Bank of Thailand picks Autonomy for records

The Bank of Thailand has selected Autonomy's Record Management solutions as part of the bank's business strategy to improve operational efficiency. By implementing Autonomy Records Management across the organisation, Bank of Thailand hopes to ensure all documents and electronic files are managed in a secure and reliable environment as well as made available for collaboration and retrieval.

Bank of Thailand is the nation's central banking institution and is responsible for all banking functions in the nation, including implementing the country's monetary policies, providing facilities for financial institutions, and printing and issuing bank notes and security documents. Recently, Bank of Thailand was tasked with protecting institutions and citizens from the effects of the economic crisis and ensuring governance and transparency into the organisation.

To improve both governance and visibility, Bank of Thailand required an electronic records management solution that was secure, reliable, and compliant with global EDRM requirements, including Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records, a pan-European Records Management standard, DOD 5015.2, and the audit requirements of regulatory agencies. Bank of Thailand also required connectivity with frequently used applications, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and Microsoft Active Directory.

The Autonomy Records Management solution should ensure regulatory compliance and enable Bank of Thailand to control and access structured, semi-structured, and unstructured content on a single, centrally managed system.

"Bank of Thailand required a secure, scalable, and accessible system to manage records captured from our business activities. Autonomy's Records Management solution not only met those goals but provided the retrieval and collaboration tools we need for our day to day operations," said Sibporn Thavornchan, senior director, IT Department, Bank of Thailand.
