One of the leading superannuation funds in Australia, Aware Super Pty. Ltd. successfully brought together three powerful funds under its umbrella, expanding its influence in the financial sector. After this merger, Aware Super began to experience a number of issues regarding process visibility – while each of the three merged funds proved productive, it was difficult for the company to analyze data across the disparate, siloed systems. The company decided to leverage a streamlined approach to managing its enterprise-wide processes through unified automation and standardization across all business fronts.
This transformation would help the fund go from an organization with very limited process knowledge to an organization that leverages process knowledge for continuous improvement and regulatory compliance, helping it set a standard of excellence in its industry.
