Your RPA-Enabled (& Standardized) Back Office “Factory” Begins Here

The back office is the central nervous system of your credit union—and your members’ experience. Think about all of those mundane, repetitive, but vital, tasks required to onboard, service and maintain members.

Given the repeatability, the back office should be the most standardized operation in the credit union. Highly automated. Rigorously measured. Humans involved only to handle complex decisions, oversight, or high-risk tasks. The typical back office may be “standardized”—but not like this.

That’s because a large percentage of work remains under-standardized. Definitions are fuzzy, instructions are undocumented, and employees perform identical work differently—leading to avoidable errors, delays, and bottlenecks that threaten to bring operations to a snail’s pace.

• “Assembly lines” are in fact clunky, quasi-automated business processes, requiring legions of humans to correct errors and bridge gaps between disparate systems.
• Core platforms are aging, inflexible, and disproportionately costly—with no price-increase relief in sight from their highly-concentrated owners.
• Non-core applications often take years to deploy—but only moments to disappoint on their promises of meaningful, valuable automation.
• Looking for simple, intuitive visualization of information to empower revenue-boosting decision-making? Sorry, you’re on your own—with a mountain of unreconciled spreadsheets.

The fact that all of these problems are intertwined makes it harder to recognize the painfully simple, and single, overlooked cause: A decided lack of time-honored standardization, pervading every nook and cranny of knowledge, or office, work—even in the most “standardized” part of your bank: the back office.
