ZURICH, Oct. 26 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (NASDAQ:
APPN) today announced that Vontobel, a globally operating financial
expert with Swiss roots, is deploying Appian Robotic Process
Automation (RPA) across the company to accelerate its business
transformation and automation initiatives. Vontobel began using the
Appian Low-Code Platform in 2016 to streamline operational business
processes from front-line customer service to back-office
governance, risk, and compliance.
Vontobel, a Swiss investment firm, deploys Appian RPA in the cloud
for business transformation and automation.
The Appian platform architecture allows Vontobel to add Appian
RPA capabilities in the cloud to the bank's on-premise Appian
deployment: the RPA bots run on-premise to automate tasks and
update records, while the management and orchestration of bots
remains in a secured local cloud. As such, all sensitive customer
data remains on-premise and in full control of the investment firm,
meeting the region's stringent data privacy and protection laws.
Adding Appian RPA provides Vontobel with a complete automation
solution, enabling them to scale and grow the business efficiently
and securely on one platform.
The Zurich-headquartered
investment firm is specialized in wealth management, active asset
management and investment solutions. Appian RPA automates
Vontobel's manual processes for handling investment assets, banking
products, and other operational workflows. The bots make a
significant contribution to reductions in process times and
operating costs, while also improving data quality for the bank. In
addition, Appian RPA monitors all bots and automated processes with
real time analytics and dashboards, enabling Vontobel to have
better operational oversight for risk management and regulatory
compliance.
Vontobel can create Appian bots with low-code visual design and
deploy them quickly, knowing that no business data needs to go
through the cloud but rather, stay in Vontobel's on-premise
environment. Additionally, Appian RPA allows a quick and easy
implementation in Vontobel's existing IT architecture with seamless
integration.
As part of the Appian Low-Code Platform, Appian RPA enables the
rapid scaling of robotic process automation across the enterprise
at a low total cost of ownership. Based on Appian's license model,
Vontobel can build an unlimited number of Appian RPA bots for a
flat fee and deploy them on Windows and Linux environments for
greater flexibility and higher Return of Investment (ROI).
"We are very proud that Vontobel chose Appian RPA to automate
their mission-critical processes and continue to partner with us on
their business transformation journey," said Dirk Pohla, Regional Vice President of Appian
DACH. "Together with Vontobel, we have demonstrated that Appian RPA
as part of the Appian Low-Code Platform can bring significant value
and deliver impact quickly to benefit any organization, regardless
of their choice to go with an on-premise or cloud-based deployment
model."
