2. Objective of Soft Component
Merely constructing, supplying, and showing how to operate an ICT system does not ensure
its continuous usage. The first objective of the Soft Component is to ensure a smooth start-up
of the system by CBM, into an autonomous and sustainable utilization and operation status.
The immediate objective is to ensure operational, technical, and stable start-up of the system
which will be launched in April 2020, by 1) preparing the manuals, 2) conducting trainings,
3) conducting explanations and trainings for commercial banks who are the actual users of the
system, and 4) supporting the setup of a sustainable operation and maintenance of the system
even after the completion of the grant aid assistance, i.e. after the entry into service of the
system.
Business changes rapidly depending on the new legislatures, the status of the economy etc.
And also, as the system must evolve in response to any additional business demands and
technology progress, etc. the Soft Component will also aim to create an environment where
the initial basic structure of the ICT system at the entry into service will be sustainably
maintained.
3. Soft Component Deliverables
Smooth start-up of CBM-NET will be ensured by conducting the Soft Component in response
to the 2nd Development. In light of the objectives mentioned above, concrete deliverables
from the Soft Component will be as follows:
1) Preparing the manuals
Based on laws and regulations and the institution of CBM, a detailed business plan is
required to enable precise and efficient business operations.
The assured quality and quantity of the manuals makes for appropriate usage and
operation of the CBM-NET in response to the 2nd Development.
2) Training (tutorial / user education)
Officers of CBM are provided with training of sufficient quality and quantity to
become capable to conduct the business utilizing the system appropriately;
3) Commercial bank support
Users at the commercial banks are provided with training of sufficient quality and
quantity to become capable of conducting the business utilizing the system
appropriately.
4) Maintenance & operation support
Operational plans for the running of the system after start-up are developed and
utilized.
4. Evaluation of deliverable completion
