Opening Case Case
1.1 The Digital Transformation of the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC)

The Background and the Problem


Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) is the
fifth largest bank by total assets in Canada. CIBC
(www.cibc.com) was formed on June 1, 1961 as a
result of the merger of two chartered Canadian
banks: Canadian Bank of Commerce (est. 1867) and
the Imperial Bank of Canada (est. 1875). Despite
being an old institution, CIBC has a history of
embracing technology. For instance, it was the first
Canadian bank to introduce a 24-hour cash
dispenser in 1969 and the first to offer automated
telephone banking in 1992. In addition, CIBC was
the first among the five large Canadian banks to
introduce an app for mobile banking and to offer
eDeposit. In early 2010, CIBC realized that to be
successful in the financial services industry, it needs
to up its digital innovation even further. The industry
was, and still is, facing numerous threats from
startups and established players like Apple and
Google that are luring away customers from
traditional banks by providing more convenient
payment and banking options. Such options are
especially appealing to millennials, 71 percent of
whom would rather go to the dentist than to hear
from their bank and 33 percent believe that in five
years they will not need a bank. In fact, 73 percent
of millennials are more excited about a financial
product from companies like Google Inc. and PayPal
Holdings Inc. and a third are open to switching
banks in the next 90 days. Digital Solutions To
address the concerns and to enable nimble
responses to the technologically evolving
environment, CIBC decided to undergo a digital
transformation. So, unlike the common practice in
many banks, CIBC did not want to run the digital
channel as only one service channel alongside
branches, ATMs, and telephone banking. However,
maintaining a high level of digital engagement
requires continuous innovation. Although such
innovation was not new to CIBC, the bank knew that
it needed a dedicated effort to succeed in the digital
channel. One project that had a particularly positive
impact on CIBC’s endeavour to attain digital
transformation was Live Labs. Located in Toronto’s
MaRS Discovery District, CIBC Live Labs, an
innovation and digital technology centre, strives to
build, test, and launch digital solutions to enhance
customers’ experience. Some of their most
successful solutions released to date are: • Apple
watch banking app: CIBC was the first Canadian
bank to launch a mobile banking Apple Watch™ App
that enables customers to check their balance and
transactions, transfer funds between accounts,
locate a CIBC branch or ATM, etc. • CIBC Hello
Home: This is a new iOS app that makes mortgage
applications easier and more convenient. The app
allows users to apply, negotiate, track, and receive
approval of their mortgage from their iPhone. •
Natural language voice search for mobile banking:
This is an inapp voice command that allows users of
the CIBC mobile banking app to access various
features and to explore products with a simple voice
prompt. For instance, if a user says “send money,” a
list of options, such as e-transfers, is presented.
Results CIBC’s efforts did not go unnoticed. In 2016,
CIBC earned the highest overall score in the
Forrester Research Canadian mobile functionality
benchmark. According to the Forrester Research
report, CIBC stands out by supporting diverse
mobile touch-points and excelling at marketing and
sales with features such as pre-approved offers and
pre-filled applications in the mobile app.
Subsequently, in March 2017, CIBC was recognized
as the leader in mobile banking services and
experience in Canada by Surviscor. Surviscor is a
North American firm specializing in the analysis and
ranking of Canadian digital customer experiences
provided by service firms. CIBC also won the
prestigious award of IT World Canada Digital
Transformation in 2017 mainly as a result of its
launch of CIBC Live Labs. In terms of return on
investment (ROI), before embarking on its digital
transformation, CIBC’s sales from its digital channels
made up 2 percent or less of its revenue. This
number increased to 12 percent in three years after
the bank engaged in digital transformation. The bank
also saw a growth in digital transactions to 85
percent of day-today banking. In addition, CIBC’s
sales of digital products and services increased from
250,000 units in 2014 to 1.1 million units in 2017.

Introduction
Before we proceed, we need to define information
technology and information systems. Information
technology (IT) refers to any computer-based tool
that people use to work with information and to
support an organization’s information and
information-processing needs. An information
system (IS) collects, processes, stores, analyzes,
and disseminates information for a specific purpose.
IT has far-reaching effects on individuals,
organizations, and our planet. Although this text is
largely devoted to the many ways in which IT is
transforming modern organizations, you will also
learn about the significant impacts of IT on
individuals and societies, the global economy, and
our physical environment. In addition, IT is making
our world smaller, enabling more and more people
to communicate, collaborate, and compete, thereby
levelling the competitive playing field. This text
focuses on the successful applications of IT in
organizations; that is, how organizations can use IT
to solve business problems and achieve a
competitive advantage in the marketplace. However,
not all business problems can be solved with IT.
Therefore, you must continue to develop your
business skills! When you graduate, either you will
start your own business or you will work for an
organization, whether it is public sector, private
sector, for-profit, or not-for-profit. Your organization
will have to survive and compete in an environment
that has been radically transformed by information
technology. This environment is global, massively
interconnected, intensely competitive, 24/7/365,
real-time, rapidly changing, and information-
intensive. To compete successfully, your
organization must use IT effectively.
