Using Alteryx to automate processes at an international bank

Background

A multinational investment bank is one of the world’s leading financial service organizations. Despite advancements in digital, the organization continued to rely on manual processes. They were spreadsheet-based and dependent on an outdated database system. They also lacked a data governance framework, making it difficult to standardize processes and ensure data quality. As data volume continued to grow, they knew they needed to implement a modern, more efficient solution.

Challenge

The company wanted to save time and reduce full-time employee cost while also reducing errors. They also wanted to create auditable, automated workflows with key operating procedures (KOPs) to eliminate key person dependency, turn use cases into apps for company-wide use, drive direct-from-source automation, implement a data governance model, and enable the Alteryx user community.

Approach

- Added two Keyrus Alteryx experts to their team to onboard employees to the tool and assist with enablement - Helped the company implement an Alteryx workflow called Automated Alteryx Documentor - Customized the workflow specifically for the organization
