All the zonal offi ces were brought under Internet network. As a result data transfer has become both easy and less expensive. All area offi ces (Information Management Centres) will be setup Internet network to get betterservices. Grameen Communications,an independentcompany provides necessary technical assistance for supporting the computerization programme of Grameen Bank.

Since its modest beginning in 1993, GB computerization programme has come a long way. At the end of 2010, 2,565 (out of 2,565) branches have been computerized. To increase the operational effi ciency of any fi nancial institution, it is important to minimise paper work at all levels particularly at branch level. Given the limitations of power supply, it is still not possible to derive maximum benefi t from the computerization of Grameen management information system, especially in the rural areas.

During the year 2010, we set up all Information Management Centres at the area level. All of our area offi ces had setup Information Management Centres in this year. At the Information Management Centres, three branches are served by one computer. All branches within an area receive services from the centre. Each centre provides all types of loan monitoring and accounting services on a regular basis. Therefore, it has been possible to both reduce costs and increase the effi ciency of the computerizationprogramme.

When the Information Management Centres attain their full capacity to serve 3 branches with one computer.
