The Loan-by-Phone Intranet is to aid applicants apply for a Car Loan via the phone and be approved and/or rejected within minutes. The application takes customer information, looks up at previous credit history and then processes the application for payment capacity. If approved, it then a customer can choose for the car model, down-payment, tenor and insurance. All this is via a web-based front-end and being processed at the back end by Allaire ColdFusion.

"It is heartening to know Citibank has again entrusted us with this project. As time goes by, corporations in Pakistan are realizing the power of an Intranet, and Citicorp (which already has embraced the Internet/Intranet) is now ensuring that business critical / mission critical applications are also ported to this open-source platform / medium" says Faisal Khan, Managing Director at Net Access.

The project is expected to take four weeks of development time and further two weeks to complete User Acceptance Test.
