Typical cases of multimedia communication systems for small financial companies
[ad_1]
For a long time, commercial banks have “credited loans” to small and medium-sized enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises generally have the problem of financing difficulties. On May 8, 2008, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the People’s Bank of China jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on the Pilot Program of Microfinance Companies”. From the initial pilot projects in 5 provinces and cities to the gradual promotion throughout the country, the development of microfinance companies has been rapid. At present, nearly 2,000 small loan companies have opened business nationwide.
The “decentralized, flexible, efficient, and convenient” operating characteristics of microfinance companies determine that companies need to set up branches in their target regional markets and provide consulting services that can meet customer needs. The purpose of this is to provide financing facilities for small and medium-sized enterprises, natural persons and individual industrial and commercial households, but it also brings management challenges to small financial institutions. For cost control considerations, small financial companies need to be able to control the resulting operating costs while providing adequate services to customers. In view of the particularity of financial institutions, the headquarters needs to strengthen the management and control of regional branches and maintain efficient and fast communication with branches. In the case of business growth and branch expansion, companies also need to be able to expand their information communication systems flexibly and at low cost.
All of the above goals can be achieved through the Multimedia Communication System (MCS), which has the outstanding advantages of excellent cost performance, significantly improved corporate communication efficiency, flexible and efficient deployment, and convenient maintenance and expansion. It is very suitable for small financial enterprises.
