Commerzbank Optimizes Customer Service
Commerzbank is committed to meeting the needs of its demanding
private customers.
Infobroker, a comprehensive Intranet tool that integrates financial market data
and customer data handled by separate systems into one overarching application,
can help the firm’s advisors deliver high-quality financial advice to retail investors.
The application is designed to enable advisors to concentrate on client consultations rather than on searching for critical information.
Launched in June 2005, Infobroker was developed by Interactive DataSM exclusively to meet the demands of Commerzbank. Both the content and presentation
of that information are geared towards the specific demands of financial advisors
who work with private customers. “Interactive Data’s Internet expertise, flexibility and creativity helped us to combine customer information and market data,”
comments Dr. Jörg Brock, head of investment strategy and product development
private clients.
Infobroker features a user interface that combines financial market data, the
bank’s internal information and customer portfolios. The portal, which contains
essential information that the firm’s advisors may need to serve their clients,
can be used with an Internet browser from any entitled desk-top. The starting
page gives users a brief market overview. Users can also configure the interface
according to their personal preferences.
Since the system enables Commerzbank to entitle each individual user to specific
content, each advisor receives the data and functionalities he or she requires.
This can allow Commerzbank to reduce market data expenses and increase the
efficiency of its application. Dr. Jörg Brock says: “We wanted to create a financial
market data information system that is beyond compare on the German market
