APCOB COMPUTERIZATION

 

APCOB has computerised all its Branches and Head Office under Core Banking Solution (CBS) during the year 2002.  APCOB has also installed 4 ATMs at various locations twin cdities and one at Tirupathi and planning to install 10 more ATMs in phased manner.

 

APCOB has also introduced "Any Branch Banking" (ABB) which will facilitate the customers to operate on their Accounts from any Branch.

 

COMPUTERIZATION IN DCCBs

 

APCOB has got developed a Common Software for use of District Cooperative Central Banks for computerising the Back Office Functions of the Dist Coop Central Banks as these functions are unique and would not be covered under any TBA Package.  The Software thus developed is implemented at Krishna DCC Bank & Eluru DCC Bank on pilot basis. 

 

This DCCB Common software contains two parts i.e., DCCB Branch Office Software and DCCB Head Office Software.  This software covers all the loan modules, FAS, MIS, PACS module etc.  Subsequently the software for DCCB Ho to APCOB connectivity and Kisan Credit Card module were also developed.  DCCB Common software i.e., both Head Office software and Branch Office software were implemented at the branches of Krishna District cooperative central Bank Ltd Machilipatnam and District cooperative central bank ltd., Eluru  and its Head Offices.  

 

The software covers the core functions of DCC Banks and does not cover the front office functions like Savings Bank, Current Account etc., However the total scroll figures of SB and other front office accounts will reflect in the Day book under the present software.  If at a later date Front office Software is developed and integrated with the back office software which will not only  help in achieving the commonality in the software of DCC Banks but also  will ultimately help in getting the data in uniform model under Connectivity Project at State level in APCOB. 

                                                           

 

COMPUTERISATION IN PACS

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  With a view to take Information Technology to grass root level, the management of APCOB had decided to select and recommend suitable software for the computerisation of PACS. Because the PACS can derive the following benefits by computerisation.

 

1.      Maintain accurate books of accounts

2.      Diversify their activities to potential non-agricultural activities.

3.      Improve the efficiency, productivity And Profitability of PACS

4.      Lay more emphasis on recovery of principal and interest

5.      Achieve turnaround and become viable and profitable

6.      Achieve growth with profits.

Government vide GO Ms No: 235 dated 7th September 2001 have entrusted the work relating to Computerisation of PACS in 4 districts viz. Krishna, West Godavari, Chittoor and Nizamabad, to M/s: Cooptions Technologies limited.

 

Under the present scenario of various credit schemes offered by PACS to its members and also by the adoption of single window credit delivery system, the PACS would benefit by automation which can simplify their day to day activities and provide them more time for their all-round development.  The software also meets the future requirement of the PACS.
