INTRODUCTION OF HBL

Management Information Systems 4

“HABIB BANK LTD”

It is the prime Bank in country established in 1941 having a registered head office in Karachi. It was nationalized in 1974, but recently on 26th February 2004 it has been privatized by Government of Pakistan and is taken over by Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED). They acquired 51 percent of shares of HBL. It is one of the largest Banks of Pakistan with 1439 branches and having total assets of Rs.434,931,930,000.

“History OF HABIB BANK”

HBL at its present state has a long and rich history of deeds and sacrifices. All this has been possible on the account of sustained efforts. The first branch of HBL started functioning on 30th August, 1941 at Muhammad Ali Road Bombay, where Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah first of all opened his personal account. Mohammad Ali Habib was a man of stern and persistent will. God. Almighty had bestowed him with extra ordinary capabilities. He was devoted to his Bank with a view to take his share in the uplift of the strife-torn and devastated Muslim community. At the time of its inception, the Bank's total paid up capital was Rs.2.5 million but it is evident from the following data that the Bank experienced a steep rise in the business in a few years. In 1942, on thedesire of Quaid-e-Azam, Habib family migrated to Pakistan and later on shifted the Bank's Head Office from Bombay to Karachi on 7th August 1947 just one week prior to independence, to play its pivotal role in the development of this newly born country. At the time of independence, the areas, which now constitute Pakistan, were producing only agricultural products raw material for indo-Pak subcontinent. Partially no industries were there to process the raw material, therefore the raw material was exported from Pakistan.There were 19 non-Indian foreign Banks which were engaged in the export of crops from Pakistan with only two Pakistani Banks i.e. HBL and the Australia Bank. The circumstances were completely un-certain. The confidence of the people had been shaken by the un-friendly environment and till the time peace had not been restored, people would naturally have been interested in other things. The nation was quite young with extreme scarcity of resources and these definitely added to the difficulties of the govt., to run its own Banking system immediately. Following the announcement of the independence plan in June, 1947, the Hindus residing in the territories now comprising Pakistan started transferring their assets to India and vice versa. The Banks included those having their registered offices in Pakistan, transferred them to India in order to bring a total collapse of the new state. It had been

Management Information Systems 5

decided that the Reserve Bank of Indiawould continue to function in Pakistan so that the problem of demand and time liabilities, coinage, currencies, exchange rate etc be settled between India and Pakistan and the Indian Notes would continue to be legal tender in Pakistan till 30th September, 1948. Again due to certain differences between Indian Pakistan, the Indian Govt., withheld Pakistan's share of Rs.75 core in forward and subscribed heavily to the Govt. of Pakistan to the tide over the crises, Payment was made to the Govt., by the Bank at a very nominal rate of interest, even before the actual issue of securities. At a time when this newly born country was at whirlwind of crises, it was HBL which fulfilled generously the financial needs of all its sectors, paid salaries to the employees of all Govt. departments, helped in establishment ofState Bank of Pakistan, which the Quaid-e-Azam inaugurated on July 1s,1948. HBL after partition opened its branches throughout Pakistan to provide finance and other facilities to the business community. In association with HBL, theGovt. sponsored Pakistan Finance Corporation Limited for financing of cotton. The Bank helped handsomely in the construction of WARSAK DAM PROJECT, WAPDA, & K.D.A. by provided finance and other facilities. Another innovation introduced by HBL is the evening Banking cash long after the crossing of normal Banking hours. It was also the first in making available such new facilities as Gift Cheques, Rupee Traveler’s Cheques, Credit Card System, short term and long term schemes for small businessmen.

Products & Services:

Today, HBL has more than 1,700 branches all over Pakistan and presence in 26 countries across five continents. With a revamped customer oriented philosophy, we are pursuing new avenues of leadership through innovation, as we gear up to face the challenges of the new millennium. Many of the banks schemes have gained national and international as valuable contributors to field of banking.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

Information System:

Information is the life blood of an organization. Managers depend upon

accurate accessible and useful information, this requires the information system to be

responsive to their unique information needs, to empower them to think and act

strategically ,develop effective plans, and make decisions that increase their own and

their organization’s competitiveness.

Today, largely through advances in computer and communications technology,

we are living at a time that many people call the information age. One major reason

our era is named so is because most working people today have jobs that are

information intensive. For example, jobs such as teaching, accounting, retailing and

managing are all predominantly based on the handling of information. This emphasis

differs from that of the earlier decades, in which most jobs involved some type of

physical labor applied on farms and factories.

Data versus Information:

Many people use the terms data and information synonymously. However

there’s a distinct and important difference. Data refers to facts. When data is filtered

through one or more processors so that they take on meaning and value to person they

become information, it is information rather than data which people use to make

decisions.

