UPDATE: On March 21, 2021, the FCA, the PRA, and the Bank of England published their final rules and guidance on operational resilience. This means firms within the UK financial sector, such as banks, building societies, designated investment firms, insurance firms, and e-money and payment services firms, will be expected to take steps to ensure their operational resilience. If you do business in the UK, you may want to read our blog – ‘Operational Resilience Regulations are Coming. Are you ready?'

Transforming Client Services in a Regulated Industry

With multiple applications (such as Visio, Word, PowerPoint, and an EA tool) and no standards or common language for process design, this financial services solutions provider suffered from significant process errors. They were wasting time recreating processes that already existed (in silos). To address these challenges, they wanted to transform the creation and management of the processes that underpin their client services while ensuring they met regulatory requirements.

Using BusinessOptix, the solutions provider leveraged its process design knowledge and capabilities to create “as-is” and regulatory compliant “to-be” processes, which included:

• adding descriptions and contextual data against processes
• capturing requirements across all stakeholders
• delivering work instructions and a knowledge repository
• implementing a collaborative review and feedback process between process designers and stakeholders, rolling 100s of new processes with embedded regulatory controls and the ability to capture evidence of their use

BusinessOptix was also used to help train the team, set standards and best practice guides, set up a central repository, and create a direct integration into their BPM engine to deliver process automation

The customer has been able to eliminate errors, remove the need to recreate processes, improve their documentation, and store and share processes. At the same time, team members have embraced the new way of working and have appreciated the more standardized processes. In the future, the team will work on cross-functional process design, overlaying data on top of their processes to understand performance and areas for improvement and extending their capabilities to support RPA (Robotic Process Automation).
