About The Customer
MMC is a financial services company based in New Zealand. They handle the onboarding of thousands of investment clients every month. Their previous onboarding process was primarily manual, involving handwritten applications, which was inefficient and introduced a significant amount of risk. The company needed a solution that would not only streamline the onboarding process but also reduce risk and waste, and improve overall auditability. The company integrates with a number of external systems to retrieve data, which was causing double handling of material and introducing risk and training issues.
The Challenge
MMC, a financial services company based in New Zealand, was facing significant challenges with its client onboarding process. The process was primarily manual, involving handwritten applications, which was causing major bottlenecks for the thousands of clients they onboarded every month. The manual process made it difficult to track issues, introduced a significant amount of risk, and resulted in double handling of material from a user’s perspective. This was due to the need to retrieve data from external systems, which also introduced risk and training issues due to the number of systems MMC had to integrate with. MMC’s CIO, Craig Richardson, recognized the need for a change to streamline the onboarding process, reduce risk and waste, and improve overall auditability.
The Solution
MMC implemented a fully automated onboarding solution using Nintex K2 Five. This solution combined a custom user interface (UI) and a task-oriented process to accelerate client onboarding. The process was built with K2 Software and a Blue Prism-based bot was used to automate the task of extracting data from Salesforce and integrating it into a workflow process. Additionally, ABBYY’s Content IQ solution was used to provide document scraping and analysis capabilities. This solution, initially seen as a proof of concept, quickly became a critical piece of infrastructure that enabled scalability. The results were immediate, with a significant increase in the number of applications the team could onboard, sometimes even clearing the applicant queue way ahead of schedule.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of the automated onboarding solution had a significant impact on MMC's operations. The solution not only increased the throughput of applications but also eliminated the use of paper, saving over 2 reams every day. This led to a significant reduction in waste and contributed to the company's sustainability efforts. Additionally, the automation freed up 2 full-time equivalent employees to work on efficiencies in other parts of the onboarding and registry process. The solution also reduced the training requirement for new staff as the Business Process Management (BPM) tool ensured the correct process was followed within the single application. This led to improved consistency in the onboarding process and reduced the risk of errors.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 50% increase in applications processed within the first week of implementation
  • 6,000+ onboardings per month
  • 500+ reams of paper saved in a year
