ANZ National: What went right and why

by Craig Bunyan, GM Technology, ANZ New Zealand

We've heard a lot about IT project failure in recent months, however hidden amongst the Novopays and Wheedles there have also been some outstanding successes as well, one being the major ANZ/National Bank systems integration.

This was a major change project and an outstanding success with minimal disruption to customers. It's fair to say, however, that this success was no accident. This week we've asked ANZ's GM for Technology Craig Bunyan to give an inside view of what went right and why.

There's new technology coming up, with Vodafone and Telecom both launching 4G, the former ahead of the latter. Again, data is driving that evolution and not calling - I'm not even sure that the telcos will bother with high-definition audio codecs for their LTE networks to make voice call quality better.
