2. We have a bunch of IT organizations which have
arisen out of acquisitions and some ad hoc
decisions
Overall there is minimal benefit realized to any of
them for being part of Bankers
The businesses have significantly different systems
needs to support their operations and little synergy
at that level
That beings said, through legacy and lack of
coordination we have evolved to a situation where
we don’t share and coordinate where it is possible

There isn’t a lot
of synergy here
We share but no
real synergy
We don’t get a
lot out of these

businesses but:

We have a bunch of IT organizations which have arisen out of acquisitions and some ad hoc decisions:
BinTech IT supports part of the P&C business and corporate
But Finance has its own IT
BES has one guy supporting both a business and a corporate function
VWG, BWG, BBIS are fairly self sufficient on their own
Bail is on their own but don’t have a sustaining organization
BLIC is unsupported
Overall there is minimal benefit realized to any of them for being part of Bankers
There are some corporate purchasing agreements
There is some consolidation of hardware happening, however, it is generally random and opportunistic
The businesses have significantly different systems needs to support their operations and little synergy at that level e.g.:
There is little opportunity to use P&C systems for other businesses and
Even the two warranty groups appear to have significantly different processes and systems needs
That beings said, through legacy and lack of coordination we have evolved to a situation where we don’t share and coordinate where it is possible
We use different programming languages
We use multiple CRM systems
We have not moved to leverage our investment in Business Intelligence software and have fragmented reporting tools
We don’t pursue common hardware standards and with only a few exceptions don’t share facilities or tools
