Ness Technologies, a provider of IT services and solutions, has announced that the First International Bank of Israel has selected Ness Technologies and SAP to establish a core banking system for mortgage management through SAP's Consumer and Mortgage Loans system.

<p>The Consumer and Mortgage Loans system enables the establishment and business management of loan products for private and business customers. The system&#0039;s workflow processes make it possible to automate the work processes connected to the loan&#0039;s lifecycle, including the phase of expressing interest, proposal, loan approval, making the loan and managing its lifecycle, including correspondence, collection and more. <br /><br />The First International Bank of Israel (FIBI) has an option to expand the implementation in the future to manage the entire loan system. Ness Technologies and the bank&#0039;s IT teams will jointly establish the system. <br /><br />Amnon Beck, CEO of Mataf, First International Group&#0039;s IT company, said: The First International Bank&#0039;s selection of an SAP-based solution matches the international trend in the financial sector of preferring off-the-shelf solutions and software packages over traditional self-development, which was the accepted practice in the past.</p>
