The Financial services industry is broad and multifaceted, it includes banks, credit unions, insurance companies, accountancy firms, consumer finance, stock brokers, and private investment companies to name but a few. A lot of these institutions have to deal with thousands upon thousands of: customers, accounts, transactions, payment files, passwords, usernames.
There is also the important areas of security, audits and fraud. A lot of these institutions are still using outdated manual methods for completion of tasks, such as Excel spreadsheets or in-house solutions that are not ideal.
In the finance departments of these institutions, a lot of repetitive and boring manual tasks are being completed every day, week and month by staff. Due to their nature, these tasks usually lead to mistakes caused by human error, which result in low staff morale and in some cases high staff turnover. All of this affects the company where it matters most, the bottom line. Staff are never going to be happy at a company where 20% of their work consists of repetitive and frustrating manual processes that are unnecessary.
