A WNS Perspective
Banking and financial services firms face mounting pressure to eliminate manual, paper based processes while ensuring data security and audit readiness. Fragmented communication across e-mails and phone calls, coupled with siloed document storage, leads to lengthy transaction cycles and limited scalability. A cloud native automation platform is critical for boosting operational efficiency, transparency and compliance.
Legacy, paper based workflows lacking automation and process orchestration
Complex change management across multiple teams, locations and time zones, requiring extensive technology approvals
Absence of real-time process monitoring and no scalable reporting or auditing system
WNS stepped in as a digital transformation partner to design and implement a smarter Appian based business solution structured into three main components:
percent ROI achieved within a short time of automation deployment
Transaction times reduced from two months to a few weeks
>x growth in user base as reduced turnaround times enabled rapid user onboarding
x growth in team size owing to the scalability of the solution
Drastic reduction in paperwork, advancing the client’s “Go Green” initiative
The success of this project built confidence in scaling up hyperautomation efforts and the solution was rolled out across the entire Alternative Investments department within eight months. This transformation underscores the power of cloud native automation to drive efficiency, compliance and growth in banking and financial services – technology-powered for tomorrow’s challenges and human-led at every step.
Where would we be after one year without our fantastic development team at WNS? You all have made our journey a success and each team member has made meaningful contributions along the way. Some team members have come and gone, but I include all of them in my heartfelt thanks.
- Senior Vice President
Thanks again to everyone on the WNS teams for making the deployment a success. We all have a lot to be proud of with this, our third application on the platform! This one will eventually touch all of our employees in the department and make our work more fun, well-controlled, and more efficient. Thanks all again and congratulations!
- Product Owner, Alternative Investments Department
Hyperautomation in financial services refers to using advanced technologies like low-code platforms, AI, and workflow automation to streamline operations, reduce manual work, enhance compliance, and improve scalability. It transforms legacy processes into efficient, auditable, and digital-first workflows.
WNS partnered with the bank to design a cloud-first Appian solution, including a customer interaction portal, centralized document repository, and automated auditing tools. This approach digitized workflows, improved real-time tracking, and enabled enterprise-wide automation adoption quickly and efficiently.
The firm struggled with manual, paper-based workflows, fragmented communication, slow transactions, and lack of real-time process visibility. Complex change management across teams and locations made scaling difficult, limiting operational efficiency, audit readiness, and the ability to onboard users quickly.
The bank achieved a 23% ROI, reduced transaction times from two months to a few weeks, grew its user base sixfold, expanded the team three times, and significantly cut paperwork, supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability goals.
By providing a scalable, cloud-native platform with automated workflows, secure document management, and audit-ready reporting, the solution allows rapid user onboarding and process replication across departments, enabling the bank to expand automation across the organization confidently.
Appian offers a low-code, cloud-native environment that supports workflow orchestration, real-time tracking, document digitization, and compliance automation. Its flexibility allows banks to modernize legacy processes, scale operations efficiently, and achieve faster, auditable outcomes.