Data Processing-Information Cycle

Both computer and human mind act as processors that select data and transform them

into meaningful information. The data processing-information cycle shown above

illustrates this. Some of the types of information that may be provided to decision

makers after data are transformed into information by computers or some other kind of

processing. The format of the information received is often dictated by the needs and

preferences of the decision makers.

All programs on a computer system can break down into two main categories:

Application software

System software

Management Information Systems 9

“HABIB BANK LTD”

Application software includes user-oriented programs. Application software includes

the programs, software packages, and tools needed for such specific, end-user-oriented

tasks as billing, accounts receivable, word processing, payroll, database management.

Two main categories of application software exist.

General-purpose application software includes programs and packages that are being

used by workers in the organizations subunits such as word processing spreadsheets,

database or file management, and presentation graphics. These are more likely to be

purchased externally than developed internally by the organization.

Special-purpose application software includes programs and packages that support

the activities of workers in a particular subunit. Accounting debiting and crediting

entries, software’s used in ATM’s, and payroll are usually called Special-purpose

software’s as these software’s have been developed for special purpose operations and

have to be custom made according to the organizations requirements. This kind of

software is being used by a limited number of users or subunits than are in general-

purpose applications.

What Is A Management Information System?

Management information system is said to be any system that provides people with

either data or information relating to an organizations operations. Information systems

support the activities of employees, owners, customers, and other key people in the

organizations environment – either by effectively processing data to assist with

transaction work load or by effectively supplying information to authorized people in a

timely manner. For example, the transaction processing (data processing) system used

to perform accounting and clerical operations in a Bank or any other organization are

information systems. So, the systems that are used to generate periodic and pre planned

reports which is called management reporting system.

Decision support systems, office information system/office automation system,

and knowledge based systems are also viewed as facet’s of an organizations

information system, along with inter organizational electronic data inter change

(EDI) system that strategically link a firm to its customer and suppliers

Management Information Subsystems

Management Information Systems 10

“HABIB BANK LTD”

Management Information System include many subsystems such as Decision

Support System, Transaction Processing System, management reporting system, Office

Automation System, Forecasting System etc however these will be discussed in detail

later in the report. Many types of Information Systems are being used in Habib Bank:

Transaction Processing System

Decision support system

Executive Support System

Management Reporting System

Intelligent Information System

Office Automation System

All of these systems have been linked through Multi-user Online Banking (MOB).

TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEM

The Transaction Processing System (TPS) supports the daily business

transactions for example in the accounting department where the double entry system is

used for recording the daily transactions it will record all the entries that have been

credited or debited during the day and prepare the full report as well as inter relate

these tasks and other into an over all accounting system. This type of system keeps the

organization running by automation the process of the large amount of paper work that

must be handled daily. Unlike the other systems the Transaction Processing System

(TPS) of Habib Bank links together all of the branches of the country in order to have

one database so that the Customer Information can be accessed through all the branches

in the country. Basically the TPS has more dealings with the accounting basically TPS

deals with the accounting department of an organization. In HBL it is used to record

withdraws and deposits of customers. Some of its functions are:

Records the transactions

Records the debit & credit

Tells the balance of customer

Gives the data about the custom

Management Information Systems 11

“HABIB BANK LTD”

TPS makes day to day reports e.g. it manages the double entry system. For accounting

department two types of reports are generated in it.

Detailed Report:

It is a full and computerized report of the transaction passed for the day. It records:-

How much loan was given

Time

Who was given the loan

Address and particulars

Summary Report:

At the end of the day their report will tell what has been debated and what has

been credited, in total amounts.

MANAGEMENT REPORTING SYSTEM

A management reporting system (MRS) is an informatio0n system that provides

predefined types of information to management for relatively structured types of

decisions. As opposed to focusing purely on data and the efficient processing of data

(which characterize transaction processing systems), management reporting systems

focus on Information and, occasionally, on effectiveness.

It generates a summarized report for reporting business updates to management

at higher level and for their review. It generates report having:

Name of customer

His address

Limit of loan which bank can give

Approval authority of loan

Date of giving loan

The expiry of deadline

The securities that the bank held against the loan

Management Information Systems 12

“HABIB BANK LTD”

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

A decision support system (DSS) provides tools that enable managers to

develop information in the manner that best suits the decisions they are currently trying

to make. Unlike the MRS, which delivers specific types of information in a pre-planed

format, the DSS provides the manager with the computing and communications

capabilities to develop his or her own decision models, databases, and report formats.

Decision support systems often also focus on such areas as flexibility in meeting a

variety of continually changing needs.

After getting the data from TPS and MIS manager makes his decisions on its basis.

