Accelerate business transformation with innovative services and business models from IBM. Component-Based Business Modeling (CBM) is a methodology that helps to identify unique, standalone building blocks that comprise your bank as a whole. The Information Frame Work (IFW) is a comprehensive set of banking business models that represent best practices. Together they can help you view your business as a set of components and then you can model streamlined, efficient ways to integrate your disparate processes and entities. The IFW models contain deep banking business content and have been developed over the past decade in conjunction with numerous global financial institutions.


Modeling a business as a network of components can lead to improvements in three critical areas.
  • Efficiency - view business activities as autonomously managed components that can be optimised individually for greater value to the whole business.
  • Strategic planning - identify and prioritise the correct initiatives for delivering business value.
  • Flexibility - enable your bank to cut through historical boundaries that may have built up along organisational, product, channel, customer, geographical and informational lines.
