Challenge	LCL, a leading French financial services and banking company, faced several challenges as banking went digital. The customers who valued reliability above all else came to expect omni-channel accessibility, better communication, and more digital services. LCL wanted to adopt an omni-channel strategy and serve its customers with digital channels available around the clock as well as branches in a seamless way. This digital transformation required a major initiative to modernize the existing IT architecture. In 2012, LCL lacked a robust and integrated system for enabling such functionality, particularly when it came to new service initiation. Read More

By harnessing the business process management capabilities of the Digital Business Platform, LCL automated more than 60 processes—from ordering replacement banking cards, to customer onboarding, to loan initiation—unlocking the potential of offering these services 24/7 online and on mobile.
