The Challenge
MMC, a financial services company based in New Zealand, was facing significant challenges with its client onboarding process. The process was primarily manual, involving handwritten applications, which was causing major bottlenecks for the thousands of clients they onboarded every month. The manual process made it difficult to track issues, introduced a significant amount of risk, and resulted in double handling of material from a user’s perspective. This was due to the need to retrieve data from external systems, which also introduced risk and training issues due to the number of systems MMC had to integrate with. MMC’s CIO, Craig Richardson, recognized the need for a change to streamline the onboarding process, reduce risk and waste, and improve overall auditability.
About The Customer
MMC is a financial services company based in New Zealand. They handle the onboarding of thousands of investment clients every month. Their previous onboarding process was primarily manual, involving handwritten applications, which was inefficient and introduced a significant amount of risk. The company needed a solution that would not only streamline the onboarding process but also reduce risk and waste, and improve overall auditability. The company integrates with a number of external systems to retrieve data, which was causing double handling of material and introducing risk and training issues.
The Solution
MMC implemented a fully automated onboarding solution using Nintex K2 Five. This solution combined a custom user interface (UI) and a task-oriented process to accelerate client onboarding. The process was built with K2 Software and a Blue Prism-based bot was used to automate the task of extracting data from Salesforce and integrating it into a workflow process. Additionally, ABBYY’s Content IQ solution was used to provide document scraping and analysis capabilities. This solution, initially seen as a proof of concept, quickly became a critical piece of infrastructure that enabled scalability. The results were immediate, with a significant increase in the number of applications the team could onboard, sometimes even clearing the applicant queue way ahead of schedule.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
