Fixed Asset Management System is now implemented at Oriental Bank of Commerce, India
With 2500+ branches, OBC is one of the largest public sector banks in India. OBC faced a significant challenge to track location, quantity, condition, maintenance and depreciation status of its fixed assets. To overcome this challenge, OBC was looking to implement an automated solution to manage complete life cycle of its fixed assets. OBC evaluated 3 fixed asset management solutions and chose to implement Surya’s FAM.
FAM has been implemented across all branches of OBC. OBC now uses FAM to manage full life cycle assets like ATMs, premises, vehicles, furnitures and fixtures, electronics, lockers and cabinets, strong rooms, coin vending machines note counting machines and counterfeit note detectors. Migration of data proved to be a major challenge in this project. Surya helped OBC to identify data quality issues that required attention.
With implementation of FAM, the services division of OBC can now centrally manage assets, check asset quality and track asset movements. Depreciation using Straight Line and Written Down Value methods is now calculated accurately and is available on time.
