Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

It may not be a windfall gain but definitely signals an increase in potential business opportunity. The rise in e-commerce and e-commerce driven transactions has meant a significant jump in banking transactions. Numbers clearly validate this story. Industry-wide data provided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) website suggests that outstanding credit card loans stood at Rs.30,300 crore as on 31 December 2014, up 24% from Rs.24,400 crore a year ago. This scenario means that banks now have to deal with much more data than ever before and a robust and scalable IT infrastructure is the order of the day. Therein, lies the opportunity for banking technology vendors. Imagine this: after a detailed search on deciding what to gift a family member, a consumer is not able to buy the product online as the payment gateway fails. A few customers may retry but most e-commerce vendors have lost the client forever. One of the aspects which could have gone wrong in this case is that investments in IT infrastructure have not kept pace with the growth in the bank's business. Servers, for example, form the foundation of any bank's IT infrastructure. Banks need to have a long-term view of customer acquisition goals and expected business growth to build a long-term view of the server technology to be adopted.
