude the debate", said Dr. Barbara Bramanti of the Palaeogenetics Group at ...

The Elephant's Tomb in Carmona may have been a temple to the god Mithras
2013-05-10
The so-called Elephant's Tomb in the Roman necropolis of Carmona (Seville, Spain) was not always used for burials. The original structure of the building and a window through which the sun shines directly in the equinoxes suggest that it was a temple of Mithraism, an unofficial religion in the Roman Empire. The position of Taurus and Scorpio during the equinoxes gives force to the theory.
The Carmona necropolis (Spain) is a collection of funeral structures from between the 1st century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. One of these is known as the Elephant's Tomb because a ...

NRL shatters endurance record for small electric UAV
2013-05-10
WASHINGTON--Researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory flew their fuel cell powered Ion Tiger unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for 48 hours and 1 minute, April 16 to 18, by using liquid hydrogen (LH2) fuel in a new, NRL-developed, cryogenic fuel storage tank and delivery system. This flight shatters their previous record of 26 hours and 2 minutes set in 2009 using the same vehicle, but with gaseous hydrogen stored at 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
Liquid hydrogen is three times denser than compressed hydrogen. The cryogenic liquid is stored in a lightweight tank, ...