The manager can also forecast a future trend on the basis of DSS. Present decisions are

based on past data that is available in the system.

EXECUTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM (EIS)

An executive information system (EIS) - which is sometimes referred to as an

executive support system (ESS) - is a DSS that is designed to meet the special needs of

top-level managers. Some people use the terms “EIS” and “ESS” interchangeably, but

others do not. Any distinction between the two usually is because executive support

systems are likely to incorporate additional capabilities such as electronic mail.

Because executives deal primarily with data about the external environment and

data that come from informal sources, they are usually less reliant in direct contact with

information technology than other types of managers. When information from their

company’s computers is needed, many chief executive officers make their subordinates

retrieve that information. Because executive information needs are more ambiguous

that those of other levels of Management, computers have historically been less useful

to executives. Many executives have little hands –on experience with computers and

don’t fully appreciate how information technology can improve their personal

productivity and decision-making skills.ESS is for executives e.g., Retail General

Manager (RGM) b/c executives are non-technical people so a very user friendly system

is made for them to make their decision making process easy and feasibility, for this

purpose reports are generated to give easy access to information.

Management Information Systems 13

OFFICE AUTOMATION SYSTEM

OAS is the use of computer systems to execute a variety of office operations,

such as word processing, accounting, and e-mail. Office automation almost always

implies a network of computers with a variety of available programs.

Office Automation has traditionally referred to a wide variety of computer-

based technologies that make office workers more productive. The diverse set of OA

tools that enhance office productivity, efficiency and effectiveness are often

collectively called information systems. Many office systems can also be classified as

decision support systems or DSS tools (such as spreadsheets), which can make office

workers more productive and also help managers make better decisions. The blurry line

between decision support systems and Office Automation System should be expected

because most decisions makers work in some type of office environment. Another

example of ambiguity, a database management system that manages data for a firm

might also offer some decision support. Some of the Office Automation Systems used

in Habib Bank are:

CPU’s

Monitors

Fax

Scanners

Printers

Keyboards

Mouse.

How ever this report is going to focus on Retail Banking of Habib Bank, however

corporate Banking in which DSS and ESS is used has also been discussed.

System Development Life Cycle

Feasibility report:

The MIS manager prepares the Feasibility Report to check cost effectiveness

and the required results of developing software.

Specification Requirement:

MIS manager sees what is required for making system i.e., staff, time,

programmers and programmers, PC’s and its peripherals. The previous system is

analyzed to check what were the short comings due to which new software is required.

System Design:

At this stage no actual programming is done but you will design the required

fields i.e., what are the fields for which entry of data is necessary e.g. name, address etc

and then their queries are designed, modules are formed, data entry forms are made. It

is just paper work.

System Construction: At this stage actual programming is done. A skeleton of

system is made and the programmer programmed the software exactly up to the

requirement of the MIS manager.

System Implementation: After testing and debugging, the system is implemented,

when MIS manager is fully satisfied.

Post Implementation Support and Testing:

Management Information Systems 15

“HABIB BANK LTD”

The problems are reprogrammed again.

INFORMATION RESOURCE MANAGEMENT.

The term used to describe this view of information is information Resource

Management (IRM): a concept that recognizes information as a key resource that

should (as should any vital resource) be properly managed. Other fields also think of

their assets in this way. MIS is perceived as an area that can generate opportunities or

value for the organization, not mainly as a source of problems. Because MIS is seen as

a playing a pivotal role in the future successes of IRM-oriented firms including Banks.

The person in charge of the MIS area is often found at the middle managerial level. In

this position the information system department participates in strategic planning and

other key decisions that are made by the organization’s top level managers.

MIS PERSONNEL

The MIS personnel can or cannot be non IT persons. The Information System

Manager is present in all department of the bank. The Management Information System

(MIS) Manager looks after the I.T Staff and controls their operations, the planning and

implementation of System Development Life Cycle also is done by the Information

System Manager. Following are the job titles of people who interact directly with

managers and users and in general manage the whole information system-although

these are not the only personnel working the I.T Department, many other job titles may

be found within this area.

Computers Operations Personnel:

These are the people responsible for the day to day operations of Transaction

Processing System s, management reporting system, and all other shared multi-user

computers. Some of the job titles for the people in this category are the following:

Computer operations manager/System Manager:

The computer operations manager is in charge of the entire operations activity.

He has the responsibility of hiring and assigning work to the other operations

personnel, he is generally a supervisor, he also plans the installation and removal of

DATA BASE MANAGEMENT

Management Information Systems 21

“HABIB BANK LTD”

Database administrators:

Database administrators are responsible for ensuring that users and

programmers have access to the data that they need in order to make decisions or run

applications and for integrity and security of the data in the database.

