Banking software adoption

Banking software only creates value when it is mastered at the counter.

Banks and insurers rely on critical systems: core banking for accounts and transactions, CRM and the adviser workstation for customer relationships, policy and claims management tools for insurance, and compliance applications for controls. Every entry commits the customer, compliance and the institution’s reputation.

The domino effect

An incomplete entry costs you all the way to the customer.

In a bank or an insurance company, a mistake at the workstation spreads to controls, lead times and the customer relationship. Application adoption therefore drives compliance, service quality and network productivity.

Branch: an incomplete file

The adviser opens an account without the document the procedure requires.

Back office: a failed control

The compliance check rejects the file, which goes back to the branch.

Customer: a longer wait

The customer waits for the account or the claim payment and calls customer service again.

Banking and insurance challenges

Four constraints specific to banking projects.

Networks of thousands of employees, cutovers with no room for error, instructions that keep changing, systems hosted in-house: change management in banking and insurance follows its own rules.

  1. Networks of thousands of employees

    Branches, remote platforms, back offices: every user group must be ready at the same time. At Crédit Agricole, Knowmore prepares 65,000 employees of the 39 regional banks for the new core banking system.

  2. Cutovers with no room for error

    A core banking migration is decided on Monday morning, at the counter. Advisers arrive trained, without having tested their tasks on real accounts.

  3. Instructions that keep changing

    Compliance procedures, offers, rules specific to each insurer: instructions change constantly. At Stelliant, K-NOW publishes every day the instructions that vary from one insurer to another.

  4. Systems hosted in-house

    Banking applications often stay within the institution’s own IT. At Banque Française Mutualiste, K-NOW is installed on premise to guide the 230 users of the new core banking system.

The users

Six user groups, six ways of using banking systems.

Each profile has its own screens, pace and typical mistakes. Knowmore targets guides and simulations by network, role and branch.

  • Faster settlements

Experts and intermediaries

Loss adjusters, agents, brokers: external users to train remotely.

  • Instructions published in the application
  • The same rules for every partner

Compliance and internal control

KYC, anti-money laundering, duty to advise: controls applied everywhere.

  • Procedures applied at the moment of the task

Choose your project: the critical tasks, the Knowmore answer and the customer proof.

Advisers ready at the counter on cutover day.

A core banking migration changes every adviser screen overnight. K-STUDIO trains the networks on simulations of the new system before cutover; K-NOW then guides every transaction in the screen. At Crédit Agricole, 250 interactive modules prepare 65,000 employees for the new system.

Change management

Change management in banking: Knowmore steps in at every project phase.

A banking system migration unfolds in four phases. Knowmore combines its three solutions according to the phase.

  1. Scoping: measure the starting point

    K-VALUE measures usage of the current applications by network and branch, and highlights the screens where advisers get stuck.

  2. Before cutover: train on simulation

    K-STUDIO replicates the screens of the new system. Each user group rehearses its transactions and takes an assessment, without touching real accounts.

  3. Cutover: guide at the counter

    From Monday morning, K-NOW guides advisers step by step in their screen. Simple questions no longer reach the support desk.

  4. Operations: measure and adjust

    K-VALUE tracks adoption by network; business teams publish new instructions and procedures in the application.

FAQ

Banking software adoption: your questions.

What is a core banking system?
A core banking system runs the central operations of a bank: accounts, payments, loans, deposits and the related postings. Temenos and Avaloq are widely used examples. A migration changes every adviser screen at once; Knowmore drives the adoption of the new system by the people who use it.
What is insurance software?
Insurance software manages policies, premiums and claims: policy administration, claims management, billing and broker portals. Guidewire is a widely used example. Knowmore drives its adoption by underwriters, claims handlers, loss adjusters and intermediaries.
What is banking software adoption?
Banking software is adopted when advisers, handlers and back offices carry out their transactions in the application, following procedure and with complete files, in every branch. Knowmore drives it with three solutions: K-NOW guides each task inside the application, K-STUDIO trains users on simulation before cutover, K-VALUE measures usage to fix friction points.
Which banking and insurance software does Knowmore cover?
Knowmore drives the adoption of core banking systems (Temenos, Avaloq, Sopra Banking), insurance software (Guidewire), CRMs (Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365), treasury tools (Kyriba) and in-house applications such as the adviser workstation.
How do you prepare advisers for a core banking migration?
K-STUDIO replicates the screens of the new system in simulations: advisers rehearse counter transactions before cutover, without touching real accounts. K-NOW then guides them in the screen from day one. At Crédit Agricole, 250 interactive modules prepare 65,000 employees for the new core banking system.
How do you train users on Guidewire or Temenos?
K-STUDIO reproduces the screens of the new system so that every user group practises its tasks before cutover, without touching real policies or accounts. From day one, K-NOW guides users step by step; K-VALUE shows the screens where tasks are abandoned. At Allianz, 68 simulated exercises prepare 7,000 employees for the new version of ABS.
Does K-NOW work with a banking system hosted in-house?
Yes. At Banque Française Mutualiste, K-NOW is installed on premise to guide the 230 users of the new core banking system, together with Deloitte.
Does the application need to be modified to deploy K-NOW?
No. K-NOW runs on top of the application and triggers its help by screen, action, profile or branch, without changing the software or its configuration.
How do you train tens of thousands of employees at the same time?
K-STUDIO simulations are delivered in the classroom and through SCORM e-learning. At La Banque Postale, 70,000 employees are trained on the processes of Isilis; at HSBC, 200 simulated business processes are tailored for 70 user groups.
How do you publish new instructions in the applications?
With K-NOW, business teams publish instructions themselves in the relevant screen, without waiting for a new training session. At Stelliant, K-NOW publishes every day the instructions that vary from one insurer to another.
How do you measure banking software adoption?
K-VALUE provides dashboards, journeys and usage indicators by application, network, branch or user group. The screens where advisers abandon their entries stand out, so you prioritise guides and training based on facts.
