Banks are looking for automation solutions that can advance their goals of operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and 24/7 service reliability. SMA Technologies developed the OpCon workload automation platform to check all those boxes.
Automation in the banking industry is enabling teams to deliver more services and focus on strategic initiatives for growth instead of operational tasks.
A modern automation platform emphatically delivers high value because it’s not a simplistic scheduler. It’s a tool that will turn your team into IT process orchestration maestros, capable of automating almost any process that can be scripted. Here’s what an automation platform delivers for your bank’s IT team:
- Minimize risk by converting manual processes into automated workflows, reducing errors by up to 90%.
- Create operational efficiency with scalable workflows – a client grew their business by over 700% while only adding a single IT employee.
- Deliver reliable services with lights out processing – OpCon handles ACH, end of day, and checking processing with repeatable precision.
- Make regulatory compliance easy with comprehensive exportable audit logs of every automated process.
Ready to find out how OpCon workload automation can free your banking team?
Our experts will walk you through our interface and show you how easy OpCon is to configure and operate. We’re ready to answer any question you have and show you why we’re the solution of choice for financial institutions.
Automate once, scale your banking automation system infinitely
If you have to do something more than once, you should automate it. Once you automate a business process it’s like having your most reliable employee running it perfectly every single time. This gives your IT team the power to set and forget more and more processes, clearing up mental bandwidth and allowing them to focus on implementing higher-level initiatives. Most importantly, it means you are drastically reducing the risk of errors from manual processes.
Our automation consultants are experts with long experience automating business processes at banks and financial institutions. We’ve got installation and migration from your existing outdated scheduler down to a fine-tuned process. Our consultants can typically get your team trained and ready to go live with core processing of ACH, EoD, and checking operations by the end of a two-week engagement.
We offer no cost, unlimited basic training for the life of your contract. We know that getting the most out of a software solution requires your team to feel confident in it, and we ensure your team has the knowledge needed to not only run your core IT processes, but to expand automation to other business units, bringing even more value.
