AI acceleration for Front Office & Ops, delivered by Alteryx

Business challenge

Fund administrators and investment firms manage multiple complex onboarding processes simultaneously, yet the industry still relies on fragmented, manual interactions across email and disparate systems.

This leads to onboarding timelines stretching into months, with limited visibility into progress, issues, or risks for both firms and clients.

Firms also lack the ability to track and manage onboarding using key business metrics—such as AUM, utilisation, fees, and milestones—making it difficult to measure performance or report effectively.

 

The approach

Built on process automation platforms such as Appian or Camunda, the solution provides a digital onboarding control centre that orchestrates end-to-end onboarding activity through automated workflows and integrated data and document stores.

It delivers a real-time, dashboard-driven view of onboarding progress, supported by structured process execution and AI-enabled enhancements.

A generative AI natural language interface enables users to query, analyse, and report on onboarding data using interchangeable large language models (LLMs).

Business benefits:
