TEB Collective Intelligence Platform

Once TEB employees enter the portal using their own ID, they reach a single desktop from which they have immediate access to all the business processes, functions, and application standards through a graphical user interface.

Employing more than 6,000 people, TEB (Türk Ekonomi Bankası) is also growing rapidly. TEB's software development manager Leyla Sardağ says the bank had been operating an in-house information portal for users throughout the company since 2000 but that new needs arose, especially with the increase in user numbers resulting from the bank's growth in the wake of the BNP Paribas joint venture:

"Our idea was that a new employee at the bank should be able to get all the information they needed from a single address and not have to search for it in different places. Furthermore this new portal had to be a platform that would increase job productivity; newly-opened and expanded branches should be able to send out their messages in a shared environment rather than have to use different tools."

TEB's newly-installed corporate portal was initially planned for use in the bank's human resources management and it was intended to be a way to get information about personnel job accountabilities and processes.
