Unit 9 – The Impact of Computing
Learning Aim A – Understand impact of developments on an organisation
Impacts developments in computing have had on an organisation
The rapid development of computer technology over the past 50 years or so has tremendously impacted the lives of
individuals and the ways in which organisations work. Computer technology has created completely new business op-
portunities, revolutionising the world of work. In this assignment, I will learn the impacts of computer technology in a
growing computing development.
I will develop an understanding of both the positive and the negative impacts of computing development on an organ-
isation or business (bank) when it implements a new system. Furthermore, I will also learn the more general impacts
on individuals and society that take place through developments in computing, technology and the systems. Also, the
future impacts it could have.
Task A – Explain what impact the Mobile App / internet banking has had on a bank
The rise of mobile banking has tremendously changed the face of banking in recent times. Traditional banking which
used to be all physical – clients would come in and withdraw, transact, and inquire about their financial needs with a
person or a physical ATM machine. However, now with the development and emergence of the mobile banking tech-
nology, it has changed banking forever in a lot of ways.
For example, with the ubiquitous use of mobile phones and mobile banking, some social trends have arisen in the re-
cent times, one of which is infrastructure changes. A lot of the banks recently have closed down their physical
branches and invested more in their online setup. In fact, this has given birth to many prestige online banks that just
run on the internet and do not have any concept of physical banking at all – all transactions, support etc. takes place
over the phone or the internet (through the app). For instance, one of these banks is called the Starling Bank. It is a
fully regulated UK bank account under the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme).
This can have many benefits such as reacting quicker to competition (updating a website rather than producing ad-
vertising media and distributing it).
Another notable social trend that online/mobile banking has brought, is the impact it has had on the staff – more pre-
cisely the job security of the employees (King Saud University-RCC, Saudi Arabia, 2015). The use of electronic
money transfer, internet banking services and telephone banking has put the staff that was previously known as being
in a ‘safe’, job position employees on risk of losing their jobs. This is because as more and more people are learning,
and looking forward towards the digitisation of systems. This means that the bank would need more software engin-
eers and customer support staff to provide their customers protection and support online, rather than needing staff on
branches to handle customers coming in. In fact apps are overtaking high street branches of banks to claim the num-
ber one spot. (Samojlo, 2019) This is the reason why banks are reducing the number of staff on ground/ tellers.
