WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF EMAIL, THE CONNECTION LANDSCAPE HASN'T ALTERED MUCH IN A WHILE. THE FBC EMAIL SERVER'S STORAGE CAPACITY IS INSUFFICIENT TO HOLD EMAILS OLDER THAN FOUR MONTHS, WHICH OBLITERATES ITS PAPER TRAIL. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN USING EMAIL, THERE IS A PROPENSITY TO ACCIDENTALLY MISS CRUCIAL COMMUNICATIONS OR FORGET TO COMPLETE A TASK TO THE POINT WHERE YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED TO DO IT. PROBLEM STATEMENT • CHALLENGES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, INCLUDE MISSING THE REQUESTS ON EMAIL, ACCIDENTALLY DELETING REQUESTS, AND REQUEST MISS POST. • THE USE OF EMAIL AS A PLATFORM FOR INTERNAL COMMUNICATION HAS A NUMBER OF DISADVANTAGES SUCH AS LOW STORAGE CAPACITY OF APPROXIMATELY 680 MB AND IS NOT REMOTELY AVAILABLE. • ONCE THE EMAIL IS FULL, THERE IS A RISK OF LOSS OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION. IT IS TIME-CONSUMING TO READ AND WRITE WHEN RESPONDING FOR APPROVAL. SECURITY RISKS, TRANSACTION DIFFICULTY, TECHNICAL ISSUES, AND LACK OF CONSISTENCY ARE UNAVOIDABLE. THERE IS A NEED TO ENSURE THAT ALL REQUESTS HAVE BEEN ACTIONED. OBJECTIVES PRIMARY • THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE TREASURY TO BECOME A TOP-TIER DEALING ROOM IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR. SECONDARY • TO ENSURE REQUESTS FROM VARIOUS UNITS /DEPARTMENTS AND BRANCHES ARE ACTIONED FULLY. • TO ENSURE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY INTERNAL CUSTOMERS IS READILY AVAILABLE • TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY. • TO HAVE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER PLAYERS IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR BY PROVIDING A BETTER CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE THROUGH DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION METHODOLOGY RESEARCH METHODS • QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS SUCH AS RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS i.