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:

Database management system is a collection of software that has been designed

to provide a systematic and flexible approach to organizing and access to data that

could possibly exist as separate files in database management all of the Information is

put into a central database and only one program or file entry is required. When a

customer makes an enquiry all the checking, savings and loan data are instantly

available.DBMS has not yet been fully implemented in Habib Bank and will be used

when web-access is made. It is used for references only and soft copies are made for

example a credit database may include:

Name

Location

approval authority of credit

expiry/tenure

securities

sort of finance

DATA MANAGEMENT:

Managerial decision making is likely to be more effective when managers are

able to quickly access the data they need on demand. Most of the other databases data

has been stored on computer-files and databases. These databases include:

Customer/client databases

Employee databases

Accounting databases

Credit databases

Data has been physically stored on a variety of media, including magnetic disks,

compact Discs and paper such as business forms, memos and reports. However it has

Management Information Systems 22

“HABIB BANK LTD”

been experienced that Computer based storage offers several advantages over paper

based storage, such as abilities to;

store data compactly and efficiently quickly edit and modify stored data and make backup copies In HABIB BANK all the data is directly stored in head office. Information Technology department of HABIB BANK have a simple database

structure and use online processing/real time processing that transaction

Simple application software is being using to control, create and manage database..

FILE BASED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:File processing refers to an environment in which data is physically organized

into files (collection of related records). The file processing environment is linked to

the specific application programs that are being used in the organization. These data

and files are shared by many application programs. Although file management is done

manually as files on the computer cannot be manually signed, but files are also created

on computer for record and references. Files made on FMBS include:-

Basic borrowers fact sheet (personal & professional record)

Their Securities (legal documents are manually kept0

Correspondent Files

Credit Files & Legal Files

WORKING:

Habib bank uses a file processing system with different customer files for

example: checking, savings and loans. Often, customers call the bank questions on

several of their accounts. Service representative has to go through the following

procedure:

Enter the checking-account-balance program

Get the required checking Information

Leave program

Enter saving-account-balance program

Get the required saving Information and leave program

Enter loan-account-balance program

Get the required loan Information and leave program

Management Information Systems 23

As we elaborate on Information System or Management Information

System (MIS) we will discuss the many sub-systems that make up a Management

Information System (MIS) these are:

Before any MIS is discussed here it is to be made clear that computer is only a

part of Information System or Management Information System (MIS). The

Management Information Systems 24

“HABIB BANK LTD”

information system may be computer based or manual both have to be taken into

account while discussing a Management Information System (MIS)

ONLINE PRESENCE

HABIB BANK has online presence. We can get data from the web. And also discussed our problems through mail.

www.mail hbl.com is HBL mailing site.

U can easily communicate with HBL management on website. & also submitted your Problems.

ONLINE FACILITIES:

Availability of DEBIT and CREDIT.

Cash withdrawal and deposit.

Transfer of funds.

There are mainly two persons involved in online transitions to make tem successful. The initiator (transaction creator) and the supervisor (supervising the transaction process).

Management Information Systems 25

“HABIB BANK LTD”

SECURITY & BACKUPS

Security is a very important part of an information System, every organization

has to protect its vital data from unauthorized access for this purpose Habib Bank has

many security policies, these are:

A password is assigned to the employees and there is limit to using the

password for example an employee can issue up to a specific amount.

In order to protect from any unauthorized access into the system, the software

that is being hacked from outside and is said to be fool proof.

In order to protect the data, backups are used, for back up Habib Bank uses

floppies, every day backup is done and these floppies are transported to the

nearest branch to protect against any potential hazard for example fire, arson,

earthquake, theft etc,. After a week these backup floppies are transported back

to the branch.

Whenever checque has been cashed so the bank checks the signature and

amount of account holder.

BIO MATRIC DESKTOP:

Management Information Systems 26

“HABIB BANK LTD”

Biometrics, where authorization of transactions is based on the scanning of a customer's fingerprint, iris, face, etc. To maintain security HBL has a new technique of thumb impression recognition.i.e, whenever customer wants to withdraw cash from ATM a thumb impression with personal ID card of customer is needed to be identified .If it is matched with the database maintained by HBL in Karachi head office. And this can be verified within seconds to facilitate their customers.

Cheque/Cash Acceptance, where the ATM accepts and recoginse cheques and/or currency without using envelopes

Bar code scanning On-demand printing of "items of value" (such as movie tickets, Travellers

Cheques, etc.) Dispensing additional media (such as phone cards) Co-ordination of ATMs with mobile phones Customer-specific advertising Integration with non-banking equipment

C.C. TV:

Creating duplicate copies
