Through sophisticated electronic modeling tools, combined with Unisys deep industry experience in banking, 3D-VE allows BOCHK to more strategically re-engineer processes by helping to reduce the risks associated with implementing change.

Unisys will build the new voucher imaging system based on its leading InfoImage technology which numerous top financial institutions worldwide use to upgrade and better integrate their document management procedures.

"This engagement builds on our existing 10-year relationship with Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, and we look forward to working with the bank to transform its processes to help reduce costs and improve service," says Iain Moss, managing partner, Global Financial Services of Unisys in Asia. "Our integrated document management approach takes advantage of the latest image technology and also helps the bank better plan a comprehensive document archiving strategy to improve business processes throughout the bank."
