Challenge	Before the implementation of ProcessMaker, GTBank’s internal business processes operated on an outdated management suite. The previous vendor’s product architecture and point solutions weren’t delivering the level of customization nor scalability for customers that the bank needed. The rising cost of the previous system became harder to justify. GTBank needed a central processing department at corporate to handle tasks like demographic changes and maintenance. Originally, this was happening at individual branches. Departmental silos and communication lags became a negative effect that contributed to the inefficiencies in cross-collaboration. GTBank also wanted to use the system for foreign exchange transactions—or exchanges involving money moving in and out of the country. Specifically, it needed to integrate ProcessMaker with the Swift Financial Messaging Service. This service generated Telex messages to notify banks when money transfers have been completed. Those requests would then be received and approved in the ProcessMaker system before initiating the transfer. Read More

Solution	GTBank required a robust solution that was going to be able to streamline all of its branches and processes on one platform. The amount of complexity, customization, and power the possible solution required was enormous.
