Appian Digitizing Customer on-boarding

Coforge’s award winning Customer On-boarding Framework leverages Appian’s Enterprise Application Platform to streamline, accelerate and enhance your customer’s digital on-boarding experience. The framework utilizes the power of the Appian workflow engine to ensure smooth configurable workflow and rules that enable business users to navigate through the on-boarding journey with ease.

CUSTOMER ON-BOARDING

Organizations still rely on outdated, complex, inflexible processes and technologies to on-board and manage customers. Customer on-boarding requires constant collaboration and frequent modification of processes to provide a better service and to stay ahead of obligations related to Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and other contractual regulations. The on-boarding process often spans across multiple departments and can lead to communication challenges and errors if processes are manual.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

  • Currently less than 30% of organizations provide an end to-end digital customer onboarding experience
  • It costs five times as much to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing customer
  • Paper based work allocation (TIF receipt, allocation, verification)
  • Different sets of Q & A (TIF receipt, distribution, document verification, review & entries, break reports) based on products / services for which a customer has to be onboarded
  • Lack of a single system to link clients, onboarding and documents together
  • Lack of an automated workflow solution to process approvals
  • New regulations related to KYC and other risk management areas add to the complexities and changes to requirements
  • Fully configurable “Chatbot” to provide 24/7 support
