Key Challenge
A major retirement savings provider was finding it difficult to offer the desired levels of customer experience due to a 5-day blackout period when loading transfer plans. Our client needed an experienced transformation partner that could help quickly automate processes for improved efficiencies.
The Solution
The RRD Retirement team initiated a simple and effective 3-step process:
- Identified labor-intensive steps in processes and marked them for automation opportunities
- Converted hard copy files into a system-readable format using OCR
- Automated data upload and processing in the client’s proprietary system
Outcomes Achieved
With 70+ microautomations to convert all data into a system-readable format, the client was able to achieve:
- 40% reduction in the blackout period
- Superior customer experience due to accelerated access
