Better Content Management for Banks Equals Happier Customers: Here’s How

Customer service counts for a lot in banking. This has always been the case, but it’s more true now than ever, with banks of all sizes struggling to meet the heightened expectations driven by a super-competitive market. 

As banking customers get smarter, so too must the ways that banks approach their operations. This applies to everything from how banks communicate with their account holders to how they utilize technology. And while there’s no single tool that can do it all, content management for banks is one simple but highly impactful step that banking institutions can take to streamline processes, drive loyalty, and ultimately enhance the customer experience. 

Our cloud-based enterprise content management (ECM) solution is a big win for banks, offering unique benefits that improve rates of customer satisfaction and trust. Learn about those benefits below, and get in touch for a demo of the Systemware bank content management system. 

Four customer experience benefits of ECM for banking

The modern banking consumer is more educated and informed than ever before. They also have significantly more options available to them, including a host of new digital-only options. In order to compete, banks must adapt to the constant changes in industry expectations, many of which are driven by new fintech and regulatory guidelines surrounding customer data use, storage, and security. 

Fortunately, the right approach to content management can go a long way toward helping banking organizations keep up with the times. Systemware’s cloud-based process automation for financial services offers some big benefits that address the challenges of data management for banks and mitigate their impact on real-world customer experiences. Here are four of those benefits and how they work to boost customer satisfaction rates. 

1. Personalized customer interactions

Systemware makes it exceedingly easy for banks to leverage customer data for more tailored, more solution-driven interactions. Instead of making customers do all the digging into their records, banking professionals are able to search an extensive collection of relevant data points, delivering enhanced personalized services to customers rooted in timely data records and insights. 

2. Faster transaction processing

Everyone is busy, including bankers and their customers. Centralized data management for banks helps reduce customer wait times and keep things moving, streamlining document workflows to enable quicker approvals and transactions for loans, account openings, and other banking services. 

3. Omnichannel support

The banking industry has been thoroughly digitized over the past decade, with most customers preferring to bank via a website or mobile app. To meet these changes, banks must ensure consistent and efficient services across all channels – in-branch, online, and mobile. Systemware helps achieve this by providing a unified content management strategy that maintains consistency in customer interactions regardless of where they’re happening. 

4. Data security and trust building

Data breaches, exposures, and leaks erode customer trust and loyalty. They’re also quite common in banking, which ranks as the second most targeted industry for these types of attacks. Quality ECMs like Systemware protect customer data with robust encryption and compliance measures, in turn fostering trust and helping banks maintain long-term relationships with the people who use their services. 

Real-world examples of how centralized data management for banks improves the customer experience

We’ve worked with countless banking clients to optimize the way they manage their content. Along the way, we’ve seen some pretty big transformations in the way these organizations handle and use their data, particularly when it comes to the customer experience. This includes:

• Increasing data extraction flexibility to access and share report data in multiple formats on the fly, regardless of how or where a customer is engaging
• Real-time data capture and retrieval to speed up employee processing times and get customers taken care of faster
• Strengthening collaboration among departments to accelerate decision-making processes
• Minimizing system downtime due to maintenance/upgrades to ensure customers maintain access to key features

A centralized, cloud-based ECM is also a great way to futureproof a bank’s business. It offers a seamless transition between file formats and channels, plus automatic updates, built-in security controls, and comprehensive compliance checks. That’s a must for modern banks and other financial services providers like lenders, insurance companies, investment banking firms, and money managers.
