THE PUBLISHED STORY, IN BRIEF

From repeated handoffs
to a connected client journey.

The challenge

A bank’s wealth-management onboarding relied on repeated data entry and manual handoffs, creating friction for clients and employees.

The change

The team built a digital account-origination application with OutSystems, combining self-service and advisor-led journeys with e-signatures and automated process controls.

The outcome

The published story reports a rollout across more than 500 employees in 10 months, alongside the onboarding and data-entry improvements highlighted above.

DIGITAL ALCHIMIA’S DELIVERY PERSPECTIVE

Modernize the journey.
Not just the screens.

The sections below are our analysis, not additional claims about the original project. For a similar initiative, we would start by examining the operating process and the expertise needed to change it.

01 / PROCESS

Map the decisions behind each handoff.

Before selecting a screen or an automation, identify why a request moves between people. Who owns the next decision? Which information is missing? Where is work repeated? A shared view of the process helps business and technology teams define what should change and what still needs human judgment.

02 / DELIVERY

Make responsibilities as clear as the backlog.

An application initiative needs more than implementation capacity. Agree who owns requirements, integration dependencies, technical decisions, testing and acceptance. Where those capabilities are already strong, additional OutSystems professionals can reinforce the team. Where they are unclear, scoping should resolve the gaps before delivery expectations are set.

03 / MEASUREMENT

Define how you will know the journey improved.

Choose measures that reflect the experience you are trying to change. Consider elapsed time, repeated requests for information, incomplete submissions and manual review effort. Establish a baseline and agree how results will be assessed. A published success story is useful inspiration; your own starting point should guide the business case.

APPLY THE QUESTIONS TO YOUR OWN CONTEXT

Where does your onboarding journey lose momentum?

You do not need a finished specification to start. Bring a real process, the points of friction and the people who understand the work. We can discuss the relevant OutSystems expertise and a sensible next step.

A useful starting brief
