MOTIVATION
There were four vital drivers behind Orion’s desire to begin implementing automation:
- Scale business processes
- Decrease operational errors
- Improve client experience
- Bring about cultural transformation
SOLUTION
JIFFY.ai’s intelligent automation solution addressed these four major business use cases for Orion:
- Eliminated the need for manual intervention in new account creation from custodian data. The solution ensures 24/7 availability without stretching resources.
- Transformed the monthly statement curation process. The solution extracts data from custodian sources, creates statements, and uploads them in a presentable format to the client accounts, thus reducing the volume of month-end efforts for Orion’s employees, and improving their client experiences significantly.
- Automated the transfer of redemption request metadata between Orion Connect and the ECM, keeping that channel intact. This ensures that repetitive, rules-based steps are performed automatically while keeping a ‘human in the loop’ for approving exceptions.
- When a request is submitted to update model allocations, the automated solution now pulls trade data and creates a list for the Traders to be notified. It then updates the allocation information and sends out the appropriate trade notifications in real-time.
BUSINESS IMPACT
- Two automation processes in production, saving 2,000 person-hours of effort annually.
- One automation process undergoing user acceptance testing, saving 390 person-hours of effort annually.
- Three automation processes in development with potential savings of 5,000 person-hours annually.
TESTIMONIAL
